It is not sliding crossnote it is simple truth; If you believe and trust in the Lord for salvation, then you believe and trust in what He said to do also.
Even our Lord Jesus points out this simple truth !!!
I have already received Christ and you false accusations are unbecoming of a Christian...
You can not change the biblical standard of Acts 2:38, Acts 3:19, and Acts 19:2-6, and to do so is twisting His word.
The Holy Spirit does do as you say but that is when you receive Him and that is not a minute one of faith unless you have automatically repented and got baptized in Christ at that minute as well.
You can call me not saved all you want because I do not have to answer to you, and you do realize stating that on somebody is improper judgment???
I answer to the Lord our God and not man, and by the Holy Spirit I know I have in me I trust He is guided me in the Truth because what He says aligns with the word.
But I think I remember you say at one time that the Holy Spirit only speaks through the word and not personally to the believer, am I right on that ???? If so I can tell you that is not right because I hear Him speaking to me even when I don't have a bible in front of me !!!

Scripture teaches that it is the Holy Spirit that is the regenerator of God. One cannot be saved until the Holy Spirit enter into the heart. This is the baptism of the Holy Spirit and has nothing to do with tongues or water.
We are saved by grace. Grace received by faith. Faith created by hearing the word of God.
I can attest that the moment I prayed for Jesus to save me He did. The Holy Spirit cleansed my heart and I became a new creation in Christ. I was born again the very moment I trusted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. All this was according to the scriptures.
For the cause of Christ
