Personally, that is my experience. I was baptized 3 times, then 4 years later I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Wow! What a change, and I also received most of the gifts of the Spirit. Through them I heard God say to me, "Now be baptized in water," so I did. I guess the other 3 didn't...

I'm not attacking the core issues of the RCC that are scriptural. But Jesus hates what you did to His mother. Therefore, so do I

I was astonished that he meant not just our past sins, but also sins we continue to commit. Jesus came to take away our sin nature we inherited from Adam. The Holy Spirit then gives us the same nature that Christ had. That is our spirit becoming born again - from Adam to Christ.

Sorry, I went back and reread your post. You are right, you meant Holy Spirit. Bottom line. Jesus came to take away our sin nature we inherited from Adam. The Holy Spirit then gives us the same nature that Christ had. That is our spirit/mind becoming born again - from Adam to Christ.

He was just referring to your order of events. You said we receive the Spirit after being water baptized. Then he referred you to Cornelius. And now you are acknowledging that he received the Holy Spirit, and then was baptized in water. I say we cannot make formulas. God doesn't fit in our...

I agree. There are many calling themselves Christians, that have not completely opened the door to Jesus and surrendered their whole lives to Him. As far as the Holy Spirit, He is still on the outside drawing them to open the door. We are not truly Christians until the Spirit of Christ lives on...

His Son was the Word and the Word was omnipresent. That part of Jesus is the glory He had before becoming flesh. Now I'm going to reprint that portion of my post that you said you "disagree, because I do not see that idea in the scriptures." Please highlight in red what other portions you don't...

And how does that effect us?

I really don't think you know what Jesus means by "Spirit." We MUST be born of the HOLY SPIRIT. We must be born of the HOLY Spirit. Acts of the Apostles 1:8, Romans 8:9; 1 John 3:9; 1 John 5:18

Here is the test you quoted. Note the red. 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb, and be...

I'm not Catholic, so you won't accept my interpretation, so what does the RCC say is the reason?

They renamed the goddess Venus to Mary, and Venus' child, Cupid, to Jesus to "Christianize" the pagans beliefs in a goddess and child. Jesus called this abomination of a goddess, Jezebel. Would Jesus call His own mother, Jezebel. You have turned Mary into a GODDESS. Immaculate Conception...

At least you get a reply from him; he must have me on ignore.

You know that Jesus set up His Church, but you don't seem to know WHY He came. What is it? The scriptures that you say only the pope can interpret already clearly says why He came.

The only answer you will accept is the pope - starting with Peter. Right? Because that is what the RCC teaches, all based on the ROCK. But the Rock is not a person, but what the Spirit revealed to Peter. The Rock is "Thou are the Christ, the Son of the Living God." Its not Peter's church, it is...

Okay, He did. That proves you study. So then read the scriptures of #7 and tell me that the doctrine of Jesus paying for our future sins is part of that payment?

The Holy Spirit is already my teacher. I don't need man's theories.

I am giving you scriptures that you possibly have never heard of before. Study for yourself, because what you are saying is not in the Bible. The Bible has to be our foundation. Memorize these and compare them with what your are hearing from the pulpit. What you are giving me is a huge...

You've got one thing right for sure. SIN is the reason why Jesus died for us. But I know of no scripture that says that Jesus paid for our sins. Maybe you can point me in the right direction? That seems to mean that the sins we continue to commit are already paid for. I hope that is not what...

I'm not referring to God or Jesus, but about the fallen angels that you say are not in a pit in chains, but above ground in our atmosphere, meaning roaming freely. Is that what you meant?
