in answer to acts 2:38 Jesus Only argument about trinity

Acts 2:33
Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you both see and hear.

Acts 2:38
Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 4:8
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders,

Acts 4:25
it is you who said by the Holy Spirit through our ancestor David, your servant: ‘Why did the Gentiles rage, and the peoples imagine vain things?

Acts 1:4
While staying with them, he ordered them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait there for the promise of the Father. “This,” he said, “is what you have heard from me;

Acts 1:7
He replied, “It is not for you to know the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority.

Acts 2:39
For the promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far away, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to him.”

As you can see, all three persons of the Trinity are referred to around Acts 2:38.

May God bless everyone. And, the virus be alergic and fear you.

That’s right. If a person has been saved by the grace of God through faith in Christ Jesus, the Holy Spirit will make His abode in him/her. ….and It will be evident:

Galatians 5:22-23

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

Acts 2:38-39

38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

He spoke quite a bit about The Holy Spirit as a personal being and also frequently about The Father as a personal being.

I don't think that there's any argument that is going to convince either side of the trinity/oneness debate. Any scripture you bring up, a oneness preacher will just say "that's not 3 people, it's one person and that's 3 of his titles." And any scripture they bring up, a trinitarian will just say "yes, Jesus is one with the father, and holy spirit, but they are all separate persons" You could literally go on till jesus comes back.

Chapter 7. Concerning Baptism. And concerning baptism, baptize this way: Having first said all these things, baptize into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, in living water. But if you have no living water, baptize into other water; and if you cannot do so in cold water, do so in warm. But if you have neither, pour out water three times upon the head into the name of Father and Son and Holy Spirit. But before the baptism let the baptizer fast, and the baptized, and whoever else can; but you shall order the baptized to fast one or two days before.

"
But let no one eat or drink of your Eucharist, unless they have been baptized into the name of the Lord; for concerning this also the Lord has said, "Give not that which is holy to the dogs."

Chapter 10. Prayer after Communion. But after you are filled, give thanks this way:"

In discussion online, I used the Didache ch 7 above. They read their garbage into "baptized into the name of the Lord;" as being Jesus Only. I pointed out that what Jesus said in Matthew 28 trumps all their false words.

Thanks to all who replied.

I haven't read the didache in a long time. That bit about fasting before baptism is interesting I dont think I've seen it observed anywhere, or read in scripture where they did that.

According to Jewish source: "He stationed himself near some water-fountain to baptize the people, at Bethabara (John i. 28) or Ænon (John iii. 23). While he "preached good tidings unto the people" (Luke iii. 18), that is, announced to them that the redemption was at hand, he made his disciples prepare for it by fasting (Matt. ix. 14, xi. 18, and parallel passages).
