Just read the words of the scripture. It's history. Jesus was speaking directly and emphatically to THEM! Read the historical account. Because he said these things to THEM, what makes you think it has the same direct application to you? It doesn't. You were not directly taught anything by the...

Two anomalies in the falling of the Holy Ghost One in Acts 2 and the other in Acts 10. In both instances, it fell unilaterally without the laying on of the apostle's hands and in both cases it did so first a reason, it the norm. In Acts 10, it fell on the Gentiles as a sign. They still were...

There is no gospel of Paul. There is one gospel preached and taught by all biblical characters and it's the gospel of Christ, and they all harmonize.

It all happens at the same time. Read Acts 2:38-47. They, believed, were told to repent and be baptized for the remission of sins, upon which they would receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, and were added to the body of Christ by the which is the church per verse 47. You aren't a Christian by...

Who was Jesus speaking to as recorded in the John scripture you cited? It was his apostles, not you, not me, not us today. Has the Spirit taught you all things and brought them into remembrance? YOU (nor I or anyone else) are not the YOU that is recorded in this scripture; it's his apostles. Go...

My only suggestion would be, let the scriptures be your guide, and not your gut.

Thread 'Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them' Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them

Bottom line fact of the matter is, modern day so-called "tongues", like all other biblical manifistations (gifts) of the Spitit, WERE, but are no more. They all ceased, and logically so, as was stated they all would in 1 Cor 13:8. Tongues may be "real" all right, but it's real nonsense; nothing...

Contrary to what you stated which is inconsistent with scripture, we DO get the spirit of God upon being saved which is exactly what Acts 2:38 teaches. Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of...

I don't have you confused, but maybe just misunderstood your previous comments. And the spirit and the soul are not one in the same since they can be divided nor did I insinuate you said that. Getting back to the subject, you'll have to better explain what you mean regarding the spirit/Spirit...

You said a lot of stuff but no scripture. The spirit or breath of life that we all have is not the gift of the Holy Ghost as in Acts 2:38. You're insinuating, they are one in the same with no differentiation. It's clear from the scriptures that the Holy Ghost/Spirit that Christians relate to is...

Who did they pray to? Who listened? Their prayers are meaningless and worthless.

The scripture is clear. It (Acts 2:38) says otherwise. It says "receive the gift of the Holy Ghost" which is the indwelling of the Spirit itself. 38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the...

Don't confuse receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit, the indwelling of the Spirit, with baptism of the Holy Spirit. Baptism of the Holy Spirit happened when and to whom? And how does this occur according to scripture? The 11 apostles were baptized in this manner in Acts 2, fulfilling John the...

Believe what you like. Goodbye

Read the original Greek. It's not "by one Spirit", but in one Spirit

I have no idea what you're attempting to say. Goodbye

Yes, I'm stuck on the one word because it's the truth that deniers can't undo no matter how hard they try. And I'm aware of the origin of the word "baptism". It's not English, but transliterated from the Greek word 'baptizo', which means to dip, plunge, immerse.

So, Jesus was wrong in your opinion, and he should have said what was said in John 3:16, right? Next time you see him or speak with him (hahaha), make it a point to correct him, eh? What a laugh! Hahaha
