uh huh
just like your thread on hell
next you will tell us that you are not here to debate and you don't answer critics of your interpretation as in your other treatise
you have both cessationists and non cessationists alarmed at your lack of integrity and false humility
can't wait to see what you do next

so let me get this straight
eg and wolfie are not really sure what stones is saying but they know she is wrong
eg knows she is wrong and has taken it so far as to say what she believes is not from the word of God because he knows, yes he knows, that you receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit upon salvation. now he knows this because he cannot wrap his mind around how it really happens because it has not happened to him and so that means no one else has had it happen either
he has noticed he does not have a special power, but he knows he doesn't want it even if it is available because he does not have it
good for him. you sure can't beat that type of reasoning...not even with a wooden spoon
we will simply dismiss the fact that Jesus said that the disciples and other believers would have POWER to witness for Him AFTER the Holy Spirit came upon them. they were already saved and believing in Jesus so it was AFTER salvation and not upon salvation
and of course wolfie is a cessationist who denies any and all scripture or historical references and goes on to say that no one has answered him. of course that is now true, because no one who has answered him, will continue to answer him, after answering him mulitple times and being told by him that you have not answered him
one day they will both find out they were wrong. not saying they are not saved; that is God's domain
but having taught against the truth and pounded others who have tried skillfully and patiently to lead them out of their circular reasoning, it might cause embarrassment. is there embarrassment in the after life?
now at least one of these 2 have told me in no uncertain terms that they have me on ignore
stay tuned to see if that is true or not. it's like holding your breath until you are purple as some children are wont to do
you might pass out first though
please appreciate the sarcastic humor for what it is worth. neither of you can beat it. getting angry does not count

Yes,,it is better to ignore me. Otherwise you must confront yourself with the fact that you trust an man made doctrine.
yet you cant exactly explain in exactly what i shared is conjecture from the word ? you just say that expecting people to believe you. it shouldnt be too hard, since i didnt post much. I mentioned two chapters. and a made a few statements about each. So what statement is conjecture ? or are you just blowing hot air or something . so many people pretending to be Christians quick to accuse , and yet dont know anything about the Bible For themselves .
Is this the exception or the rule before Pentecost? In John 7:38-39, we read - He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
The disciples were already believers and already saved (with the exception of Judas Iscariot) prior to Pentecost. In Matthew 16:16, we read - Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” In John 20:31, we read - but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.
Amen! And they did receive power from on high.
I'm not denying they were already saved. The Holy Spirit was not yet given, yet believers were still saved prior to Pentecost through believing in His name. (John 1:12) Again exception, not the rule. How many believers today are saved and have not received the indwelling Holy Spirit? Answer - 0 Acts is a transitional book.
The Holy Spirit came upon certain people (but not everyone) in the old testament in power to accomplish specific tasks. The Holy Spirit abides in all believers today (Ephesians 1:13; 1 Corinthians 12:13) and not merely the elite few. I never said the Holy Spirit only abides in an elite few. You may have misunderstood my last post.
Amen!
I don't disagree.

17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

Sign to Mary was fullfed she gave birth ,
Rainbow as a shadow points to a new kind of peace .It does not create peace like. . . lets pray for a rainbow .Other have used it to take away the peace that comes from following the true peace. Its has rained on their rainbow parades more than once. Not a rainbow in the sky. Just a bunch of colorful wet people.
Hezekiah the sign of a good king used in the parable involving the times when there were kings in Israel .he was part of preparing the way for the reformation.
Joshua meaning savior was used a part of a parable that uses 7 trumpets to be compared in the book of Revelation as another parable. Spiritual meaning hid. The example of using the temporal literal way with walls falling to represent the last day the end of the world according to the signified language. Joshua meaning savior as sign was a type of Christ. other were use in similar parables in the same way. that sign used Joshua as metaphor or type.
Not one is a sign as a "wonderment maker or creator" that one could seek after to self edify their own flesh to confirm something?

Yes, all believers are sealed with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13). The book of Acts is a transitional book. Prior to Pentecost, believers did not yet receive the indwelling Holy Spirit (John 7:38-39). After Pentecost, at times, the receiving of the Holy Spirit was delayed until the apostles laid hands on them (exception, not the rule - Acts 8:17; 19:6). This seems to have caused much confusion. The Mormons have turned laying on of hands to receive the Holy Spirit into the rule for today. My wife grew up in the RLDS church (similar to LDS) and they did the same.
I don't believe that ALL Pentecostals believe they are elite, yet there are certain people within Pentecostal circles who speak in tongues and act superior to believers who do not speak in tongues and yet certain others within Pentecostal circles believe that unless you speak in tongues you will not be saved. I know former Pentecostals who have left certain Pentecostal churches because of that kind of nonsense (including my older brother) but let's not throw the baby out with the bath water.
I don't see in scripture where baptism with the Holy Spirit happens under two separate occasions. I see where ALL believers are baptized by one Spirit into one body (1 Corinthians 12:13) and certain believers are "filled" with the Holy Spirit to accomplish specific tasks, as we saw at Pentecost when they began to speak in other tongues and those listening heard them speak in their own language.
Do you mean "filled" with the Holy Spirit as they were in Acts 2:4?
I believe in miracles today, yet there are also counterfeit movements and deception. We need to be discerning.
Becoming born again is a supernatural experience, along with living the Christian life, which is not without supernatural intervention, yet there are also counterfeit movements out there.

The Holy Spirit had been given in John 20 when Jesus breathed on them. After the resurrection, it was the Norm. indwelling happens when you are saved. empowerment is when the Holy Spirit comes upon you like the anointing, or unction

Yes, Jesus breathed on the disciples (but not on everyone) and they received the Holy Spirit in John 20. They were on a mission and had a task to perform at Pentecost.
Yes, after the resurrection it was the Norm for all to receive the Holy Spirit, which is in harmony with John 7:38-39. Empowerment/anointing/unction sounds like what happens when one is "filled" with the Holy Spirit. Is this what Pentecostals refer to as the "baptism of the Holy Spirit?" I could see where that would cause confusion.

yes, sir,
when many see the word Baptism they immediately think of Baptized. They contextually two different things depending on where and how they are used in the text or verse or chapter.
John 1:33
And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
a great example in John 1:33 " sent me to baptize (baptizō ) with water or in water.
Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth(baptizo~) with the Holy Ghost.
not with water also means to be clothed with emerged in repeatedly same word but two different contexts
Baptized, Baptism, Baptizing, and Filled with are all terms to study

You might want to at least marginally know what you are talking about prior to making random accusations.
You posted a new thread 45 minutes ago and within 15 minutes posted that it had been blocked "for no reason". Your thread was not "blocked", it was sitting in an approval que (just like every new thread OP) waiting to be approved prior to being posted publicly. There are only a couple of us on CC staff that have the authority (or ability) to screen new threads and CS1 is not one of them. I am one of those persons but I tend to look at reports prior to new thread approvals when I log in so I found your beef about your thread not being posted even before I saw the thread itself.
New threads (just like new member approvals) can take anywhere from a couple of seconds to 8 hours or more depending on the time of day since CC is predominantly staffed by volunteers like myself who have jobs and families.
I will consider your thread just as soon as I am aware that you have apologized to CS1 for your false accusation just as publicly as you accused him.
