I'm not talking about water at all. I'm confused as to what your confusion on my post is! Sorry. | ||||||

Acts 2:38 and 39 give us Peter telling them that if they were to repent, they can recieve the gift of the Holy Ghost, they can recieve the same thing that these men who they called 'drunk' have, which they called them drunk because they were boldy out in the street, speaking in other tongues. Peter is adressing to them that they too can have this same thing in their lives. He even tells what the prophet had said about it. His context shows us he is talking about what happend to the 120 from Acts 2:4. Its like this, I can have water inside me, and it can be working in me to do what the natural body needs to live, but I could still dehydrate because I don't have enough. I'm saying that according to the book of Acts, these men got more than just a measure of the Spirit inside of them that we all get at the new birth. They allowed themselves to be totally immersed into the Spirit. I'm not denying that every born again believer has the Holy Spirit in them, I am just saying they don't have at the new birth all that God wants for them to have. He wants to totally immerse you into that anointing, into that Spirit so that you can have power to live a successful life. |

I am saying that you have the Holy Spirit in your life when you are born again. It is actually the Holy Spirit which baptizes us into the body of Christ. However, you are not totally immersed into the Holy Ghost. The 120 in that upper room knew Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior, yet in Acts 2:4 we see that they were all filled with the Holy Ghost. This is to be something that happens throughout the life of the beleiver. When Paul wrote, be not drunk with wine wherein is excess but be filled with the Spirit speaking to yourselves in spiritual songs singing and making meolody in your heart to the Lord, when we read this the be filled with the spirit as it reads in the King James is taken from the Greek perfect present tense, its a continuous present, just like salvation, in other words it would be 'be being filled with the Spirit' We see this in Acts 4:31, they had already been totally immersed into the Holy Ghost, yet it happens again. This is because it is something that can keep happening to the beleiver. why it has to happen more than once, I'm not sure, God knows. But from Scripture we can see that it does happen. |

Yes he is saying we shall, because they asked him, what can we do to have this, and he told them what to do, and said do that and you shall. All of God's promises are yes and amen we know that. He said they shall, because they were seeking it. And Peter knew that all you had to do was ask for it and you'd get it. Look at Acts 4:31, here we have believers who were filled with the Holy Ghost according to Acts 2:4, yet the bible says here they were filled, this shows they did not have all they needed at the new birth. |

When I say that the immersion will help us to live a successful life I am talking about Acts 1 when Jesus said that we would recieve power when the Holy Ghost had come upon us. I am saying that power of God, will lead to success in your life. Living in God's will is always going to bring success. |

Acts is the basis for this discussion. I am drawing a distinction from being baptized BY the Holy Spirit, which is what has happed at the new birth, to being baptized INTO the Spirit. Everyone who is born again has the Spirit, that doesn't mean they are immersed into it. Read Acts 4:31, if they had all they needed at the new birth, whats going on here? |

We'll continue this below! | ||||||
48 | The possible hindrance agsinst being use | 2 Cor 8:12 | miller521 | 194401 | ||
Acts 1 and 2 we are told that 'you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence' Acts 2:4 tells us they were all filled with the Holy Ghost. Acts 4 shows us that it happened to them yet again ( which is whwere I ask if they had all the needed at the new birth where did this come from ) And Baptized BY the spirit, comes from 1 Cor 12:13 |

Let me try to put it another way. If the Spirit baptizes us INTO the Body of Christ, it is the Holy Spirit who is at work to place us into that Body. If I am baptized WITH the Holy Ghost, I am saying I am immersed with the Holy Ghost. If I baptize you with water, I would immerse you into the water.I would dunk you all the way under, because I am immersing you. Like a submarine, a submersible ( spelling sorry ) So the distinction is one of great importance, in Corinithians we are being told about the Spirits work in our life, how He is baptizing us into the Body of Christ. In Acts we are talking about ourselves being baptized into the Spirit. I'm not sure how else to phrase it. But I'll ask you again, if a believer has all of the Holy Ghost they need at the new birth, what is going on in Acts 4, were they not born again yet? |

Then what happend in Acts chapter 4? If they had all they needed, what happened there? | ||||||
51 | The possible hindrance agsinst being use | 2 Cor 8:12 | miller521 | 194434 | ||
We know that Peter is in Acts 4, we know that he and others are threatened, and we know that they leave and go back to their own company, their companions so to speak. And we know they pray for boldness, and we know that they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak the Word with boldness. We know Peter is in that group, the scripture is clear on that. So if he had everything he needed when he was Born again when Jesus ascended then why did he need to get filled in Acts 2:4 and why did he get filled againt in Acts chapter 4? And whats up with the posts not showing on the front page? |

I understand what you are trying to say. However the Scripture clearly says the house was shaken and they were all filled, its showing us events that are taking place. Its like me saying last night it rained and the basement was filled with water. I'm telling you that those events transpired at the same time. | ||||||
53 | Are there any true prophets/prophetss' t | Eph 4:11 | miller521 | 194443 | ||
In the book of Acts we see that there were prophets. If they needed them then, we need them now. The Bible does not say that any of that is no longer here today. I don't have a scripture to back that up, but I challenge anyone to find a Scripture which says 'Prophets are no longer needed' | ||||||

I don't understand what you are getting here, that he was not a prophet correct? | ||||||
56 | Would Jesus be considered a prophet? | Eph 4:11 | miller521 | 194622 | ||
I thought through it, and I'm wondering if people believe Jesus was a prophet, I've heard people say we do not need prophets because we already have the Word, but the Jews had the Word too, Jesus himself read from the scrolls in the temple. So giving that the argument is that we already have God's word so we need nothing further, then the entire idea that JEsus was a prophet is redundant. | ||||||
57 | Are there any true prophets/prophetss' t | Eph 4:11 | miller521 | 194623 | ||
Acts 13:1 shows us there were 'prophets and teachers' in the town of Antioch. That proves that there were prophets in the early church, and unless we are suppose to disregard the book of Acts and act differently than the early church, I'd safely say yes, they are relevant to today. | ||||||
58 | Are there any true prophets/prophetss' t | Eph 4:11 | miller521 | 194624 | ||
Yes I have. Are you saying because he talked in times past by his prophets that he never will again? | ||||||
59 | Would Jesus be considered a prophet? | Eph 4:11 | miller521 | 194629 | ||
Acts 13:1 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. If Jesus was the last prophet, we have a big contradiction right here. |

Just because he said they shall case, does not mean it has already ceased. If we say that they are ceased now , then lets read that whole scripture. Charity never faileth: but whether [there be] prophecies, they shall fail; whether [there be] tongues, they shall cease; whether [there be] knowledge, it shall vanish away. So you woul dhave to agree that knowledge is vanished away too? That would be an absurd thought, to think that there is no more knowledge in this world. But if we keep reading, we know that when that which is perfect is come, those things will vanish away. Jesus is perfect, and at the time the author wrote that, Jesus had not yet returned for his church, and he still hasn't today, so that which is perfect has still not come. |
