How does one "receive" Jesus and His subsequent power?

[GRACE ambassador]

Scripture says...

Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.


The problem is they haven't "put on Christ" because they are baptized into "Father, Son, Holy Ghost"

AND, have not been buried with him into his death(due to sprinkling and not immersion)...

Romans 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
[4] Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
[5] For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

Those that have not been baptized have not put on Christ and are wearing different garments....


11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

14 For many are called, but few are chosen.


Yep, don't skip Acts 2:38, folks.

Yes, water is Very Confusing, But Since "God Is not the author of Confusion":

Today's Dispensation Of GRACE Only Has ONE Baptism to "put On Christ."
Has NOTHING to do with water Confusion!:

Actually, Acts skippers are the author of confusion in modern Christendom.

They say, "he that believeth and is NOT baptized shall be saved".

 

[theefaith]

John 1:12
King James Version

12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:


Was this power and official reception of Jesus in Acts 2, or some other way?


8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.


Does this debunk the modernists that say "I receive Jesus" without receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost per the Acts 2 experience?

Is there some new, modern way to receive Christ as one's personal savior and skip Acts?

Power to receive him is the Holy Ghost power as promised per Acts 1, in which the Holy Ghost leads folks to water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of their sins.

the name of the son is not the point, the proper form of Christ baptism is!

 

[Truther]

the name of the son is not the point, the proper form of Christ baptism is!

The name of the son is the main point of the Bible.

If you can't say the son's name, you better stick to politics and leave the Bible to honest folks.

his name being Jesus does not change the form of Christian baptism and life

even the sign of the cross is in the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit!

is the title of Christ or messiah or anointed ok or does it need be the name of the son?

do you have to pray in the name of Jesus
Is not the ending of a prayer thru Christ our Lord amen! Ok with you?

Never skipped it, but "kept it In God's Proper Context" to avoid all the
traditional church Confusion (13 Confusing water Traditions!)! You do realize,
of course, that is AS MANY as the "baptisms found In the 13 Bible baptisms."
We are always being Enlightened that "context is king," so, hey, why not - it
is one of our Bible study Rules, # 3, anyway! So, here it is - in summary:

God's Context Of Prophecy/Law for ISRAEL:

►►► The Twelve Were Sent to {water} baptize! ◄◄◄

The TWO Main (of 12) baptismS =

A) water, For remission of sins/induction into Israeli "priesthood!":
(Matthew_3:5-6; Mark 1:4; Luke_3:3; John_1:31, 3:5; Especially Luke 7:29-30;
Acts_10:37; Matthew_28:19; Mark_16:16; ► Acts_2:38,[NOT skipped!] ◄ 22:16;
Ezekiel_36:25)

+
B) WITH The Holy Spirit, Poured Out By CHRIST,
for power, signs And wonders!
(Isaiah_44:3; Matthew_3:11; Mark_1:8, 16:17-18;
Luke_24:49; Acts_2:17-18, 38, 8:15-17, 11:16)

IF water is for you, then WHY "do you SKIP" power, signs, and wonders?
Prophecy/Law

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15) From “Things That DIFFER!” {online}:

God's Other Context Of:

Mystery/GRACE! = NO water, BUT Spirit Only! According
To our "apostle to the Gentiles" for The Body Of CHRIST:

►►► (ONE apostle) Paul Was Not Sent to {water} baptize! Why Not?: ◄◄◄

Today: Only ONE Baptism = "BY" The ONE Spirit = God's OPERATION
Spiritually Identifying members In (The ONE Body Of) CHRIST!!
(Ephesians 4:5; Colossians_2:12; Galatians_3:27;
Romans_6:3-4; ►►► 1 Corinthians 12:13 ◄◄◄)

Simply leaving "each set of verses" In God's Context, Where
HE Placed Them! Amen?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conclusion: God Has "Only ONE" Baptism Today? = ONE!

Or, TWO? (Bad math Confusion?)

Christ sent Paul not to baptize, although he had others to administer the ordinance. The same thing was true with Jesus...

John 4:1-2 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)


That same Paul indeed teaches the importance of water baptism, he writes...

Rom 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
[4] Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
[5] For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
[6] Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.


I ask you to please be diligent to study your Bible. In doing so, you may discover baptism is for the remission of sins...

Acts 2:38 Then 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 gift of the Holy Ghost.

The sign of the cross is another made up relic of the RCC.

The name of Jesus is the name of the son per Matt 28:19.

The RCC invented the idea that the son's name is son.

They are the founders of the disobedient.

Whatsoever you do in word or deed must be done in the name of Jesus, not a silent sign or title of Jesus.

The RCC is diabolical, anti-Jesus name.

The Acts skipper just did away with Mark 16:16 and Acts 2:38 in this post, pitting verse against verse.

A real teacher would not tell sinners to read the epistles and find "salvation" as the original recipients of the epistles already qualified themselves to read them via obeying Acts 2:38.

Acts skippers extrordinaire at work, fresh out of seminary.

They teach to pray to mary and dead saints, which is the general term for "necromancy" referring to any and all divination practices that involve the spirits of people who have passed on.

Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
[23] And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

This may be a "game" to you, but salvation for everyone else. Paul, when he went to Ephesus twenty-one years after Pentecost. There he found some of John’s disciples, and said unto them, “Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John’s baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.” (Acts 19:1-5)

Paul was not with the apostles when Jesus gave his final instructions to them in Matthew 28:19 and in Luke 24:47, yet we find Paul baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. From whom did he receive this? Paul’s gospel is not a tradition from the other apostles, but it is a revelation. “For I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it’ but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.” (Galatians 1:11)

You have not yet provided scripture of ANYONE baptized using Matt 28:19 "Father, Son, Holy Ghost"
