What does that mean or imply? You're reading into it something that's not there and that would be contrary to many other scriptures.

There are no instances of infants being baptized in the bible, nor do such baptisms make scriptural sense, since the first requirement prior to being baptized, is belief which infants are incapable of. They also can't repent of sin nor have any sin to repent of. Infant baptism is a useless, man...

Man-made lables are silly and irrelevant.

Too bad. No one has a choice.

What you've described, or the realization you've seemingly reached, is the crux of the fallacy of the so-called gifts of the Spirit people claim they have today, which they justify solely by their speaking in so-called "tongues". Their proof of the gifts being active today, is tongues only, and...

As a supplemental note, I recall working with someone named Mike Murphy many years ago. Not sure if it was at GD or GM; it's been a long, long time ago.

Haven't been there in a while but I have gotten a number of bibles there over the years.

Just a side note; I see you're very near by. I also live in Michigan, Sterling Heights. I guess we're neighbors!

If I'm not mistaken, the scriptures don't say. BUT, my guess is it's no different than the eleven apostles in Acts 2 on which the Holy Ghost FELL on unilaterally as promised them by the Lord in Luke 24:49, the power from on high, after which they spoke in tongues and the Jews were converted...

You've not read or studied this carefully enough. Read the account in Acts 9 and ALSO, Paul's (Saul) recount of the account in Acts 22. Pay attention to verses 12 and 17 in Acts 9. Verse 12 says "that he may receive his sight" which are the words that God spoke to Ananias starting at verse 11...

Because they're stupid. Don't be mislead by the lable "bible scholars"; it means nothing. Do your own study of God's word, research, and draw your own conclusions. Trust God not so-called "bible scholars".

You make no sense. Goodbye

Believe what you like. But obedience is required. It's not the water it's obedience, which baptism is. Read my response to another party here just posted.

It's really simple. If you believe, you'll take action and follow through by doing something about it and doing what God, through his word, tells you go do. If he says be baptized, that's what you do. If he says confess your belief with your mouth as the Ethiopian eunuch did, then that's what...

Taken from above verse 22 22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: You think obedience is not required? Think again. Mk 16:15-16 15And he said unto them, Go ye...

Goodbye. Believe whatever unscriptural nonsense you like.

Unfortunately, what you've described is contrary to God's word which is our only guide, but, believe what you like and trust in your own illogical logic. Proverbs 14:12-16 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, But the end thereof are the ways of death.

Yes, a act of God but one that requires our doing something first by being obedient. 1. Belief and faith 2. Confession with the mouth per Rom 10:9 as did the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8 3. Repentance as did the Jews in Acts 2:38 4. Baptism (immersion in water) for the remission of sins, also per...

It required the laying on of the hands of an apostle, which is why Peter and John were sent. They laid their hands on them enabling the manifestation of the Spirit. Read Acts 8:16-18. This is the falling of the Holy Ghost, its manifistasltion, not the indwelling of the Holy Ghost which everyone...

Is "his" gospel a different one and not the gospel of Christ? Is there more than one gospel message that conflicts with 'others' in the bible? Before you answer, let me answer for you: NO! There are not conflicting gospels.
