Greetings, Kin First of all Peter did not say “I NOW REALIZE”. He simply said “I REALIZE” (perceive). The “NOW” you quoted in Acts 10:34 does not exist in the NKJV or the KJV and is only in the NASB because it was added (italicized). But it does not matter if these were the very first Gentile believers or not. The point is: (1) Peter and his Jewish friends knew they could be saved. (2) They did not know if they could be baptized or not. (3) The believers were unquestionably saved before they were baptized. I know you have been under some hard teaching on this subject, bro, but don’t read something into the Word that is not there. Balance scripture with scripture. Any place water baptism is included with salvation that seems to say water baptism is required in addition to grace thru faith does not stand up when taken in context and when balanced with other scripture (i.e. Mark 16:16). Water baptism is a declaration of salvation, not a means of salvation. Example: I coach cross-country at a local high school. I coached a young man this year that won the state meet with a state record breaking time. If you asked me about the race, I might tell you that he won the race, set a state record, and receive a trophy declaring him 2001 state champion. If you become a cross-country coach some day and one of your kids comes up to you and ask you what they need to do to be state champion, you might tell them, well this is what retxar said, “win the race, set a state record, and receive a trophy that declares you state champion”. Well, all you are telling this kid is true, and if they did this they would certainly be the state champ. However, if they have nothing else to go on, they could win the race and still not believe they are the state champion unless they also break the state record, and then only when, and if, they get a trophy that says so. In reality tho, they would be state champion the very instant their foot crossed the finish line. The trophy would just be a declaration of that fact. Water baptism has the same relationship to salvation. It is a declaration of our salvation, not a means of salvation. Jesus Saves!!! retxar |

365 | Where are muslims in the Bible? | Ex 20:3 | retxar | 21113 | ||
The Arabs ancestry is traced to Abraham thru Ishmael. Many Arabs are Muslims but that does not mean the Islamic religion has any biblical basis and it certainly did not originate with Ishmael. Religion and ancestry are two totally different things. The Islamic religion and it’s god Allah was the invention of Muhammad around 600 AD. It never existed before that. The only scripture reference that could possible be talking of the Islamic religion or Muhammad would be Mat 7:15, Mat 24:11, 2Pe 2:1, etc. One Way, that’s Jesus!! retxar |

Hi Kin, I thought this horse died? Let's beat it one more time to make sure! Acts 10:47-48 is YET ANOTHER example of water baptism being a work to follow salvation. To be baptized into the body of Christ is an act of grace thru faith unto salvation, NOT water baptism. How could this example you have given here be more clear that the believers were saved before water baptism??? How could anyone force any other conclusion??? Act 10:47 "Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized WHO HAVE RECEIVED (notice past tense) the Holy Spirit just as we have?" How could they WHO HAVE RECEIVED the Holy Spirit NOT be saved??? NO WAY, NO HOW could they NOT be saved! This incident occurred some 8 years after Pentecost. No doubt many Gentiles had received salvation before this time because of what Peter said in Acts 10:35: "But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness IS ACCEPTED (NOT, will be accepted) by Him. The Jewish believers who came with Peter were not surprised at God saving the Gentiles, but that God poured out the Holy Spirit upon the Gentiles in the same manner as He poured out the Holy Spirit on the Jews at Pentecost. It is obvious that no Gentiles had received water baptism before this time, but many had been saved as Peter indicated in verse 9-10. Jesus saves! retxar |

368 | Is there an 'online' study guide | Ephesians | retxar | 20975 | ||
Try http://cf.blueletterbible.org/commentaries/ The commentaries there that include Ephesians are: Jamieson, Fausett and Brown, David Guzik, Matthew Henry, Chuck Smith, and Ray Stedman. Of these, I would recommend the David Guzik commentary for Ephesians. God Bless, retxar |

370 | Thanks, but... | Psalm | retxar | 20391 | ||
Well I’m not sure if the NT is silent on musical instruments in worship or not. Rom 15:9b is a quote of Psa 18:49. "For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles, And sing to Your name." The Greek word for sing here is “psallo” which means “to twitch or twang, i.e. to play on a stringed instrument, celebrate the divine worship with music and accompanying odes”. So I think the singing described here could mean with voice and instrument. Psallo is also used in 1Co 14:15, Eph 5:19, and James 5:13. Just a thought! Praise Him! retxar |

371 | Faith apart from reading the Bible? | Rom 10:17 | retxar | 20345 | ||
Hi Steve, One can certainly come to Jesus without reading it out of the Bible. God reveals Himself thru His Word, but many times His Word confirms what He has already revealed to our hearts; as in your case. To believe otherwise would be to deny the power of the Holy Spirit to speak to us. What He reveals to us will ALWAYS line up with the Word. In Christ Jesus, retxar P.S. I know you were only re-posting what had been posted to you, so I’m not talking to you, bro, but Christians should ask themselves if they want to use the word “darn” or not. It is only an alteration of damn and has no different meaning or connotation (look it up). If we would not say damn we should not substitute with the word darn (the way I see it anyway). Thanks bro, retxar. |

372 | Musical instruments in Worship? | Psalm | retxar | 20300 | ||
Does the NT mention Sunday School? How about Wednesday night prayer meeting? How about special father's and mother's day services? How about pastors appreciation day? How about the sinners prayer? How about vacation bible school? What about study bibles? How about study bible forums? etc, etc, etc. The prohibting of musical instruments to Praise the Lord is an unfounded belief. Jesus said even the rocks could praise Him! (Luk 19:40). Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD! (Psa 150:6) Praise the LORD!!!, retxar |

373 | What is the account we will give? | Rom 14:12 | retxar | 20293 | ||
All Christians must stand before the judgment seat of Christ (Rom_14:10, 2Co_5:10). Salvation is grace thru faith, apart from works (Eph_2:8-9). However, we may receive a greater or less reward, according to our works for Christ. Our reward will be according to what we have done and also the intent of our heart (2Co_5:10). That is the meaning of us giving an account of ourselves to God here in Rom_14:12. Paul was addressing the problem of us standing in judgement of others. When we are standing before the judgement seat of Christ, we will not give an account for others, and others will not give an account of us. Heb_6:10 says "For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister." Remember, the purpose of us standing before the judgment seat of Christ is so God can REWARD us, not judge us. Jesus Saves, retxar |

You said, and I quote: "Yes, I agree with Rextar. Her answer was correct, because she had been married five times, and the man she was currently living with was not her husband." Thanks for agreeing with me Tim! However, I am not a her, I have been married only once, and the "man" I am living with now just happens to be my lovely wife, so you better get new glasses buddy!
