    Contradiction Or Paradox?

    Jesus was given a Greek name by the angel.

    How does one "receive" Jesus and His subsequent power?

    You're welcome. All I am really advocating is adherence to Acts 2:38 as the lone prescription to sinners by Peter in verse 37. All the new, fancy doctors are giving out the wrong prescriptions.

    Contradiction Or Paradox?

    The Greek word for Jesus is Iesous. It is much closer for English speaker to say Jesus, than Yeshua etc. Iesous sounds nothing like Yeshua.

    How does one "receive" Jesus and His subsequent power?

    Yes. Water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ is part of the conversion process. It is our burial of the old man. We are buried WITH Christ through baptism. We cannot skip this process, no more than the O.T. priest could skip washing at the laver. The results are equally terrible.

    How does one "receive" Jesus and His subsequent power?

    You went straight from the gospels to the epistles to the saved saints and illegally used their confirmation letters. You officially skipped Acts. Why?

    Contradiction Or Paradox?

    The root reason there is no unity of the faith is folks prefer commentary over sole scriptura.

    How does one "receive" Jesus and His subsequent power?

    It is impossible to be saved prior to having one's sins remitted per water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ as seen in Acts 2:38. The Spirit's purpose is to lead one to the remission of sins and not to remit sins. The spoken name of Jesus in the right hands is used by GOD(through a man) to...

    How does one "receive" Jesus and His subsequent power?

    Good morning. The power was in the name of Jesus Christ to save or heal folks that the Spirit filled believers properly used. When the heathen tried to use the name, it backfired on them.(Acts 19) Water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ was included in the new birth process to actually to...

    How does one "receive" Jesus and His subsequent power?

    The use of the power of the name of Jesus backfires against non Spirit filled persons.... 13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. 14 And there were...

    How does one "receive" Jesus and His subsequent power?

    The power of the use of the name of Jesus for Spirit filled believers is seen right after using it for the remission of sins in Acts 2.... Acts 3 16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong.... The power was not in the person, but in the name of Jesus used by the...

    How does one "receive" Jesus and His subsequent power?

    John 1:12 King James Version 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Was this power and official reception of Jesus in Acts 2, or some other way? 8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come...

    can you tell me all the laws of old testament and new testament

    The book of Mormon leads people towards Christ, but that does not justify it's use. This is a stepping stone process to arrive at the total truth.

    can you tell me all the laws of old testament and new testament

    Now you see what I think these days. All we need is to read the KJV to ourselves and each other without going bonkers with extra Biblical explanations. This would then create a 1st century doctrine with Acts 2 rising to the surface for everyone. We would all find ourselves in the unity of the...

    The deep danger of politicizing Christianity. It simply reveals our deep need for revival.

    I read it. It is commonly quoted in Christendom but not useful for us per the word of God. God does not honor it today. We think if we straighten up and fly right, our lives will be fixed personally or our nation will be fixed via the verse. Our lives are not "land" to be healed. This verse...

    The deep danger of politicizing Christianity. It simply reveals our deep need for revival.

    Great post, but God is promising to heal nobody's land today. That was in the O.T. to the Jews in a geographical place. The only thing God has promised for us today is the rapture, the great tribulation, the 2nd coming of Christ and the millennial reign of Christ. All of these political...

    can you tell me all the laws of old testament and new testament

    Thanks. I am saying the standard(plumbline) for all translations of foreign languages is the KJV. If someone cannot read it, they need a language translation that closest resembles it's English meanings. The modern translations are a free for all of different meanings, all competing for the...

    God's Word does ""not"" teach that baptism is essential for salvation.

    The name of Jesus Christ must be spoken over the candidate when they are baptized. The titles Father/Son/Holy Ghost are defined as Jesus Christ. Peter and the others knew that, and baptized everyone in the name of Jesus Christ per Acts. Jesus is made the everlasting Father, Jesus is the Son...

    One taken to heaven and the other left to face the Tribulation...

    So we which are alive and remain will be killed by Jesus then caught up?

    can you tell me all the laws of old testament and new testament

    I would not let others dictate what I do. I teach others via the KJV and they eventually get one to keep up.
