1	Third Heaven, Inexpressable Things?	2 Cor 12:2	arrow1	117582
	In 2 Cor 12:2, what is the third heaven, and what were the inexpressable things he heard?
2	When were Apostles saved?	Acts 11:15	arrow1	116597
	Did the Spirit falling on the Apostles at Pentecost have the exact same purpose as it did when it fell on Cornelius and his household? In other words, were the Apostles saved before or after the Spirit fell on them? (refer to question from 2-27-04, 3:34pm) thanks. arrow1
3	Where does it say that?	NT general Archive 1	arrow1	116296
	ischus, Where does it say faith must precede repentance,(I'm not saying it doesn't, just show me a verse)? where does it say baptism comes "way" after all of these? where does it say baptism is a commitment made to God?, verses please. arrow1
4	Isn't that what you just said?	NT general Archive 1	arrow1	115285
	If repentance is a synonym for faith then isn't it also a requirement, you believe Acts 2:38 says repent for the forgiveness of sins, so how can it not be a requirement. 2 Corinth. 7:10 and Acts 3:19 seem to say it's required. Also, why can't baptism be a conditon for salvation if viewed as a synonym for faith. Couldn't "saving faith" simply be obeying the command to be "baptized for the forgiveness of sins" ???
5	2nd ? Did Spirit save them?	Bible general Archive 2	arrow1	115165
	2nd question, When the Holy Spirit fell on the apostles at pentecost, was that to save them or just to give them the ability to speak in tongues? If it was just to give the ability, then, obviously they were already saved.

7	What was purpose of spirit falling??	Bible general Archive 1	arrow1	115100
	At Pentecost, did the holy spirit fall on the 12 apostles in order to save them or were they already saved??
8	Is page 58 a problem?	2 Tim 3:16	arrow1	114425
	Does anyone have a problem with Page 58 in this book, and why or why not? Thanks, arrow1
9	please respond?	Acts 2:38	arrow1	114319
	Could someone please respond to my note left for morant61 posted Mon 03/1/04 Thanks
10	Has speaking in tongues ceased?	1 Corinthians	arrow1	114195
	I'm curious if anyone believes 1 Corinthians 13:8-13 is saying miraculous gifts such as speaking in tongues are done away with? One thing in scripture is that the Apostles placed their hands on people and gave the gift, but once received, those people were never able to pass it on to anyone else. Thus I believe it died off with the last Apostle, and wasn't necessary once the church had been started.
11	where is time frame for baptism?	1 John 5:6	arrow1	113682
	Where exactly does Bible specify time frame for baptism to occur? As long as you asked the question, I'll give an answer. You are not going to like it, I realize we have differing points of view and I respect that. Here goes The time frame is simple if one takes the Bible literally, Baptized for the forgiveness of sins, what are you waiting for be baptized and wash your sins away, buried with Him through baptism, baptized into Christ, on hearing this they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus, immediately he and all his family were baptized, baptism now saves you also, it saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, He saved us by the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. If taken literally the time frame is and was immediate. I would challenge you to quote one scripture which "specifically" speaks of a yet unbaptized person who was "saved", "born again", "washed clean of sins", "made a new creature in Christ", "considered a believer", or "filled with joy because of their belief". Please name just one that fits any of the above descriptions specifically. Side comment: For sure the time frame is 24 hours or less, at least as a biblical example, (obviously there could have been persons who put it off longer, but there is no scriptural record of it). If that is the Biblical example, if someone is born again and is 100 percent committed to following the Lord, why would they put off something (we would both agree is not optional for a true believer) even one day, much less a month or a year?
12	baptism important ,why the delay?	1 John 5:6	arrow1	113668
	I've never tried to imply baptism begets faith. Obviously you must hear and believe first prior to developing faith and then moving on to repenting, being baptized, doing good works, etc. Obviously also having faith is not a one time event. Once saved, you continue to grow in your faith, hopefully. You must continue having faith throughout your entire life. Of course there are weak and strong beleivers and that's the purpose of the church, to build each other up in "the faith". My whole point in much of my debates with other Christians(on this particular subject)is what is the Gospel and what should our response to it be, based on the Bible. Becoming a Christian obviously has a starting point. I simply look at the accounts in Acts and how the church started and it seems so clear. How about this? Look at every account of specific people becoming christians in Acts. What was their immediate response to the Gospel in each and every case. If that was their response, what must they have been told. Now, look at the typical conversion today. Someone answers an altar call or says the "sinners prayer". That's nice and all, but notice how dramatically different those coversions are compared to the Biblical examples. And that leads to my main question for which I wanted a specific answer. Why is it that today, someone comes to faith in Christ, and then is water baptized months and often times years later, why is that? Let's drop the debate on the specific point of salvation for now, but please answer that question. Why is it so acceptable today to put off a command of Jesus(it is part of the Great Commission) for months and years. Again are people taught improperly, are the lazy, I just would like to know.
13	baptism summed up.......	1 John 5:6	arrow1	113636
	Makarios, importance of baptism? Last thing you said was baptism summed up in Romans 6:4. Well that verse clearly says we are buried with Him in baptism,(placed into Christ, clothed with Christ in baptism). It cleary does not say baptism is a symbol. Romans 6:3-7 says in baptism we are actually participating in his death, burial, and resurrection. MY point exactly. We are saved by Grace through Faith at Baptism..............
14	please answer the ?	1 John 5:6	arrow1	113635
	I guess I appreciate your reply. But you in no way answered my question. Again why is it so acceptable today to put off water baptism, when in the Bible it was immediate and obviously very important?
15	please answer the ?	1 John 5:6	arrow1	113634
	I guess I appreciate your reply. But you in no way answered my question. Again why is it so acceptable today to put off water baptism, when in the Bible it was immediate and obviously very important?
16	previous ? 3:34pm	Acts 11:15	arrow1	113417
	Okay, quick answer, how about answering my previous question from today at 3:34 pm central time
17	grace, faith, baptism	Gal 3:27	arrow1	113415
	Doesn't this verse state, "saved by grace thru faith at baptism"?????????
18	previous question	Acts 11:15	arrow1	113409
	Also, I meant previous ? to refer to Acts 10:47
19	Was cornelius saved by spirit	Acts 11:15	arrow1	113406
	Sorry, I forgot to ask a question on this earlier. My question was, Was Cornelius saved when the Spirit came upon him or later when he was baptized?
20	Cornelius not saved when Spirit fell.	Acts 11:15	arrow1	113395
	Notice the spirit fell on them just as it did on "us"(the 12 apostles)at the beginning. Not as it came on the 3,000, or on lydia, or on the eunich, or on the 5,000, or the jailer, but on "us" at pentecost. John 20:22 states He breathed on them and said "receive the holy spirit". Now for sure the apostles were saved and had the spirit. They didn't receive it at pentecost to get saved,(they already were saved), but in order to speak in tongues. When Cornelius had the Spirit come on him, it wasn't to save him but to show the others that the gospel could be preached to Gentiles as well (that was the whole point of Peter's dream, to show that God would grant even Gentiles the opportunity to repent and be saved). When the spirit caused John the Baptist to leap in his mothers womb, did that save him?When the holy spiriit caused Elizabeth to say "blessed are you Mary among women", did that save her?When the donkey in the old testament was filled with the spirit and spoke, was it now saved? No, these were all simply workings of the spirit. Notice in verse 11:15 of Acts the Spirit came on them as Peter "began" to speak. Surely they could not be saved prior to hearing the message and then beleiving and repenting.
