Just a side note; I see you're very near by. I also live in Michigan, Sterling Heights. I guess we're neighbors!

If I'm not mistaken, the scriptures don't say. BUT, my guess is it's no different than the eleven apostles in Acts 2 on which the Holy Ghost FELL on unilaterally as promised them by the Lord in Luke 24:49, the power from on high, after which they spoke in tongues and the Jews were converted...

You've not read or studied this carefully enough. Read the account in Acts 9 and ALSO, Paul's (Saul) recount of the account in Acts 22. Pay attention to verses 12 and 17 in Acts 9. Verse 12 says "that he may receive his sight" which are the words that God spoke to Ananias starting at verse 11...

Because they're stupid. Don't be mislead by the lable "bible scholars"; it means nothing. Do your own study of God's word, research, and draw your own conclusions. Trust God not so-called "bible scholars".

You make no sense. Goodbye

Believe what you like. But obedience is required. It's not the water it's obedience, which baptism is. Read my response to another party here just posted.

It's really simple. If you believe, you'll take action and follow through by doing something about it and doing what God, through his word, tells you go do. If he says be baptized, that's what you do. If he says confess your belief with your mouth as the Ethiopian eunuch did, then that's what...

Taken from above verse 22 22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: You think obedience is not required? Think again. Mk 16:15-16 15And he said unto them, Go ye...

Goodbye. Believe whatever unscriptural nonsense you like.

Unfortunately, what you've described is contrary to God's word which is our only guide, but, believe what you like and trust in your own illogical logic. Proverbs 14:12-16 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, But the end thereof are the ways of death.

Yes, a act of God but one that requires our doing something first by being obedient. 1. Belief and faith 2. Confession with the mouth per Rom 10:9 as did the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8 3. Repentance as did the Jews in Acts 2:38 4. Baptism (immersion in water) for the remission of sins, also per...

It required the laying on of the hands of an apostle, which is why Peter and John were sent. They laid their hands on them enabling the manifestation of the Spirit. Read Acts 8:16-18. This is the falling of the Holy Ghost, its manifistasltion, not the indwelling of the Holy Ghost which everyone...

Is "his" gospel a different one and not the gospel of Christ? Is there more than one gospel message that conflicts with 'others' in the bible? Before you answer, let me answer for you: NO! There are not conflicting gospels.

Just read the words of the scripture. It's history. Jesus was speaking directly and emphatically to THEM! Read the historical account. Because he said these things to THEM, what makes you think it has the same direct application to you? It doesn't. You were not directly taught anything by the...

Two anomalies in the falling of the Holy Ghost One in Acts 2 and the other in Acts 10. In both instances, it fell unilaterally without the laying on of the apostle's hands and in both cases it did so first a reason, it the norm. In Acts 10, it fell on the Gentiles as a sign. They still were...

There is no gospel of Paul. There is one gospel preached and taught by all biblical characters and it's the gospel of Christ, and they all harmonize.

It all happens at the same time. Read Acts 2:38-47. They, believed, were told to repent and be baptized for the remission of sins, upon which they would receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, and were added to the body of Christ by the which is the church per verse 47. You aren't a Christian by...

Who was Jesus speaking to as recorded in the John scripture you cited? It was his apostles, not you, not me, not us today. Has the Spirit taught you all things and brought them into remembrance? YOU (nor I or anyone else) are not the YOU that is recorded in this scripture; it's his apostles. Go...

My only suggestion would be, let the scriptures be your guide, and not your gut.

No problem, believe what you like.
