Not a condition per se but an absolute necessity as a demonstration of your faith which leads to salvation. The conditions are. 1. Belief which encompasses faith 2. Confession of belief (Rom 10:9) 3. Repentance (Acts 2:38) 4. Baptism (Acts 2:38) Belief and faith will create the desire and will...

We don't need the gifts at all, we have the bible. The only so called gift today that people claim to have and cling to as "proof" is tongues, which is a total joke.

Not sure exactly what you mean, but to clarify my point a bit, it's the miraculous manifestation of the Spirit, the gifts listed in 1 Cor 12:8-10, that have ended and were made manifest in biblical times by the laying on of the apostle's hands. The only 2 instances recorded in scripture where...

I can't be taught false doctrine. I ain't that dumb

I don't waste time reading nonsense. Anyone can easily follow the biblical plan of salvation. I've said this before and here once again, man makes something easy and simple, difficult. It was clear enough for the very simple people in biblical times to understand, so why has it gotten so...

Don't know what your point is, and yes, coC doctrine is consistent with scripture and poses no dilemma. If you believe, you will also have faith that Jesus is who he says he is and can save your soul by your confession of belief, followed by your obedience which also includes repentance and...

Quoting Acts 2 was in reference to the Jews on the day of Pentecost and their conversion. Simon was saved. He believed and was immersed in water into Christ for the remission of sins and doing so, the Lord added him to the church (Acts 2:47) as does he all who do the same no different than I...

The gifts ended when they could not longer be passed on by the apostles thru the laying on of their hands. None of the gifts are needed today unlike in biblical times

God speaks to us through his written word

All the gifts of the Spirit, the miraculous manifestations of the Spirit, have ceased.

There is no long-term evidence of anyone actually repenting over time recoreded in the bible. It's immediate sorrow only that is evident and recoreded. Long term, true change, who knows in any individual case recorded in scripture; and even today in our own lives, we all weave in-and-out...

No one has conversations with God

And you're reading more into the text than is there and making erroneous assumptions and judgements. How about the Jews that crucified Christ? Wasn't that act worse than that of Simon the sorcerer? Were they not saved? The text there says 3000 were added to the body of Christ, or don't you...

Acts 2:38 says repent. I don't follow you. Repentance is part of the salvation process. 1. Belief 2. Confession of belief as the Ethiopian eunuch did as per Rom 10:9 3. Repent per Acts 2:38 4. Baptism per Acts 2:38 That's the process

Read further. He was told to repent and he did Acts 8:22-24 22Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. 23For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. 24Then answered Simon, and...

Everyone baptized into Christ receives the Holy Spirit at the time of baptism according to scripture. There's no delay or time lag. Acts 2:38 38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the...

It's Simon the sorcerer in Acts 8. You haven't learned much in 49yrs

The clear words of the bible is your rebuttal. I wasted time with you before and won't do it again

Go pedal your foolish unknowledgable nonsense to someone else that might be foolish and gullible enough to believe it. Goodbye
