cajam - Of course, "experiential" theology proves nothing unless it is solidly founded on Scripture. [See 2 Timothy 3:16]. ..... In whose name were you baptized in the Baptist church as a young adult? As far as I know, Baptists have always baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Assuming you were baptized the same way in the Baptist church you allude to, why was that baptism insufficient for you? Why did you need to be baptised again in the name of Jesus only? Do you deny Matthew 28:19,20? ..... And you say that about a month subsequent to your second water baptism in the name of Jesus only, God filled you with the Holy Ghost. Describe your experience and tell me why the filling of the Holy Spirit came a month or so after your Jesus-only baptism. ..... Scripture teaches that the indwelling of the Holy Spirit occurs simulaneous with regeneration. When were you regenerated -- at some point before your first "Baptist" baptism or at the time of it, or at some later time when you became involved with the Apostolic Pentecostal Church? What in your theological system constitutes spiritual regeneration, or the new birth? I don't want to read vague and evasive answers to these questions based on nothing more than your spiritual "experiences" and opinions. Give us clear and solid biblical references in their proper context that teach what you believe and teach. Lacking positive scriptural support, any experiences you describe and any beliefs you promulgate on the pages of this forum are no more reliable than the run-of-the-mill super-market tabloids. Unless you are now able to defend your faith on solid scriptural doctrine, my advice to you is that you stop posting on this forum until you can. --Hank | ||||||

Hank, I was lead to be rebaptized by the Holy Ghost (not the indwelling) and no, I do not deny Matt 28:19,20. I just understand what Jesus said to his deciples. When I was filled with the Holy Ghost I speak in tongues (and no, I do not have the gift of tongues) I think my filling of the Holy Ghost came a month or so after my Baptism because I mistook the Presents of the Holy Ghost that was leading me for the promised or indwelling Spirit. When the Apostolic Church Leaders realized what I thought (That I already had the Holy Ghost)They ask me the question "Did you speak in Tongues when you received the Holy Ghost". I said "NO" then they told me that this was the "Sign give in the Bible". I did not believe them at that time, so I continued on till I began to realize that the presence and power that I had felt seem to began to fade. I got afraid and came to believe that they was right. You are right that the regeneration (for us it is the Baptism in Jesus name and Being filled with the Holy Ghost) should come together. This is what happen with my Wife. But there are circumstances that hinder this, read Acts 8:12-17. I hope this helps. | ||||||
