Acts 2:38 is not someone's opinion, but the universal command of what to do to be saved by the only man given the keys to the kingdom. I am looking at it through the eyes of Peter, as I think of what he would tell me if I was a repentant sinner. Then, I just tell sinners what Peter would have...

The Holy Ghost does not remit sinners' sins. It leads them to water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of their sins. The Holy Ghost NEVER vindicated a sinner in history, nor will it ever in the future. It was sent to lead and guide into the truth(Acts 2:38,.... then etc)...

That is not Apostolic, 1st century preaching to sinners. They had a universal command of Acts 2:38 to even qualify for more teaching. If they did not obey it, they were sent packing. The only thing God would have told sinners is what He told Cornelius.... to get someone named Peter to get him...

Amen. But the Holy Ghost will lead a person to water, but cant make them get baptized(drink).;)

If one is not preaching Acts 2:38 to sinners then they are against it in my opinion. They need to hear the immediate solution to their dilemma, not get a scriptural massage. They find no peace until they obtain remission of their sins and a clean conscience before almighty God. We need to...

Excellent post!

Actually, the devil has blinded the minds of those that refuse to obey Acts 2:38. However, this is a voluntary blindness. They must go through hell to obey it after being blinded, because the taskmaster will not let them go easily.

Acts 2:38 is a "sugar stick"? Was that Peter's "sugar stick" at Pentecost? Can't you see what ALL INCLUSIVE, the anti-Acts 2:38 crowd has done to you?

I don't preach the gifts of the Spirit to sinners. I teach it to saints that have the Holy Ghost and remission of sins via Acts 2:38.

Praise God for this Acts 2:38 truth.

So, the Jews ordered the Roman government to crucify Jesus? They ordered the Roman soldiers, or were these Jewish soldiers that took over?

My suggestion is to preach to sinners exactly what Peter preached to sinners. That is being led of the Holy Ghost. I had a sinner couple talking to me about being under spiritual attack yesterday, but instead of going to see them and appeasing them in their situation, I told them they must...

I appreciate your insight, but do you preach Acts 2:38 to sinners still?

Like Rome is not responsible for the Christian persecutions either, beginning with Peter in the prison? Were the Jews commanding Rome what to do per the crucifixion? Or, was it a political thing for Pilate to avoid a confrontation??

Yes, Jesus has been given all of his Father's power.

It was a combo. The Romans were the actual executioners but the Jews were the prosecutors, judge and jury. They all had their hands in it.

Shall I leave Acts 2:38 behind and stop insisting sinners and misinformed believers adhere to it? Or, was that a "saint to saint" passage that was comprised of folks whom already obeyed Acts 2:38?

What does that have to do with baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins(Acts 2:38)?

Jesus was talking about Mary only?

I did not infer you thought Acts 2:38 was childish, but I inferred that you were saying we need to put away "childish" things or, "less mature" things as per Acts 2:38. Am I correct?
