Don't know what you mean ftom a scriptural perspective. Membership in THE LORD'S church is done by the Lord. You're baptized into his body which is HIS church according to Acts 2:38-47. No one on earth has the power or authority to add you to the church nor vote you in or deny or grant you...

It's unscriptural to even consider that scripture conflicts or contradicts other scripture. It's man that's confused not scripture.

Not so. Nothing in the bible remotely suggests that is the purpose. That's total nonsense. Who did thd Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8 show publicly? It was him and Philip in the middle of nowhere!

That is a if not the problem. Most wouldn't recognize the truth if it slapped them in the face. Most are also not well read and tend to follow their gut, family tradition, preconceived ideas, their own logic rather than God's and his truth, unfortunately, and are mislead and lead astray as a...

Here's the KJV which doesn't read the same at all nor makes such an implication by its wording. Acts 11:17 17Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God? Also, the interlinear in the Greek reads...

Contrary to what some have said water baptism IS a part of being saved according to the scriptures. Read the account of the Ethiopian eunuch's conversion in Acts 8. Didn't take long and wasn't complicated. He believed after being preached Jesus, he confessed his belief verbally, and was...

Actually, remember Ecclesiastes 10:2 2A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.

As I attempted to point out, upon baptism WE ALL receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, that's what the scriptures say in Acts 2:38. But it says you receive the gift not gifts of the Spirit. You receive the manifestation of the gifts through the Spirit by the laying on ofvthe APOSTLE'S hands other...

As I said the only examples are in the name of Jesus Christ. Look at the book of Acts and find an example that says people were baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Neither the Father nor Holy Ghost died forvour sins. Jesus did, it's his body and church and thebway you enter...

Daubed or sprinkled is not baptism. Baptism is a transliterated word from the Greek which means to immerse, plunge, dip and not sprinkle, daubed,

You receive the Holy Ghost according to Acts 2:38. It doesn't say you receive gifts (plural) it says you receive THE gift of the Holy Ghost, not gifts of or from the Holy Ghost. It's the spirit itself that we all receive by promise. You can see by reading the scriptures some of which I posted...

I have no idea what you're talking about. Those are your words. Be specific.

We all receive thd gift of the Holy Ghost or Spirit according to Acts 2:38. Receiving the Holy Ghost itself is not the same as the gifts manifested by or through it, namely, those of a miraculous nature listed in 1 Cor 12:8-10. The gift of the spirit and the gifts produced by the Spirit are two...

All churches aren't the same and it's not or shouldn't be how it matches you. Truth is what's important. Many, many, don't know how to save souls most of which have the highest number of members unfortunately.

The scriptures prove it. Start with Luke 3:16 and Luke 24:47-49 both restated in Acts 1:4-5. What's it say? One will come that will baptize with the Holy Ghost and with fire, in Luke 3:16, and in Luke 24:47-49, it says repentance and remission of sins should be preached starting at Jerusalem and...

Still not clear. Im not sure what your intent was in this posting. Are you inferring confession alone saves you by your citing of the one scripture? Yes or no. If yes, that's not true. There are more elements required for salvation when all pertinent scriptures are taken into consideration. Also...

You are spot on. Obedience. The gospel must be obeyed and part of the gospel is baptism as was clearly noted in Acts 8 in the conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch, since he asked Philip specifically about it. Read the account. 2 Thes 1:7-8 7And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord...

The only two recorded instances were Acts 2 and Acts 10 and in both cases the Holy Ghost fell uniquely and for a specific reason abd without the laying on of the apostle's hands. In both cases, it was to establish tge church, 1st in Jerusalem amongst the Jews, and then in Caesarea amongst the...

As I posted for someone else, the only examples we have subsequent to the Lord's death is baptism in the name of Jesus Christ and not the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. It's Jesus that died. It's his body we're baptized into. It's his church which is his body.
