    Is the story of Noah literal?

    If you're a believer, then you must accept it. Christ's lineage is traced back to Noah

    Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them part 4-understanding Acts 9:10-19

    Many times, people erroneously cite Acts 9, and specifically the words of Ananias to Saul in verse 17, as justification that Ananias, who was not an apostle, also possessed the ability to bring about the manifestation of the Holy Spirit/Ghost, the falling of or being filled with the...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Sorry, I don't agree that untruth is OK. Goodbye. You'll hear no more from me.

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    You've again said a bunch of nothing and didn't address the issue nor my response which questioned your logic and understanding or lack therof, of 1 Cor. And I'm certainly NOT catholic. I'm Christian.

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    You conveniently forgot to list the translations that say 'in' that do agree with the Greek. And you're not understanding the 1 Cor passage you quoted or maybe you didn't read 1 Cor beyond that part. Read a bit further to 1 Cor 3:6. Paul planted and Apollos watered. Paul was the orator.

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Yes, I'm sure that IN TIME, they, all his disciples, were eventually baptized in his name but not until his death. Makes no sense and contrary to scripture to say or suggest otherwise. Edit: One other very important thing you're overlooking is, at that very early point in the scriptures, Jesus...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    They baptized in no ones name as did John; it was the baptism of repentance for the remission of sin. And anyone baptized prior to Jesus's death had to be re-baptized as the Ephesians. The scriptures tell you why. It's not just for the remission of sin, but also to receive the Holy Ghost and...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    You're both a bit lacking in understanding. Nobody was born again while Jesus was alive. Not possible. No one could be baptized into Christ nor his death to be raised like him as Romans 6 explains, until he was dead. The Ephesians had to be re-baptized since they were baptized unto John's...

    Where did the holiday Christmas come from?

    There are no religious holidays in the NT nor days to be revered other than the first day of the week, the Lord's Day, wherein the disciples gathered together as the church, to break bread in remembrance of the Lord. The days today that are commonly recognized as religious holidays have been...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    You've said a lot to say not much at all that addresses the plain and simple difference in the Greek interlinear and the kjv which I use and like but am also aware of it's minor flaws, i.e., using the word Easter instead of passover, pascha in Greek, in Acts 12:4. You can't use the kjv to...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    That makes no sense because all the NT is Greek and translated therefrom. Check our other translations such as the ESV for example which got it right. The ESV is in English by the way if you're hung up on that for who knows why.

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Just FYI, it was still the baptism of John that was practiced while Jesus was alive, and not the baptism into Christ because Jesus had not yet died, so no one could be baptized into Christ or into his death as Romans 6 explains. So like the Ephesians in Acts 19, anyone baptized unto John's...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Just one quick comment. The scripture you quoted above 1 Cor 12:13 "For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit." Read this same scripture in the original Greek. It's not "by"...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    You're both wrong no matter how well intended. Baptism is not an affirmation to the church. That's nonsense. That's not why people were baptized. And baptism is 100% required for salvation. What did the Ethiopian eunuch do when he was converted in Acts 8 and what was the verbal exchange...

    Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them part 2

    It's what the scriptures say. 1 Cor 14:22 22Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.

    Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them

    You said that, I didn't. Don't change the subject. Were you a member of the Cor congregation 2000 yrs ago? If not, the letter wasn't addressed to you. An imbecile can understand that.

    Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them

    And only a fool would take them out of context by not recognizing they weren't written to us. They are addressed to them not us.
