You have a very skewed view and lack of scriptural understanding. There are no scriptures that teach including those you've cited, that through or by preaching alone you become baptized. It's by preaching and hearing the word that leads or compels you to be obedient to the gospel which...

There are no scriptures that support your views, nowhere, not one, nor are there any that even somewhat infer what you're stating. No one gets baptized in the Holy Spirit by someone preaching to them. That's nonsense

No kidding! But, John's words were pertaining to future events. Even Acts 1 bares this out as it refers back to John's words. Acts 1:4-5 Holy Spirit 4And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father...

Something I've previously posted that addresses this common misconception. Subject: Spiritual baptism And who was it that John the Baptist was referring to? The apostles. Read the words of John the Baptist in Luke 3:16, and Jesus words to his apostles in Luke 24:49, then the words of Peter...

God is spirit, not a spirit. See the original Greek; the kjv is a poor translation. God is spirit meaning life, energy, that which quickens.

There is one baptism that WE must do and that's baptism on water which goes back to John's. Baptism unless otherwise stated is always immersion in water. How does one get baptized otherwise and what scriptures state this that you're relying on? How were the Jews on the day of Pentecost baptized...

Actually, I'm suggesting that the words may imply that something existed and was already created prior to that which is described in Gen 1:1; heaven and earth. Possibly the universe had already been created and Gen 1:1 and after, is really relating to just the earth and its surroundings. That...

Is it? It says "1In the beginning God created THE heaven and THE earth." Then it says "7And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 8And God called the firmament Heaven." So the above...

What creation is Gen1 discussing? It's talking about the creation of the heaven and earth, not the universe. Verse 1, as I asserted, implies that there was a beginning which preceded the creation discussed in Gen 1. Yes God only existed before everything, but Gen 1 is not discussing the creation...

The heaven is in some translations, plural, and also can refer to the immediate heaven above the earth, namely, the sky or atmosphere. But I'm with you regarding verse one that it may refer to the universe. The Greek interlinear says "heavens", plural. Also see Hebrews 11:3 in this regard and...

Nope, it doesn't blatantly say the universe was already there, but it suggests it, or that something already was and also suggests that the earth and heaven preceded day one.

By use of the word "beginning" means that something existed before, like possibly the universe. There seems to be something existing prior to day one, what, who knows, but trying to lump the entire creation along with day one in my view is an error simply by the use of words that preceded day...

Where does the Bible say or infer the UNIVERSE is 6000 yrs old? You're also making assumptions of how long the 1st 3 days were. The sun and moon came to be on day 4 which then were used to determine days, etc. And the beginning had already been created prior to day one on which light was created...

Goodbye

Send him a private message and inquire about it.

Are you his official spokesman? What do you know??? Not much!

You're missing the point, being the "beginning" was already created before day one not as part of day one.

Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning" - what does this really mean? "1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." God says exactly what he means and means exactly what he says, and his use of even the simplest of words cannot be overlooked, assumed, or taken for granted without careful...

Here's the essence of a post of mine from a different thread that addresses the common misunderstanding of Paul not being sent to baptize as taken from 1 Cor 1:17. Paul did baptize some, but his primary effort was to preach the word . Apollos apparently did most of the physical baptizing, when...

Cornelius' conversion wasn't different, a conversion is being converted to Christ; believing in him, then being obedient to that good news you heard and believed, subsequently resulting in repentance and being baptized into the body of Christ. That obviously did happen, similarly to the...
