    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    You can disagree all you want but it won't change what the scriptures clearly say Mk16:15-16 15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 1Peter 3:21...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    If you delay baptism when one says he believes, then you may in fact committing the person to eternal death rather than eternal life. If the person would die while they are waiting for YOU to decide if they are ready to be baptized, that person is LOST, not saved. There is no record of anyone...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    The utube footage showed a water baptism and not a baptism of the Holy Spirit. Also, there is no corraborating accounts in scripture that this is that which you indicated ot thought it to be. Upon baptism, we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, but are not baptized by it. It dwells in us at...

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    Except Paul was further directed and told what he still had to do beyond the encounter with the Lord.

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    That's NOT what the story says at all. He was preached Christ Jesus, he believed and verbally confessed his belief, he asked about baptism since they were near a body of water, so, one can only conclude that part of the gospel Philip preached included the subject of baptism and it's absolute...

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    Israel was 1st to be brought into the fold, followed by the Gentiles. There are not two sets of standards and requirements. The jews on the day of Pentecost, were told how sins are removed which is echoed throughout the NT scriptures. Is there sone other method for us to have sins removed, or...

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    The dispensation of the eunuch is the same as ours: after the death of Christ. And was the eunuch a Jew that Philip's words and instructions applied to him and not to us?

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    No, because there is more information contained elsewhere that can't be ignored. No, because there is other information contained elsewhere in the NT scriptures that can't be ignored, that supplements and clarifies the 4 gospels which were a record of events of Christ's life, work, etc...

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    Once again it's not me saying anything but what the bible is saying. And what you have to believe is the gospel. Belief that Jesus is the Christ and thru him and him only can you have everlasting life as he is tge propitiation for sins and by whom your sins can be forgiven by 1. belief and faith...

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    I'm not saying that, the bible is. I'm simply reiterating what God's word clearly says. In Jesus own words below for instance. Ir can't get any simpler or clearer. Mk 16:15-16 15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is...

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    Without a doubt baptism is an absolute requirement of salvation. Numerous scriptures bear that fact out.

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    You need to only look at 2 conversions in the book of Acts to get the complete context of requirements which embodies the entirety of the gospel message: the conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8, and the conversion of the Jews on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2. In both instances they...

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    There is only one gospel of salvation and can't be any more or less. The gospel IS the gospel which is (or should be but unfortunatelyi isn't) the same today as it was back then that the apostles universally preached.

    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    Hate is not doctrine. It can be the result of doctrine either true or false, but it is not necessarily the doctrine. If the doctrine is not made public, who is it harming? It's not until it's made known that or becomes potentially harmful or promoting hatred, overtly or covertly. Goodbye. This...

    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    That's not quite what you said or how you phrased it. And true doctrine will also or could also cause hatred, since some of those hearing the true doctrine may hate the one propagating it. Happened to Jesus. He also warned of such hatred as coming from those of your own household.

    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    I really don't care what you believe; belueve whst you like. And God uses his people to do his work. 1 Tim 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: it's up to God's people to do his work...

    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    I would say, speak for yourself, but don't assume others think as you do. And, the spirit of Christ won't be residing in you if you believed and followed a false doctrine wherein it didn't lead you ti your salvation in the first place. Wake up!

    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    In search of truth should be the question. Bad or false doctrine doesn't necessarily mean you hate those who propagate it. That's why I participate on these forums; to correct those or convince those by scripture, of their false narrative or doctrine. If false doctrine leads to loss of souls...
