Terrarica,

Your lack of belief in what Scripture states reveals things about you.

Acts 2:38New English Translation (NET Bible)

38 Peter said to them, “Repent, and each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

These are Peter’s words as he speaks t…[Read more]

Miia,

The thief on the cross is a poor example because he died under the Law and not under grace. Like the prophets and others of old he would not be made perfect apart from those that obey the gospel. (Hebrews 11:40)

In short those that are not under grace are not judge as if they were under grace but each is judged according what they know.…[Read more]

Terrarica,

So you do not believe?

It is clear since you are unable to explain how what you believe is supported by Scripture.

That makes it clear your teaching is not based on Scripture.

Most likely you were taught the doctrine by men who misinterpreted certain passages to support it and you simply forgot their argument but remember their…[Read more]

Nick,

That is your understanding but it is flawed as reason has abandoned you on this point. Seek first God’s righteousness and his kingdom and all else will be given to you.

terraricca,

Have you not read Hebrews?

Hebrews 4:15New English Translation (NET Bible)

15 For we do not have a high priest incapable of sympathizing with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin.

The point is that he was tempted as we are but without sin being conceived in him.

terrarica,

I believe we can mature in the Spirit to be tempted as we are now but without sin.

Miracles, prophecy are a gifts of the Spirit but the fruits are more important.

Jesus did not lie.

Ed,

I understand that “the father of our spirits” is God as spirit is born of Spirit.

Ed,

The word baptism is now in contention since individuals have misused it or one of its ancestors for centuries. The Jews have practiced full immersion in living water since before the time of Christ and all the examples in Scripture seem to include places where the water flowed freely naturally. Some are indeterminate. John the Baptist had…[Read more]

Terrarica,

Scripture compares Jesus with humanity as far as temptation goes. In order for him to be tempted as the rest of humanity then what James and Peter said about temptation as regards humanity also applies to him.

Either your image of Jesus is flawed or your understanding of Peter and James’ words are in error or both your image of him…[Read more]

Terraricca,

Do you not believe Jesus when he states “Truly, truly, I say to you, He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to my Father”? (John 14:12 American King James Version)

Let God be concerned about those that die before they receive the Advocate as he considers aggravating and mitigating circumstances. He is the judge not us. Trust that he is both just and merciful and so anyone that can be saved will be saved.

Terraricca,

kw

the billions of people that have been baptised in water never got it either

What is “it”?

Wilsunphi,

Nice name. Is the phi symbolizing the golden ratio?

God created all thing via his Spirit for he spoke his word and the Spirit moved and all things were created that have been created.

Just as God made Adam from the earth so too did he make Jesus from the seed of David and formed him within her womb. Just as the Spirit hovered over…[Read more]

terrarica,

None of those passages say that receiving then Holy Spirit means you are baptized in Jesus and one even says the Holy Spirit landed on Jesus himself.

you right and thanks for your time ,

My point that the idea is believed by some to be implied in Scripture.

The argument for it can only be found in…[Read more]

Nick,

Yes, the fruits of Festus reveals he was a natural man.

Nick,

I just regard you as behaving irrational.

After all you imply that a human needs to control themselves because they are allied with themselves.

Your point is absurd which led me to believe you are wasting my time.

Nick,

Your words reveal you do not understand Scripture.
