    Re Spirit baptism

    It's bible hub on line interlinear. And you are not understanding the Luke 24 passage you quoted. That promise was not one of a universal nature but wad made specifically to his apostles and them only which came to pass on the day of Pentecost in Acts2.

    How to be saved (born again) and join the family of God!!!

    Except that's not all. There are other scriptures that also require more than belief and confession. Belief and confession of belief was exactly what the Ethiopian eunuch did in Acts 8. But it was also necessary for him to do more. What else were the Jews told to do on the day of Pentecost in...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Paul preached Apollos baptized was the point which is why Paul made the statement in 1 cor 1:17 as he did.

    Re Spirit baptism

    The correct translation of 1 Cor 12:13 can be found by looking at the origional language in the interlinear which says "in one Spirit" not "by one Spirit" as is found in such as the kjv. en ἐν in

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    To understand what Paul said and meant in 1 Cor 1:17-18 as you posted, you must read further to 1 Cor 3:1-9, and in verse 6 it says Paul planted and Apollos watered. Paul was the orator.

    Israel Is The Church

    The church is the body of Christ and the scriptures tell who is in the body and how one becomes part of the body. Israel as a nation or people are not the body of Christ. To become part of the body you must first believe in Jesus as the Christ and then be baptized into the body which is the...

    Re Spirit baptism

    Actually, the interlinear says "in one spirit" contrary to the kjv for instance that says "by one Spirit" in 1 Cor 12:13. en ἐν in

    Re Spirit baptism

    You didn't address the question but dodged it and provided your words and wisdom based on nothing and no scriptural logic or understanding. Goodbye.

    Re Spirit baptism

    Here are the miraculous gifts (plural), those which were manifested by the laying on of the apostle's hands, not gift (singular as in Acts 2:38 which is the Holy Ghost or Spirit itself) that believers receive when baptized. Who's doing these today? You? Are you performing miracles or...

    Re Spirit baptism

    The miraculous gifts have ceased 1 Cor 13:8, so you don't have one of those listed in 1 Cor 12:8-10, nor dies anyone else, but a baptized believer has the gift (singular), the indwelling of the Holy Ghost. And no, you're not reading me correctly.

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Keep in mind too that Catholics don't really baptize but rather pour water on people.

    Re Spirit baptism

    Not exactly sure what you mean, but you must consider the context of the 1 Cor letter, who it was written to and their issues. It wasn't written to us in present day, but to them. Then look at Ephesians. The perfecting of the saints when all are in unity which was also the need for the various...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    You must read a bit further to understand clearly what Paul meant. 1 Cor 3:4-6. In verse 6 it says Paul planted and Apollos watered and God gave the increase. You must read a bit further to understand clearly what Paul meant. Read 1 Cor 3:4-6. There it says Paul planted, Apollos watered.

    Re Spirit baptism

    First of all, we receive the gift of the Holy Ghost at the time of baptism (Acts 2:38) which is not a baptism of the spirit but rather it's indwelling in us by which we are also joined to the body of Christ, the church. The gift (singular, not gifts) of the Holy Ghost is exactly that: the Holy...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Not sure what point you're trying to make. 1 Peter 3:20-1 says just the opposite of your above statement, the baptism DOES save us. Water baptism is 100% essential to salvation.

    The thief on the cross misconceptions

    Yes! That's what ONE scripture says. Ignor the rest that add more. Erase the rest of the scriptures that say something additional is required. Goodbye, you don't know what you're talking about.

    The thief on the cross misconceptions

    Scripture doesn't teach believing is all that's required, unless you choose to ignor other scriptures. These are your words and thoughts that have no biblical foundation.

    The thief on the cross misconceptions

    You've got it a bit backwards. Obedience comes first, which leads you to obey the commands afterwhich you can attain your salvation or on the case of Abraham, be counted as righteousness. Obedience is NOT evidence of salvation. "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved" (Mark 16:15)...

    The thief on the cross misconceptions

    Neither I nor the bible says obedience saves, but the bible makes it clear that obedience is necessary as was the case of the aforementioned Abraham as relates to his faith.
