1 | IS TONGUES FOR TODAY? | 1 Cor 14:5 | HamsteRulz | 54898 | ||
EdB, First, Please forgive me for refering to the Holy Spirit as It. I did not realize what I had typed, but I do not believe there is a "Trinity" as I have stated before. Second, In all respects, you cannot avoid the Scriptures of Acts 8:17 or Acts 10:47 were people actually received the Holy Ghost(Spirit). Baptized in the Greek/Hebrew language means to submerge or to completely consume. Therefore, what the Bible is stating is that you are consumed by the Holy Spirit and we like the apostles refer to it as receiving the Holy Ghost. Third, I ask you who is the Comforter? The Comforter is the Holy Ghost as we read in John 14:16,26. Yes, belief in Jesus is the basis of Salvation but it goes deeper then just belief. It goes into baptism in Jesus name, receiving the Holy Ghost by evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance, and then not conforming back to the world but living a righteous and holy life or should I say a continuing walk with God. |

HamsteRulz Absolutely the Holy Spirit is part of the trinity. How else do you explain Jesus being baptised and the Holy Spirit decending as a dove and the Father saying this is my Son. If you can't see three what can I say. Your right also upon salvation we do recieve the Holy Spirit or Comforter as Jesus promised. However not everyone talks in tongues. In fact some never do. We only talk in tongues when we yield our will to the Holy Spirits and allow Him to speak through us. If we never yield He won't talk but that doesn't mean the person is not saved. Or are you adding another requirement to salvation? That we must talk with tongues to be saved. EdB |

There is more than just one requirement for salvation. If you just believe in Jesus and you are saved then what are you being saved from ... you still have sin in your life, you still live a terrible life, and you put no more interest in God than just, "Oh, yea i believe He is up there." Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Luke 13:3,5 say something like if you have sin in your heart you are going to perish? Now, the Bible does say that when you believe you are saved as we see in John 3:16 and Acts 16:31 but it doesn't stop there. Jesus said the same thing in John 3:3, but Jesus went a little further and said that in order to be born again you must be born of the water and of the Spirit(John 3:5). Peter did all of us a favor and sumed up Salvation in Acts 2:38 when he said Repent and be Baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. That is Salvation. I didnt make it up. It's in the Bible. | ||||||

"VI. THE CONDITION FOR SALVATION "A. The Condition. Salvation is conditioned solely on faith in Jesus Christ. Nearly 200 times faith, or belief, is stated as the single condition in the N.T. (John 1:12; Acts 16:31). That faith must be placed in Christ as one's substitute for and Saviour from sin. (...) "B. The False Additions to Faith. Through the ages other requirements in addition to faith have been wrongly added." One of these is: (...) "2. Baptism. Baptism is the visible testimony to one's salvation, but not a condition for it. Acts 2:38 should be translated, 'Repent and be baptized on the basis of the remission of sins.' Acts 22:16 teaches that baptism followed the arising, just as forgiveness followed the calling on the name of the Lord. The two parts of the verse should be kept distinct. Mark 16:16 is probably not a genuine part of Mark's Gospel" (p. 1950, Ryrie Study Bible, Moody Press, 1978). |
