    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Plain and simple English. I fear you can't read and understand. You are not disagreeing with me! What I quoted were not my words or thoughts, but rather those of the writers of the bible, inspired of God. That's who you are in disagreement with.

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    1st Peter3:21 21The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: Acts 22:16 16And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away...

    SAVED : without Water

    The gospel is simple as God intended, so simple that the people in biblical times could understand it. You've complicated and distorted it.

    Acts 8:26-39 the facts - The eunuch was preached Christ - The eunuch asked about baptism in water because they were near water and what would hinder him from being baptized, so obviously, Philip also told him about baptism and its necessity to be saved - Philip told him if believed he could...

    SAVED : without Water

    No, any water, spring, creek, the Jordan River, etc. You're baptized into Christ. That's the method of becoming part of the body of Christ, by being baptized into it which is the church.

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    The gifts have all ceased as 1 cor 13:8 says they would. They were needed then for a variety of reasons, but not now. Yes, none of those gifts, or manifestations of the Spirit, are present today.

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    You obviously didn't read the text carefully. Start with the below Luke and continue to Acts 1 also below. Luke 24 starting @ verse 33 33And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the ELEVEN gathered together, and them that were with them...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    You have it wrong. Only the 11, not the 120 spoke in other tongues. This was part of the power from on high promised to the 11 by the Lord as recorded in Luke 24:49. Read the entire text of Luke and read carefully Acts 2 and it's clear that it's just the 11. And what's your point about the Lord...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    It was necessary as stated and as recorded. The 3000 were added as recorded in Acts 2, so, that's still part of the aforementioned Acts 2 scenario. No hands of the apostles was laid on anyone and only the apostles spike with other tongues. No record of the number beyond the 3000 either which...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Um Um, yes it is and I know exactly what the Greek word baptizo means; dip, plunge, immerse. In what kool-aid, salsa, ??? Where did John the Baptist baptize? The Jordan River, and that was the precedent set as I mentioned that you conveniently overlooked. Why would anyone think it means...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    2 different issues entirely. Acts 10 AND Acts 2 were extremely unique and for very specific reasons. In both cases the Holy Ghost fell unilaterally on the apostles in Acts 2 and on the Gentiles in Acts 10. What was Unique and special requiring the Holy Ghost to fall in such a manner? What did...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    What is "save"? What does the word mean? Saved from what? Acts2:38-47 is very clear. Upon belief such as the Jews had come to on the day of Pentecost, 1. They repented 2. Were baptized for the remission of sins 3. Received the gift of the Holy Ghost thereby 4. We're added to the body of...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    The answer is simple and found below in Acts 8. The apostles prayed that they MIGHT (not would) receive the Holy Ghost and then laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Ghost.So it required the laying on of the apostle's hands that the MANIFISTATION of the Spirit might happen, the...
