Men do the dividing, HE is not a respecter of persons.

HE LOVES US ALL THE SAME and is NOT the author of confusion.

There is ONE GOD and ONE gospel.

Have YOU received the Holy Ghost since you have believed????

Notice I didn't ask you what your skin color is, or what country your from!! IT DOES NOT MATTER TO HIM only to you.
Well, it appears that you're not even reading the texts and rightly dividing the word of truth, so it is what it is. I never said anything about God being a respecter of persons. You made that up out of thin air, which is nothing but a straw man argument. Why not actually deal with what was said rather than to cast all those red herrings around as decoys?

Please address what I actually said, thus dealing honestly with the statements made. This dishonest dealing you're peddling isn't impressive in the least.

I said baptized WITH the Spirit. According to Matthew 3:11, what baptisms are spoken of and who performs them?
JESUS himself is the one who fills us.


Acts 2:3-4
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

There is a difference in being indwelt with the Spirit, being baptized with the Spirit, and being filled with the Spirit.

Was Paul baptized in JESUS name?
Did Paul received the Holy Ghost and speak in tongues?
Did Paul preach on baptism?
Did Paul preach on the gifts of the Holy Ghost?
Yes, and he never taught that WB was necessary for salvation.
Yes, and he taught that it is much better to prophecy in plain language than in tongues and best to love.
Yes, and he thanked God that he baptized very few.
Yes, saying that they were for the purpose of edifying the body of Christ.

So did he say it was for show? He knows it was to get rid of his sins and he obeyed and got baptized. Why do you think he would tell others different?

BUT he did so HAVE YOU received the Holy Ghost since you have believed?

His team did the bapitizing just like JESUS he never baptized but his team did.

AMEN, in prayer and in church.

So do you think he lived one life and preached a different one?

Ok, just back all that up with scripture please.
Indwelling is what occurs when the Spirit places one into the body of Christ...1 Corinthians 12:13. It is a judicial placement and is nonexperiential.

The baptism with the Spirit is what Matthew 3:11 says Jesus will do. It is referred to as the promise of the Father in Luke 24:49 and Acts 1:4-5. This is also what was prophesied in Joel 2 and confirmed by Peter in Acts 2. It is very experiential and noticeable to all but misidentified by some the day of Pentecost. Its purpose is not judicial, but to seal and endue with power, and you find this occurring throughout the book of Acts.

Being filled with the Spirit is something all believers are commanded to do...Ephesians 5:18. It is contrasted with being filled with wine or being under the influence of it. Hence, being filled with the Spirit is to be under His control.
