Now i SEE your confusion!
You believe the only people who were Baptized in the Holy Spirit were the Apostles.
Guess he didnt read about the day of pentecost
nor about the House of cornelious . Something very interesting occured in that house of cornelious .
They recieved the baptism of the HOLY GHOST , spoke in tongues .
Peter also says , is there any water here that these may be baptized .
SO we see the true conversion of the soul cometh OF GOD
but we also see they DID make sure and water baptize .
The unholy harlot has taught many things contrary to the scrips .
But the lambs shall embrace ALL THINGS taught in the pure and holy words of TRUTH in that bible .
KNOWING our salvation cometh of GOD , given us in CHRIST JESUS .
KNOWING the baptism of CHRIST cometh by the SPIRIT .
but that we also do perform water baptism . Its an outward appearance .
As the old man is laid to death in CHRIST and a new man arises . But it aint the act of water baptism that saved us .
Cause if that were the case PHILLIP and the enauch
would have sounded way different .
SO lets go back in time , in the pages of the bible to what is and was recorded in acts .
There was once a man called phillip
and in time he was sent unto the desert . Was called to go speak to a man , a eunach of queen candance
who had went to jerusalem to WORSHIP and was on his way back to EYGPT .
Phillip preached JESUS unto him through the prophet ISSIAH , chapter fifty three if we know our bible .
NOW FOR THE BIG EVENT .
Notice when the eunach spotted water , HE said SEE HERE IS WATER , what does HINDER ME , HINDER ME
HINDER ME , HINDER ME , HINDER ME from being baptized .
Now notice it was not phillip who said , STOP THIS CHARIOT , I SEE WATER , THIS MAN NEEDS TO BE BAPTIZED
so HE CAN BE SAVED . NOPE .
HE , phillip answered the question of the eunach who had said WHAT DOES HINDER ME , HINDER ME
HINDER ME from being baptized in this water .
IF , IF , yeah , take heed phillip used the IF WORD .
IF you BELIEVE with all your heart , YOU MAY BE .
AKA , TO BE SAVED THE MAN HAD TO BELIEVE , EVEN in order to be water baptized HE also HAD TO BELIEVE .
And yet many today go into the tank under the guise of another jesus , under the guise
of an all inclusive lie , under the guise of the doctrines and statments of men .
And since its not the water that saved nor changed them . THEY GO DOWN as the old man
and simply come up as the OLD MAN , with the idea , OH WE SAVED NOW .
Did you know that often times most churches wont even baptize one , LEST THEY COME TO THEIR DOCTRINES .
NOT TO JESUS , but to their doctrinal statements of what they call faith . ITS A MESS david . a mess .
