I absolutely agree with Acts 2:38. It is not necessary to be saved or to receive the Holy Spirit! Luke 24:49 "And behold, I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high." John 1:33 "I did not recognize Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.' John 14:16 "I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; John 15:26 "When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify about Me, John 16:7 "But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. John 16:13 "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. Acts 2:33 "Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured forth this which you both see and hear. 1 John 2:27 As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him. There is no pre-requisite to receive the Holy Spirit other than to believe on Christ Jesus! And NOWHERE is it ever a requirement to speak in tongues of any kind! In Love, Mike p.s. I apologize, I think many of us took this topic off on our own and did not answer the original question. |

Mike, Copious application of 2 Timothy 2:15 will head off allot of things. We just can't get sentimental when handling God's Word. The answers are there, we just gotta let God,s Word speak and check our attitudes at the door. In Him, lionheart |

Lionheart, "senseless wranglings" have to do with the Law and untruths about Christ, His death and resurrection. I would hope that someone would correct me if I stray into this. I come to this forum mostly to read posts and learn. There are some topics which I am more passionate about mostly because this is more my calling and how God geared me. I would think most on here are teachers, and are very passionate (sentimental) about that. Many are evangelists (we are all called to be) and I don't think they could spend five minutes on here before needing to call someone and tell them about Christ, while others are to busy thinking about how the chairs are to be set up for tonight's service (if you disagree with that guy, prepare to get an earful). God gifted all of us and made us passionate about that calling, but if I came off as arrogant or having an attitude, I apologize to those whom I've offended. I do tend to boast about what God is doing in and through my life, sometimes it comes across like I am boasting in myself (not good). I like to think He uses me just because He likes me :) In Love, Mike |

Dear Mike, You are correct, the "useless wranglings" when read in context can surly be seen as you have stated, but just as v16 it also can and should be taken with a much broader application. We should indeed, in all cases, be diligent to study and know the Scriptures, and it is never a good thing to wrangle about semantics or be too pedantic about our views. I have to say though, I haven't seen occasion to admonish you about your "attitude", thus far, and though you don't necessarily agree with all other views, you have shown to be quite graceful and respectful, at least as far as I can see. Although, that may not be very far, but I do try. :-) John |
