    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    What knowledge is being referred to. Back then it was knowledge they didn't have such as we do today with the written word.

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    The gifts have all ceased as 1 cor 13:8 says they would. They were needed then for a variety of reasons, but not now. Yes, none of those gifts, or manifestations of the Spirit, are present today.

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    You obviously didn't read the text carefully. Start with the below Luke and continue to Acts 1 also below. Luke 24 starting @ verse 33 33And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the ELEVEN gathered together, and them that were with them...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    You have it wrong. Only the 11, not the 120 spoke in other tongues. This was part of the power from on high promised to the 11 by the Lord as recorded in Luke 24:49. Read the entire text of Luke and read carefully Acts 2 and it's clear that it's just the 11. And what's your point about the Lord...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    It was necessary as stated and as recorded. The 3000 were added as recorded in Acts 2, so, that's still part of the aforementioned Acts 2 scenario. No hands of the apostles was laid on anyone and only the apostles spike with other tongues. No record of the number beyond the 3000 either which...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Um Um, yes it is and I know exactly what the Greek word baptizo means; dip, plunge, immerse. In what kool-aid, salsa, ??? Where did John the Baptist baptize? The Jordan River, and that was the precedent set as I mentioned that you conveniently overlooked. Why would anyone think it means...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    2 different issues entirely. Acts 10 AND Acts 2 were extremely unique and for very specific reasons. In both cases the Holy Ghost fell unilaterally on the apostles in Acts 2 and on the Gentiles in Acts 10. What was Unique and special requiring the Holy Ghost to fall in such a manner? What did...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    What is "save"? What does the word mean? Saved from what? Acts2:38-47 is very clear. Upon belief such as the Jews had come to on the day of Pentecost, 1. They repented 2. Were baptized for the remission of sins 3. Received the gift of the Holy Ghost thereby 4. We're added to the body of...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    The answer is simple and found below in Acts 8. The apostles prayed that they MIGHT (not would) receive the Holy Ghost and then laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Ghost.So it required the laying on of the apostle's hands that the MANIFISTATION of the Spirit might happen, the...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Baptism IS water baptism unless otherwise specifically stated starting with the precedent established by John's baptism, so the mere mention of baptism IS water immersion.

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Not really helping anyone since your understanding of John's words is lacking. You must understand who John's audience was and must read further in Luke 3 and Matt 3 to further interpret Acts 2 correctly. It was the apostles who were baptized with the Holy Ghost which references back to the...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    You continue to be wrong and not understanding scripture. I'm not boasting of my works! Where did you get that from??? Cite the scripture(s) on the so called HS baptizing us. The scripture, if it's the one I think you're referring to is, Romans 6:3-6 below which is clearly referring to water...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    1st of all, it's a parable nor does it mean he was saved. Jesus was alive. The requirement for baptism as part of the salvation process didn't come into being until after his death at which point the new testament began. Spirit baptism (not sure what you mean by that term) doesn't replace water...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Tax collector: Please cite the scripture. Read the account of the conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8 and read Romans 10:9. Confession of belief is prior to being saved not after, so, i don't know what you did nor why, but it wasn't scriptural nor of any value.

    Nope I clarified it by my posting.

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Not following your logic in quoting this scripture as relates to the subject matter and your previous. Being created "in Christ" (meaning you've already been saved and have been baptized into the body of Christ), for good works is different than so-called "works" as others here reference the...
