All human kind, "all flesh" by your thinking means every human being, unbelievers, Satanists, jews, non jews, all the believers in other so called gods, all the oriental religions, etc, in other words "all flesh"! Eh?

I've explained this before to a few people including to our friend Steven which post is above somewhere. Read the text closely. Read verse 12 of Acts 9, the words of the Lord to Ananias. There is NO mention of Holy Ghost, only that Saul/Paul would receive his sight. Then read Ananias words to...

Good! We're making progress. And to the comment that the other party made re the Joel prophesy as recounted in Acts 2:16, by "all flesh" as reads the Greek, does that mean every, single person, every single Jew, every single believer, or what? Or, does it mean both Jews AND Gentiles? I think the...

How else does the Spirit enter you? What other scripture tells you how the Spirit enters a believer? Only one tells you how and when and that's Acts 2:38. This is the point I've continually tried to make via the word used there, "gift" of the Holy Ghost. "Gift" is singular for a reason: because...

Who said they needed a sign? Read the text, Acts 8. They hadn't received any manifestation of the Spirit only were baptized, so, like you and I, if you've been baptized into Christ as I have, as were the Jews on the day of Pentecost, we, as did they, received the Holy Ghost, the indwelling of...

Really? Why's that, because you just said so? Your words mean nothing; the scriptures mean everything and are contrary to your words. Ref the scriptures below which contradict YOUR words. The miraculous gifts of the Spirit were imparted by the laying on of the apostle's hands as confirmed by...

So we agree finally! It took you long enough to see the simplicity of the scriptures. 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 gift of the Holy Ghost. Believe, repent, be...

In Acts 2:38, irrespective of commas, the Greek word 'kai', 'and' in English, is used which is a conjunction, and conjunctions tie parts of sentences together inextricably. Billy Graham is the worst example of a preacher since he didn't know how to tell someone to be saved nor does his son...

Water baptism is so meaningless that Jesus himself made the below comments Mark 16:15-16 "15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." Yes, you're...

Your thoughts and illogical words that don't align with scripture. Ignor what you like, believe what you like, but the words will remain. Goodbye

Why did the Ethiopian eunuch even mention water and baptism? He knew absolutely nothing about it nor it's relevance. Very obviously, it must have been part of the gospel message that Philip taught him. You read it and Acts 2:38-47. The combination of those accounts along with Romans 10:9 relates...

To believe as you do is to ignore all of the relative scriptures. Read the account of the Ethiopian eunuch. What did he do and what was the exchange between him and Philip? He did more and was told more than just believe. And likewise, the jews on the day of Pentecost were told more than just...

Believe what you like, goodbye

Nothing went wrong St. Ste.Ven, as I've stated and restated. The scriptures you cited are validation that to receive the manifestation of the Spirit, the miraculous gifts, those listed in 1 Cor 12:8-10, required the laying on of the apostle's hands. The Samarians were baptized believers no...

Wonderful!

Exactly! Receiving the Spirit is not the same as receiving the gifts manifested by the Spirit once it's in you. But furthermore, that was only in biblical times since the gifts, or manifestations of the Spirit, became available through the laying on of the apostle's hands, and they are long dead.

Goodbye

'Tou' in Greek is generally 'the' or 'of the'. Doesn't change anything. What's your point and what is it you disagree with and are trying to prove or disprove? You've not stated what you believe and why with supporting scriptures. If you want to argue for the sake of arguing, go do so with...

True! But the problem is many people wrongly assume this passage is stating that this means the various gifts of the Spirit and by your baptism you also should automatically receive gifts. That's the difference in singular and plural, gift and gifts. Acts 2 :38 has nothing you do with bestowing...

The Holy Spirit and Holy Ghost are one in the same and interchangeable which is why I stuck them together just in case the reader more commonly referred to one vs the other. Moot point. And the Greek interlinear in Acts 2:38 says "the gift of the Holy Spirit". The gift of the Holy Spirit...
