When Paul writes this He's referring to the Good news of what is now established . Of course it cannot be said that it was good news of the death ,burial and resurrection and all what that means to a person , prior to it happening.

The main issue is not rightly dividing.

The most important baptism is by the Holy Spirit. A person cannot be saved without this ,but he can be saved without water baptism . Paul is taught the ' Mysteries ' and the Gospel of grace ,to which , among other things scarcely are taught by most churches ,which instead teach some form of...

Acts 2.38 is sadly one of ,the most twisted scriptures in the NT . Again ,why is Acts 2.38 used as the plan of salvation today ? -Its chapter 2 in a book of 28 chapters ? - Its a transitional book - Peter is addressing Israel/ Jews 36¶Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that...

I'm referring to the order in which the Holy Spirit is given . Today its Eph 1.13 . This is consistent after the transitions in Acts ,which should never be used prescriptively imo .

What really happens is Acts 2.38 gets used as doctrine, because of a doctrine already assumed ,instead of understanding the verse in its immediate context first .

There is water baptism in scripture and there is Spirit Baptism . You seem to apply Water when its not water ?

No ,your adding to scripture 'water ' when it isnt water .

That's not a great approach. I would say that each verse stands within the context of each chapter, which stands within the context of that book / letter . So the first approach is to understand that passage in its immediate context first.

But never in Any of Paul's epistles ( 13 ) which is really odd ,if your right .

Because it never shows up again After Acts .

That's called ' post hoc rationalization '. What does eph 1 .13 say ? And what does Acts 2 .38 say ? And ! what does Acts 8 :12 -18 say ? They are all different.

Could you walk through the chapter in question as to why you say this ? Because I can't see this is what Paul is saying in context ?

Individually all Jews and Gentiles can be saved . Israel corporately will be saved ' nationally ' in the future . Replacement theology makes people have really bad theology . Israel is not the church . The Church is not Spiritual Israel and other such garbage.

You missed some details there. Acts 2.38 Peter specifically says to those Jews to be baptised in order to recieve the Holy Spirit . In Acts 8 those Samaritans needed ' laying on of hands ' to My point isn't 'baptism '. My point is the order in Acts 2.38 and Acts 8 and many other places in...

I see its an unnecessary burden .

What's makes you think we will be asked these questions ?

" Must be personal Lord " ? There is only one Lord Jesus. 1 cor 15 . 1-4 Covers this ,as it says ' according to the Scriptures. A lost person must believe in the Jesus ' according to the Scriptures ' . Not according to the book of Mormon ect .

Ok so talk me through this please. A lost person needs to ' make ' Jesus Lord ,before he can be regenerated? Is this your position ? And how does a lost person ' Make ' Jesus Lord ? Isn't Jesus already Lord?
