It was actually the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins (Luke 3:3), exactly like Acts 2:38 except Acts 2:38 is in the name of Jesus Christ. Luke 3:3 3And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; Acts 2:38 38Then...

Means the same as being saved.

Yes. Read the account of Simon the sorcerer in Acts 8. He believed and was baptized meaning he was saved, but he wanted to buy the power that the apostles had by the laying on of their hands, and was told to repent or perish.

You are correct. You do not receive the gift of the Holy Ghost/Spirit upon belief, nor are you saved uppn belief. You receive the gift of the Holy Ghost/Spirit at the time of being baptized into Christ per Acts 2:38. Also for clarity, receiving the gift of the HolyGhost/Spirit is the Spirit...

If that scripture is supposed to be a reflection of me or describe me, the only thing I can say or do is laugh. You don't know what you're talking about nor do you understand the miraculous gifts in 1 Cor 12:8-10 nor what there need was then. Goodbye 👋

A couple words of clarification for you. Read the interlinear Greek for clarity of 1Cor 12. It doesn't say "by one Spirit" as does the KJV, but rather "in one Spirit" which makes a difference. Eph 4:5 5One Lord, one faith, one baptism The above word for baptism in the interlinear is...

Just a comment regarding the one true church as you mentioned above. That one true church is the one that Jesus adds you to according to Acts 2:47. That's exactly how and why the church Just a quick comment regarding the one true church you made mention of above. That one true church is the...

Tell that to the inspired writers as well as Jesus himself Mark 16:15-16, Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16, 1Peter 3:21

Obviously it is when you carry it forward and link the scriptures together. Luke 3:16, John the Baptist ref per above, 16John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall...

Have sinned infers action. Sin must be committed. Neworn infants have not committed sin. Jesus was a newborn infant at one time. Was he guilty of sin or born with sin? Likewise with other newborn infants. They've not yet committed sin. And the bible says of such is the kingdom of heaven. Mat...

He's fallen away, no different than the warning found in Hebrews 6:4-6 to the newly converted Jews. 4For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers...

Agree with you 100%. A lot of false doctrines that many believe that don't save souls. One such pervasive doctrine as an example that you constantly hear on TV commercials, such as those by Franklin Graham that many have bought into, is being saved by simply recting a prayer and asking Jesus...

It's when you're saved. When is that? It's after belief and your initial faith in the Lord, confession of your belief, repentance, and baptism into Christ are you then saved. It's then.

Most people confuse receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit or Ghost, the Spirit itself, with the miraculous gifts administered by or through the Spirit as per 1 Cor 12:8-10. You receive the gift of the Holy Spirit or Ghost according to Acts 2:38, upon baptism. Acts 2:38 38Then Peter said unto...

Acts 2:38 disagrees with you or you with it. 38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

On the day of Pentecost, what happened was to the apostles which fulfilled the prophecy of Joel as well as what was said by John the Baptist, and consistent with what the Lord said to the apostles in Luke 24:49; to tarry in Jerusalem until they received power from on high. It was for them and...

Who today is performing miracles, like raising the dead, or healing the lame. What knowledge today are we missing that the bible does not tell us which was not the case then? The faith that Stephen had as noted in Acts 6, full of faith and power and did great wonders and miracles, not the same...

The need for the various gifts which Paul equated to the human body was needed then, but not now. Why was there prophecy, because there was no written word to guide, and tongues to convince the nonbelievers, also because there was nothing else to do so. The various body memebers which had...
