The church at Jerusalem wasn't yet the church at Jerusalem until the Jews as that group that was addressed and received the Holy Ghost AFTER their belief, repentance, and water baptism per Acts 2:38. And ad stated, at the point of salvation is where your sins are remitted, you receive the Holy...

The body of Christ is the church

Yes. In order to have your sins forgiven or "remitted", you must be baptized, immersed In water, as the scriptures clearly teach. This is an undeniable fact of the scriptures that unfortunately many refuse to accept.

The scripture is clear. Upon water baptism you receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Not in reverse. Read further in the scripture down to it's end at verse 47. You'll also see that's the same time your sins are removed and the Lord adds you to his body which is the church. It all happens...

That's totally false and contrary to scripture. You receive the gift of the Holy Ghost upon baptism into Christ, not before. The below is very clear. 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...

That's not how. How relates to what one must do: it infers action is required. One must obey the gospel. Ref 2 Thes 1:8-9. Read the account of the conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8. He heard the word, believed it, confessed his belief, and was baptized. When you consider all...

Yeah, the book of Acts. Acts 2, the church in Jerusalem amongst the Jews and Acts 10, the church amongst the Gentiles in Caesarea.

You will find no scriptures that support that or say that. You cannot ignor Acts 2:38 or explain it away. It says what it says and is quite clear. You can believe the so-called famous evangelist if you like, but I'll believe the words of the inspired writers of the scriptures. Acts 2:38...

Goodbye

??? You make no sense

It is about ownership. Those "in Christ" are his. He paid for them by shedding his blood. That's what the scriptures clearly say. You are "in Christ" by following a process. I have no idea what you mean by stating "you are already in Christ". Yes, I am, because I was obedient to the gospel and...

The third heaven, paradise. 2 Cor 12:2 There are a couple passages that suggest it's somewhere beyond space in the northern sky. And recently, our modern astronomers discovered a vast void in the northern sky where you point a telescope and there's nothing, confirming the Job passage; It's...

The words say what they say. Being a metaphor is your opinion. Read all of 31. Also, Ezekiel 31 makes a clear connection with the garden, Eden, and Lebanon whereas the scriptures you cited do not at all.

One other thing to consider. There is a train of thought that the earth did not separate into the continents by continental plate tectonics millions of years ago as mainstream so called science suggests, but rather it was the result of the flood which would mean there was one great land mass...

Did you read Ezekiel 31? That clearly says otherwise

The Garden of Eden is in Lebanon. Read Ezekiel 31.

When you're baptized you also receive the gift of the Holy Ghost per Acts 2:38, so he being baptized had also received the Holy Ghost. Receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost doesn't mean one of the miraculous gifts of the Spirit, but simply the indwelling of the Spirit itself. The gifts were...

The correct translation is 'murder' not "kill". See the interlinear. Thou shalt not murder.
