241 | Identifying the born again moment | NT general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 78816 | ||
Hello Disciplerami You said: "They were convicted of sin and they were convicted to be baptized. What was your point?" My point is that the text does not say that they were convicted to be baptized. Steve |

Hello Disciplerami Peter had been preaching to the assembled crowd. The crowd, under conviction, asked Peter what they should do (2:37). Only then does Peter say they should repent and be baptized. The conviction had already taken place without the mention of baptism. Steve |

Hello Makarios, Thanks much for the articles. ESV has been my translation of choice since it came out. It was nice to get the added information on what others thought. I've noticed the 'weaknesses' in my reading and agree with much that this writer said, but it's still better than most. Steve |

Hello Dechande, Yes, the Lord will bring order to His followers, but these groups are not His followers. The shepherds of the local churches are obligated to defend the sheep against these destructive teachings (Acts 20:28-31; Titus 1:10-16). Steve |

Hello Dachande, Why can't all churches be tolerant like LDS? Two reasons come to mind. First: LDS is not a part of the true church--the body of Christ. They do not believe the truth of the Lord Jesus Christ--that He is the one true God in the flesh. Second: We are commanded to contend for the faith (Jude 3). We have no room for tolerance of heresy.

Hello Ken, Evangelica was more correct concerning gifts. Consider the following: Romans 12:6-8 (ESV) Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; [7] if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; [8] the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness. You say the Holy Spirit doesn't give power for living? What about: Romans 15:13 (ESV) May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. Ephes. 3:16 (ESV) that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, You said: [Strength should be a "Wisdom" as to when to speak combine with what to say.."word of knowledge".] Chapter and verse please.

Hello Ken, You asked: [Get my drift?] Do you get mine? You had answered to Evangelica that "the gift of teaching, or preaching, or encouraging, or serving...ect.....None of the these are gifts and serving is more of a fruit." Romans 12:6-8 clearly states that teaching, serving, and encouraging are listed as spiritual gifts. Next we have: [Yes...And. The above mentions joy. What "joy" would that be, Steve?] Joy in a relationship with God Himself through the Lord Jesus Christ. But I was responding to your answer that the Holy Spirit does not empower us to live for God. You also stated: [When you see it [with your spiritual eyes] you will understand it is His power of Himself in you functioning and not power that He gives you] I agree His power works in us. I never said otherwise. You had said the Holy Spirit does not empower us to live. Now you admit He does but somehow does not. I don't understand. [And no you are not made into a robot because the Spirit is always subject to the Prophet] I never thought this. I don't know why you mentioned it. [It is Him in you and upon you that is the strength, not just something He gives you should you be lacking the Mind of God.] Right, the Holy Spirit strengthens us through His power as stated in Eph 3:16. [Chapter and verse? How about common sense when reading the text in context? You should know what the context is by now.] I asked for chapter and verse because I could not understand the context of your statement. So I ask again for chapter and verse to back your statement that strength should be a "wisdom". Steve |

Hello Ken, I haven't changed your words, I've quoted them and challenged you concerning them. Also, I believe I said it was George McDonald who had bad theology. I admit to being very dogmatic. I make no apology for this. No kindness was extended because you were misinterpreting Scripture and stating it as truth. [With exception, I haven't heard one of you with depth of knowledge who would last ten minutes with one who does. That's sad....pitiful.] I guess that depends on your definition of "depth of knowledge" and of what field of knowledge. As for knowledge of the Scriptures, we have many here who are fine students, and to denigrate them is arrogant and prideful. Steve |

Hello Ken, Here is what you had written: ************************** [Ephes. 3:16 (ESV) that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being,] .....In your inner being. Do you know how that happens? When you see it [with your spiritual eyes] you will understand it is His power of Himself in you functioning and not power that He gives you...And no you are not made into a robot because the Spirit is always subject to the Prophet. 1 Cor. 14:32 (NASB) and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets; ************************** Because you wrote "it is His power of Himself in you functioning and not power that He gives you" it appears you are saying that He both empowers us and doesn't empower us. These are mutually exclusive. Would you clear up the dilemma? Steve |

Hello Ken, [Remember who was He speaking to in Acts 1? Aren't these the same people He "breathed on" in John 20.22?] Yes, they are. However you are missing the truth of: 1 Cor. 12:13 (ESV) For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body? Jews or Greeks, slaves or free?and all were made to drink of one Spirit. All believers receive the Spirit baptism. [Don't be embarassed over this. Most of the church never sees it either.] How very condescending of you. Steve |

Hello Ken, Jesus baptizes with the Holy Spirit when we believe. It was first done in Acts 2 and continues on until today. Now I repeat: 1 Cor. 12:13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body. If this isn't baptism with the Holy Spirit, then what is it? Steve |

Hello Ken, [Because we are called to live BY the faith of Christ. [not many do. They live by their own "fuzzy feelings" and not faith not placed IN Christ Jesus] Therefore it is Him-His power within, aside from my will, except that I will His will to function in me and By me. It's called "abandonment".] I agree that we are to live by faith IN Christ (not by faith OF Christ). And I understand that in my weakness He is made strong. So if you are saying that we should allow Christ to work through us freely, then I agree. However, that doen't change the fact that we are strengthened by the power of the Holy Spirit working in us as in Eph 3:16. Steve |

Hello Ken, No It was symbolized in John 20:22 and actualized in Acts 2. But you are still avoiding my question: 1 Cor. 12:13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body. If this isn't baptism with the Holy Spirit, then what is it? Steve |

Hello Ken, [How so since His faith is the Faith and the ONLY Faith that pleases the Father?] I would say the faith Christ exhibited allowed Him to do all that the Father had asked of Him including the work on the cross. To say that ONLY Christ's faith pleases the Father is incorrect. Hebrews 11 is full of people whose faith pleased the Father. [Without His faith, the Mind of Christ, from you your works to please the Father remain in you with your misplaced affections.] This makes no sense to me. Is that what you were refering to in the partial quote of Gal 2:20? [Acts 2 is the "coming upon" of the Holy Spirit...Not the indwelling.] The Holy Spirit came upon them (Acts 2:3), filled them (Acts 2:4), and baptized them (Acts 1:5). How could they not have been indwelt at that time? Steve |

Hello Ken, I am saying the Lord Jesus promised in graphic form that the Holy Spirit would come upon them shortly. He restated it in in a different way in Acts 1:5. Acts 2 is where it all actually took place. Steve |
