Romans 6 says water baptism is a burial with Christ unto his death. If the Holy Ghost makes someone alive in Christ then baptism for the remission of sins is a "buried alive" process. That is a trippy doctrine to have.

They were buried alive?

I was quoting chapter 8.

Paul said the Law was still active. That is a fact. The Law is why we physically die. The spirit man is saved. The carnal man never was, nor will be.

45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues,....

The Holy Ghost is God inside Jesus....inside us. God and Jesus are Holy, and Spirit.

...an admission that you are an Acts skipper.

No, Romans 7 is during Paul's life in Christ...."oh wretched man that I am...." present tense. etc. Paul was simply saying we have inner opposition. The human spirit that is connected to Christ is saved from death but the carnal man is not. Romans 7 details this..... 14 For we know that the...

Acts 2 is trustworthy history.

Jesus said go to Jerusalem to receive power in chapter 1. They go to Jerusalem and the power is endued from on high in chapter 2. It does not take a PHD to figure that out.

Paul in Romans 7 struggled with his old man. I wonder what Mr. McArthur had that Paul did not?

Neverthelesswhat?

Actually, receiving Jesus is no less than having this happen to you... 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Anything less than this is not the Acts way to receive Jesus. You don't get filled with Jesus...

I also found that the key to be free from the desire to sin is to pray through in the Spirit and in tongues. It dominates me and controls me when I do that. The only hard part for me is subjecting my carnal man to prayer.

Are these Jews Hebrew speaking Jews?... 6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak...

I think the quest for life should be to duplicate the doctrine and experience that we see in the church of Acts. This is our plumbline and standard to use to know if we are in the original church. Anything short of that is a bummer for me.

I suppose you tink the Jews thought the ancient Hebrew language was holy and kept it as their dominant language so the business world would pass them by? Have Jews in all nations stuck to ancient Hebrew as their first language? Did these Jews speak Hebrew as their first language too?.... 6...

No, it would mean their parents intermarried with Greeks or Romans. The Jews intermarried commonly with Gentiles as we see in Samaria etc. This segregation you think of would have been national suicide in the Roman economy. They all spoke Greek and even used Roman currency.

The Jews were under Greco/Roman domination for generations. They spoke Greek as the primary language. Same as those that come to America do with English.

You are welcome. Your assignment for today is to quote Acts 2:37-38 ten times....:) 37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized...
