I can explain. (sorry to but in) "Indwelling" means it's in there. "FULL" means there's so much of it in there that there's (at that time) no room for anything else..like sin. The bible denotes specific occasions when a person or group was FULL OF the Holy Ghost rather than just that the...

I was pointing out that seeking God leads to God answering. Sometimes you have to do like Moses and get alone with God if you need him to guide you. I thought about pointing you to read the scriptures when the holy ghost was poured out and received as Paul or Peter or John laid hands on them...

Sophie, have you not met people who say the same thing about your experience with the Holy Ghost at age 18? I'm not blanket-approving people's experiences one way or the other. But I will point out this concerning yours. You said you were baptized in the spirit all by yourself and because...

Have you ever lacked understanding about something and had to pray about it until God revealed what it actually means?

That would be like suggesting faith in Jesus didn't keep Peter afloat as Peter walked on the water to Jesus. Baptism would have done exactly as it is designed to do.. It would have produced a separation between him and his sins (which is why baptism is a part of repentance). But that doesn't...

This is a saddening concept but.... That's a bit like saying you disagree that Jesus would commission an apostle that would later turn away from truth and betray him. Think about it.... If Judas was a disciple of Jesus, he had been baptized. Many do perish. :(

oops. I answered for "chatty" not "catty"

I've been here quite a while. This is just one of Wansvic's threads. We do interact elsewhere. I just didn't want to switch to email. I was answering the question of my thoughts honestly. Not my fault if that's too much for others to process.. lol Have you considered the absurdity of the...

LOL she nails that

I'd be happy if you disregard WHO the compliments came from. Look at the words that were said about you. Are they accurate? Are they true? did they speak of your good traits (rather than the weaker attributes)?" Did they speak of your virtues (good reasonings)? if so, then think on them...

thanks

What does that mean?

Please see post #439. (easier than retyping)

That's not what I said. I said that the thief was still under the old rules. Baptism started accomplishing what it was intended to accomplish as soon as it was set in motion by God and through John the baptist. That means that baptism was allowed to start working even within the old system...

Yep.. lol :) I changed the order for replies based on what stood out the most. WOW that's powerful. And we know they didn't like hearing stuff like that...Stuff like "even though you believe to some degree, there is more that you need to submit to if you want to escape damnation". (John...

I'm thankful that you are able to see something you disagree with, and instead of getting personally offended you address the concept that you found faulty. And I said that on purpose and will not retract it as if it were flattery. (and I'll explain why in a little bit). But back to the...

As was shown earlier, and is surprising to find out... That same thief on the cross (who indeed made it into heaven) also didn't believe the Gospel that includes that God raised Jesus from the dead (because that hadn't happened yet) and also didn't receive the Holy Ghost (because it hadn't...

Yes, seriously. The fact that the bible was physically written BY man does NOT take a single bit of authority from it. But IF EternallyGrateful's argument that "If the physical act is done by Man, then it Doesn't carry the power of God" (paraphrased) were true (It's not), THEN it would have...

Well, I like it in that it's NOT the water that I put my faith in, it's the word that we 're submitting to. Getting dunked ... in water... by a man of God... as a function of repentance ... in the name of Jesus... for remission of sins... is simply the word that is written. (Acts 2:38 ...again...

Thanks for being willing to ask the question again/ In part I believe he told us that to highlight that different people have different callings... also that it doesn't matter which man of God baptized them because it is submitting to the WORD, not the man that matters. It seems they had...
