Agree. Only 2 times cited in the bible that the Holy Spirit "fell" miraculously without the laying on of the apostle's hands snd that's Acts 2 and 10 and in both cases it was a heavenly sign of validation of what was occurring which resulted in the church being established amongst the Jews 1st...

The simple answer to your thread question is that it didn't. The premise of your question is flawed.

My point was once again, scripture IS consistent, and it doesn't matter: either is OK, BUT, you'll find, as I pointed out, that baptizers of the biblical record said neither prior to their baptizing of persons. The baptizer DID NOT say "I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and...

Still lots of confusion and misunderstanding regarding the thief on the cross I can see by postings on this thread, so once again, I'll repost a writing of mine on this subject which was also the subject of a thread on this forum. REPOST I continually encounter people trying to justify that...

This was discussed in significant detail on a recent post. "Baptism, the simple version". Scripture MUST agree with scripture. One does not supercede another to produce conflict. So, both Mat 28:19 and Acts 2:38 have to be in harmony even though they say something different. The bottom line...

Whether you realize it or not, we make judgements every day, all the time. It's when you set yourself above someone else as though you're better than they are, and not realizing your own issues, is where the problem is.

I vowed to myself I would no longer waste time with you, but once more, I will. To your point previously, you mentioned the word "shall" in Acts 2:38, inferring it was in the future and therefore nebulous. The whole of Acts 2:38 when it was spoken had not yet happened and was in the future...

Once again, you are not making the clear distinction between the GIFT of the Spirit vs. manifestations of, or GIFTS of the Spirit which is causing you to misinterpret all the scriptures pertaining to this subject. Goodbye. I won't waste any more time with you. Believe what you like.

???? What do you think Acts 2:38 means, to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost? That's receivied upon baptism, no laying of the apostles hands, and same as we today? When you receive the gift of the Holy Ghost upon baptism, what does that mean? It doesn't say gifts of the Holy Ghost, or one of...

The indwelling of the Holy Spirit DOES follow a pattern set by Acts 2:38. Everyone baptized into Christ receives the gift of the Holy Ghost, not gifts (manifestations of the Spirit) but the Spirit itself. In Acts 2:4 that you referred to, who is "they"? "They" are the apostles. You must go back...

The gifts have all ceased and required the laying on of the apostle's hands: they're all dead

You have to trace it back to it's origin. The Joel prophesy, John the Baptist's words in Luke 3, Jesus words o his APOSTLES in Luke 24:49, then following it through to Acts 1 and 2. Below is something previously written and posted that should address this for you. Also, the words "i will pour...

Pray for yourself. God has blessed me beyond measure.

Yes, you are correct. I'm unteachable. I can't be taught BS and untruth. Goodbye.

Goodbye. I'm done with you on this thread and any future ones.

You continue to show your ignorance and lack of true knowledge, and arrogance towards God's word which is simple. Men like you choose to confuse it and make it difficult. You lack understanding of Ananias and Saul as an example. Below is a copy of one of my threads on this forum on this...

I'll let the words of the bible speak for themselves. Find the elements of salvation in each of the below and piece them together, then you'll have the complete picture of salvation as relates to our part of the bargain. God does his afterwards. Mark 16:15-16 15And he said unto them, Go ye...

It's a free gift but requires action and obedience on our part before God grants the free gift of salvation. How is it obtained? You receive the Holy Ghost at the same time your sins are forgiven and are added to the body of Christ and NOT upon belief (Acts 2:38-47). No scriture says that...

Believe what you like. The Pentecostals are simply practicing phoney tongues.
