Nay, who should be ignorant that Christ only can save us? Can works save us? Can Satan save us? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, thou art trying to enter Heaven at the back gate instead of the natural proper gate. (John 10:1)Jag
You keep saying that, there's no point no one is saying that works save, simply what is being said is that AFTER salvation the next step is to be baptised in the Holy Spirit, you don't just say "Yes I feel I have the Holy Spirit in me". How in the name of the Lord do you know you have it in you? How do you deceive yourself? There is Cornelius, read and STUDY carefully what the power of Jesus' Word that was being preached to him, did!"44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.----------WHY? HOW?------------------46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days." Acts 10:44Now how can you not see these steps of salvation??? This is the pure process! The christian way! I know brethren that pray for many years to be baptised in the Holy Spirit, but have not yet received. Why? God knows. Are they not saved? Of course they are! God knows the right time, I'm sure He will bestow the Spirit upon them in time, and if not I'm sure they will come along with us to meet Jesus in the air, no doubt about that!Praise God!
