May I ask, how long have you walked with the Lord?
I think I see the problem, when I read someone's comments and they start out with saying some think like being baptized in JESUS name does not get rid of your sins and that's EXACTLY what it says it does then I don't read anymore.
SO I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU RESPECT AND GO THROUGH THIS AND I ASK YOU FOR THE SAME RESPECT TO EXPLAIN WHAT YOU ARE SAYING!!!
Why read when the first word GOES AGAINST HIS WORD? This is all about HIS word and when don't like what it says then it just goes to their opinion.
Your opinion doesn't matter!!
So I'm sorry, forgive me you may have responded to me with this?
I'm going to try to figure out YOUR opinion and break down what you said and go from there.
"That is not getting rid of your sin,"
JESUS is the word, why would you say he's lying to us?
"that is what the Lord does to you in order to fulfill His promise to you as a believer"
?Your saying he forgives our sin because he promised to do so? Or he baptize us which forgives our sins?
"We are baptized into Him"
How do we get baptized into him?
'His name is His person"
??????????
"You cannot baptize yourself into Christ no matter how high you jump"
Fact, we need a JESUS disciple to do it.
"I have explained this many times"
I think you have given me you opinion which is not very clear.
"If you have not seen it maybe it is because you are not bothering to look"
If things don't make since, I skip over it and as I said I am sorry! I DON'T UNDERSTAND?
"Go back and read, not only my posts, but the posts of others who have told you the same thing over and over again"
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SAYING, I REPEAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SAYING???

To me they are very clear, get baptize in JESUS name and JESUS will fill us with the Holy Ghost the promise is for all.
"Then I suggest you look further than just two verses so you can put the whole rationale of God into perspective. Try looking at the one below as well as Acts 11:16 and how the apostles continued in a tradition until Peter woke up"
ARE you saying that being baptized is a tradition? Until he woke up? Are you saying Peter was not in his right mind?
In Acts 11 Peter went to his fellow Jews and had some explaining to do WHY HE WENT TO THE GENTILES!! Acts 11,
14 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.
15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?
HE (in Acts 10) WENT TO SHOW THEM HOW TO BE SAVED!! What happened? SAME THING AS ACTS 2:38-41 they RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST FIRST THEN HE COMMANED THEM TO BE BAPTIZED!!!
So how is that tradition when Peter gave the same message???
Being baptized with water was for Israel to identify with the coming Messiah John preached. Being baptized with the Holy Spirit is for the Church so that we are made to be in Christ, a supernatural event requiring a supernatural mode. Water cannot place you in Christ. Please start thinking beyond your nose.
Thinking beyond my nose??? Using GODS word help me think beyond my nose AND BACK UP WHAT YOU SAY WITH HIS WORD!! OR IT'S A LIE.
Ephesians 4:5
one Lord, one faith, one baptism.
How many baptisms? To which baptism is Paul referring?
One Lord, there goes the concept of three gods, the father the son and the Holy Ghost there is ONE LORD HIS NAME IS JESUS.
One faith, THERE GOES YOUR CONCEPT OF DIFFERENT MESSAGES FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
One baptism, Paul is referring to WATER HE knows that it is how we get rid of our sins read Romans 6. Look at Acts 19? Have you received the Holy Ghost SINCE YOU HAVE BELIEVED he asked? They said never heard of it, he said HOW WERE YOU BAPTIZED??????
They were BAPTIZED IN JESUS name and Paul laid hands on them and GUESS WHAT HAPPENED???
YEP, THEY 19:6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

Or use it to cover up questions.
You have a real cheek mate. LOL You're the one who keeps refusing to answer questions. You explain nothing and continue to simply throw out the same scripture without understanding. In case you missed it, NAME = PERSON.
Did you ask any questions?
I started going to church when I was 17, said the man-made sinners prayer baptized in JESUS titles in the name of the father the son and the Holy Ghost.
So was not reborn until around 45, when someone showed me the same word I'm hear trying to share his word so people see the truth in HIS word and not just listen to a man because he calls himself a pastor.
