1 | What does water baptism do? | Matt 3:15 | 2ndSamuel22 | 52642 | ||
Dear Makarios, Let us not forget Acts 11: Acts 11:15 "And as I[Peter] began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them just as He did upon us at the beginning. Acts 11:16 "And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He used to say, 'John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'" Just curious, what exactly does your name, Makarios, mean? Continue in praise, lifting up holy hands!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

2 | What does water baptism do? | Matt 3:15 | Makarios | 52645 | ||
Greetings 2nd Samuel 22! Thank you for citing Acts 11:15-16. As for my username "Makarios"... "The Greek word 'makarios' (mak-ar'-ee-os) means 'blessed', 'well off', and 'fortunate' (Ex: Matthew 5:7)." (Taken from my User Profile) For my first 1,780 posts, I used "Nolan Keck", which is my real name, for my Username. From there and up to post# 1,920, I used "Nicodemus" as a Username. But then I changed it back to simply "Nolan Keck". Many fellow Forum members graciously e-mailed me, and I appreciated that! But at the same time, I began to recieve many e-mailings from people of whom I had never met on the Forum, asking me questions.. So I again saw the need to have an 'alias', and I chose "Makarios", to change my Username for the last and final time, at around post# 3,100. I chose "Makarios" as a Username because I have been greatly blessed by the Lord during my short lifetime! I like your Username, 2nd Samuel 22! Blessings to you, and let us continue in praise, lifting our hands to the Lord! Makarios |
