1 | why was the thief saved without baptism? | Luke 23:43 | Hank | 132694 | ||
Country Girl: You spoke of the commonality among Christians of "watery" baptism, but you didn't address the baptism of the Holy Spirit. What have you (better, what does Scripture have) to say to that? How does Scripture define the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and who receives it and when do they receive it? --Hank | ||||||
2 | why was the thief saved without baptism? | Luke 23:43 | Country Girl | 132697 | ||
You've probably already figured out that I believe only the Apostles, Cornelius and his family actually received the baptism of the Holy Spirit as those (Acts 2 and 10) are the only clear instances where people received such an unusual event. All other manifestations or demonstrations of miraculous powers from people other than the Apostles received those powers from the Apostles by the laying on the Apostles' hands. Consequently I believe the one single baptism that is available to everyone and thus must have been the one discussed by Paul is that of the watery grave of baptism as depicted in Rom 6. Do you have Scripture depicting something else? Blessings to you. Country Girl |

Amen, dear friend, Amen!! That's my point. The ONLY baptism that we can KNOW for certain that ALL christians can and should take part in is the watery grave of baptism as suggested by Jesus Words to Nicodemus. Thanks for the supportive scripture. Country Girl |
