But that happened. As i stated before starting with John, to Jesus promise to the 11 (them not us) in Luke 24:49, which was fulfilled in Acts 2 upon the 11 apostles upon which the Holy Ghost fell and they spoke in other tongues. That power from on high (Luke 24:49) bestowed upon THEM, enabled...

Some translations do get it right though. I like the kjv, but I don't rely solely on it. How'd the kjv get Easter so wrong? Don't know, but they did. It ain't Easter as only the kjv translates pascha (passover) as. How? Bias. And God doesn't do any baptizing, which "by the Spirit" infers. Man...

There are no conflicts. All are right and all are necessary. It's man that goes out of his way to try to make the scriptures agree with man's preconceived notions, thus confusing things, and hence you have division. We're on the same page.

Yes, Ephesians is right. ONE Baptism. And in one Spirit, per the original Greek, is different than by one Spirit. We're baptized INto Christ and are united with him thereby. There is no other way to become part of the body of Christ other than by baptism into it.

I'll let the scriptures do the teaching and speaking. Follow them closely as I've stated as regarding the baptism of the Holy Ghost, from John the Baptist, to Jesus in in Luke 24:49, to Acts 2.

Here's 1 Peter 3:21 (I'll let the scripture speak for itself) 21The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: Yes, belief is first as you cited...

So, Ephesians is wrong? And the correct translation is "in one Spirit", not "by one Spirit", according to the original Greek.

How is one baptized with the Holy Spirit according to scripture? What is the process? Where are the biblical examples and where does it say what we must to to be "baptized with the Holy Spirit"? Does it just happen all of a sudden for no reason and when? Does it somehow magically happen to...

Bassackwards.

I have none. I simply follow the words, ALL OF THEM, to where they ALL, lead and believe accordingly, letting the word lead me in lieu of trying to mold the bible around my preconceived beliefs. Goodbye

It most certainly is water which is why it was compared with the flood incident. Pretty clear. And you're not at all understanding the baptism of the Holy Ghost you mentioned. That happened (happened then, not now) and started with the 11 apostles on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2, as foretold...

Great! You've clarified what you believe, which is an illogical conclusion scripturally IMO, but that's your problem.

You've basically agreed inadvertently. No one says belief doesn't preceed baptism. Its obvious that it does and must; so that simply says belief is part of the equation. Belief 1st and foremost. And regardless what 1st Peter continues to say, which is simply the logic, but the logic doesn't...

Strange answer which is more like a non-answer. What exactly do you think then, since you agreed they are all true, which they are? That's exactly the point. Do you accept all as necessary, or pick your favorite one and adhere to it only?

The bible says a lot of things but you've chosen those things that you prefer, ignoring the rest. Doing so pits scripture against scripture. Who did the Ethiopian eunuch publicly demonstrate his faith to when he was baptized in the middle of nowhere by Philip in Acts 8? That's a nonsensical...

Eph 4:5 "One Lord, one faith, one baptism" NOT TWO!

No, not at all. You can't answer the question so you're diverting the issue. My point was simple. You can't selectively choose which words are to be believed verbatim versus those that are symbols, which is what you're doing. There is no way to know what the true meaning is on Rev.

The beast, the 2 witnesses, the star and wormwood, the woman and dragon, the beast with 7 heads and 10 horns and 10 crowns, 666, unclean spirits like frogs, the great whore, the woman on a scarlet colored beast, Babylon's fall, etc. Plus the temple was destroyed; will there became 3rd temple...

Well I can't dispute that or agree based on what I stated. And as stated, the whole book is laden with symbols, so, which ones mean exactly what what they say verbatim, and which ones don't? How do you pick and choose? It's subjected doing that. Do you simply agree with the ones you like that...

Salvation: A doctrinal dilemma Salvation: how is one saved according to scripture? See below. Do you just pick and choose one of the below scriptures (KJV) you like the best, accept and adopt it as your personal doctrine, and ignore the rest? Aren't they all right? Can or does scripture...
