    Believing on Christ is a evidence of being born again !

    If you're saying being born again is the result of simply believing, you're very wrong nor is that concept at all supported by scripture. The bible says run deviks believe, so, does that mean they're born again? Nah, it doesn't, so, being born again is not accomplished by believing

    Is Sound Doctrine Essential for Salvation?

    Sound Doctrine and salvation go hand-in-hand. There is no salvation without doubt doctrine which is a major issue with Christianity today. Very few people understand how to save souls, the result of flawed doctrine and ultimately leading to a false hope and lost souls. Sound Doctrine is more...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    It doesn't matter. It still says baptism does now save us. It says what it says, which can't be refuted or unsaid. If it says baptism saves us, then baptism saves us!

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Follow the scriptures not the so-called "early church" which which as I indicated, was already going astray as the scriptures were being penned. Have you not read the 1st three chapters of Revelation and the message Jesus had for the 7 "early churches" of Asia? And from that point the "early...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Mark 16:15-16 clearly answers that 15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Believeth and baptized are inextricably linked together by the...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    That's a silly question. Infants can't believe, have no sin, can't repent and have no need of it based on the aforementioned, can't confess, so, they can't be baptized scripturally. No infants baptized in scripture, and the scriptures further say men and women were baptized.

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Who cares what the early church did. Because they did it, does that validate it? The scriptures are clrear. Believe them, which is or should be our guide, or believe something else.! The Bible also clearly indicates that churches of the day were already going astray.

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    You can disagree all you want but it won't change what the scriptures clearly say Mk16:15-16 15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 1Peter 3:21...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    If you delay baptism when one says he believes, then you may in fact committing the person to eternal death rather than eternal life. If the person would die while they are waiting for YOU to decide if they are ready to be baptized, that person is LOST, not saved. There is no record of anyone...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    The utube footage showed a water baptism and not a baptism of the Holy Spirit. Also, there is no corraborating accounts in scripture that this is that which you indicated ot thought it to be. Upon baptism, we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, but are not baptized by it. It dwells in us at...

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    Except Paul was further directed and told what he still had to do beyond the encounter with the Lord.

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    That's NOT what the story says at all. He was preached Christ Jesus, he believed and verbally confessed his belief, he asked about baptism since they were near a body of water, so, one can only conclude that part of the gospel Philip preached included the subject of baptism and it's absolute...

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    Israel was 1st to be brought into the fold, followed by the Gentiles. There are not two sets of standards and requirements. The jews on the day of Pentecost, were told how sins are removed which is echoed throughout the NT scriptures. Is there sone other method for us to have sins removed, or...

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    The dispensation of the eunuch is the same as ours: after the death of Christ. And was the eunuch a Jew that Philip's words and instructions applied to him and not to us?

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    No, because there is more information contained elsewhere that can't be ignored. No, because there is other information contained elsewhere in the NT scriptures that can't be ignored, that supplements and clarifies the 4 gospels which were a record of events of Christ's life, work, etc...

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    Once again it's not me saying anything but what the bible is saying. And what you have to believe is the gospel. Belief that Jesus is the Christ and thru him and him only can you have everlasting life as he is tge propitiation for sins and by whom your sins can be forgiven by 1. belief and faith...

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    I'm not saying that, the bible is. I'm simply reiterating what God's word clearly says. In Jesus own words below for instance. Ir can't get any simpler or clearer. Mk 16:15-16 15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is...

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    Without a doubt baptism is an absolute requirement of salvation. Numerous scriptures bear that fact out.
