Just FYI, it was still the baptism of John that was practiced while Jesus was alive, and not the baptism into Christ because Jesus had not yet died, so no one could be baptized into Christ or into his death as Romans 6 explains. So like the Ephesians in Acts 19, anyone baptized unto John's...

Just one quick comment. The scripture you quoted above 1 Cor 12:13 "For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit." Read this same scripture in the original Greek. It's not "by"...

You're both wrong no matter how well intended. Baptism is not an affirmation to the church. That's nonsense. That's not why people were baptized. And baptism is 100% required for salvation. What did the Ethiopian eunuch do when he was converted in Acts 8 and what was the verbal exchange...

It's what the scriptures say. 1 Cor 14:22 22Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.

Keep reading thru verse 28

You said that, I didn't. Don't change the subject. Were you a member of the Cor congregation 2000 yrs ago? If not, the letter wasn't addressed to you. An imbecile can understand that.

And only a fool would take them out of context by not recognizing they weren't written to us. They are addressed to them not us.

It's simple! Because it's not the only scripture! There are many more that add additional requirements.

The fact of the matter is, no one today has any of the miraculous gifts. They only were manifested by the laying on of the apostle's hands and they are dead and have been for a long time. See Acts 5:12, Acts 6:6-8, Acts 8:9-19, Acts 19:6, 2 Tim 1:6. And to your point about the gifts being given...

The Ethiopian eunuch confessed his belief ad Romans 10 requires, but also had to do more to be saved. He was baptized (Acts 8). Belief and faith, confession of your belief, plus repentance, plus baptism = salvation

If I said to you I will give you a gift but you must do something first before you can get it. You immediately start thinking, wow, wonder what I'm going to get? Will it be a car, or a TV, or boat, or ??? And what will I have to do? Then I tell you what the deal is and what the gift is. The...

Once again, you don't know what you're talking about. 1.Tongues WAS a sign to unbelievers not believers unlike what is going on today, the nonsense you witness in Pentecostal groups 2. Yes, you're speaking to God unless there is an interpreter because you don't know what you're saying without...

You don't know what you're talking about. The Corinthian letters were written to THEM not us as an example. 1 Cor 1:1-3 1Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes, 2To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and...

Saved by faith alone is a false doctrine that's contrary to scripture. It's nonsense.

It's not biblical in fact contrary to it. And to your comment about so called intelligent, sensible, people Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

You can't even understand what is written in black and white. Believe whatever nonsense you like. You'll hear no more from me.

When that which is perfect is referring to the perfect man meaning the body of Christ. In Corinth there was division as well as many other problems that adversely affected the body of Christ there, which was compared to the body of a man as the scriptures described in 1 Cor 12:12, et al, with...

Here's the text from it's beginning (KJV) What EXACTLY did the Lord say to Ananias starting at verse 11 through 12? And what EXACTLY did Ananias say to Saul in verse 17? And what happened when when Ananias laid his hands on Saul as noted in verse 18? Is there any indication that Saul received...

Were the epistles written to us, literally to us, today, our generation, addressing our issues? Were the Corinthian letters written to us? Was the Ephesian letter written to us? And on, and on. That's not to say they have no applicability to us, they do. There are principles to be learned and...
