    What Makes Ex-Christians Think They Once Were Christians?

    And you're reading more into the text than is there and making erroneous assumptions and judgements. How about the Jews that crucified Christ? Wasn't that act worse than that of Simon the sorcerer? Were they not saved? The text there says 3000 were added to the body of Christ, or don't you...

    Acts 2:38 says repent. I don't follow you. Repentance is part of the salvation process. 1. Belief 2. Confession of belief as the Ethiopian eunuch did as per Rom 10:9 3. Repent per Acts 2:38 4. Baptism per Acts 2:38 That's the process

    Read further. He was told to repent and he did Acts 8:22-24 22Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. 23For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. 24Then answered Simon, and...

    Everyone baptized into Christ receives the Holy Spirit at the time of baptism according to scripture. There's no delay or time lag. Acts 2:38 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...

    Go pedal your foolish unknowledgable nonsense to someone else that might be foolish and gullible enough to believe it. Goodbye

    What Makes Ex-Christians Think They Once Were Christians?

    Simon was a baptized believer, meaning his sins were remitted and was added to the body of Christ; he was saved no different than myself (ref acts 2:38-47). He was told to repent or perish! What's that mean? Hebrews warns the newly converted jews of backsliding and renouncing the Lord and in so...

    Where does 1 Cor 1:1-9 lead the CORINTHIANS to whom it was written? What WAS the desired intent for THEM? To what conclusion for THEM based on their issues and in their time? These are the questions that should be asked. A then, after you've CORRECTLY digested the Corinthian letter, what can...

    That's what it says, meaning not usurping authority over the man; No women preachers, no women elders, no women leading prayer, and likewise.
