2 | 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. |
||||||
3 | 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?? | ||||||
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 | 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 |

6 | 1st 400 yrs. "all" agreed on John 3:5 | John 3:5 | arrow1 | 113236 | ||
I would like someone to quote just once during the first 400 years of Christianity anytime, anywhere, anyone referring to John 3:5 as referring to something other than water baptism, if that's the incorrect interpretation, surely one person would have complained about it! | ||||||
7 | Please answer the question directly. | John 3:5 | arrow1 | 113293 | ||
Dear Tim Moran, Thanks for not answering my question, again surely someone would complain on such an important doctrine had it been incorrect. Who better to interpret scripture than people who lived during or shortly after the time of the apostles, and who were instructed in the "traditions handed down by word of mouth or by letter" directly from the apostles. Also, compare Matthew 26:28 with Acts 2:38, "same exact phrase" in greek and in english. Surely Jesus did not die because are sins are already forgiven but in order to forgive them. Why is there "no English translation anywhere" stating baptism because of forgiveness if that's what it supposedly is saying? |

8 | Hank, all I need is just one quote. | John 3:5 | arrow1 | 113343 | ||
Hank, Have you ever heard of Justin Martyr, Polycarp, Tertullian, Origen, Clement, Cyprian, Read their writings, they all agreed saved by grace through faith at baptism. The Nicene Creed, written prior to the canonization of the Bible in 325 AD states "one baptism for the forgiviness of sins". The Nicene Creed also established the doctrine of the Trinity(I assume you believe in that)My gosh, the guys who decided what books go in the NT all beleived water baptism as essential to salvation. My challenge to you is this, quote me just one guy, a priest, church historian, Pastor, elder, deacon, a slave, a roman pagan, just anyone at all who lived in the 1st or 2nd century who believed in "faith alone" apart from baptism, just one. |

9 | Acts 2:38, why people delay baptism | Acts 2:38 | arrow1 | 113353 | ||
I recently read the Purpose Driven Life. In it he states there are "no" delayed baptisms in the Bible. If there are "none" in the Bible, why are there "any" today. In fact being baptized is commonly put off months if not years in most churches. If you substitute Peter's sermon in all of the conversion stories(spoke the word of Lord to him, began with that passage of scripture and told about Jesus, opened her heart to respond to Paul's message, he told the people to beleive in the one coming after him that is Jesus, etc. I think they all responded to the message by being baptized immediately because "that was the message" they all heard. When sharing our faith today, no one ever hears Peter's sermon. Insted they hear "pray jesus into your heart", or accept Christ as their personal saviour so that is all they do. Different sermon evokes a different response. Doesn't it make sense that everyone would have the same response to the Gospel message that the people in Acts did if they all heard the same message today as well! | ||||||
10 | please respond? | Acts 2:38 | arrow1 | 114319 | ||

11 | 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. |

12 | 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? |
||||||
13 | previous question | Acts 11:15 | arrow1 | 113409 | ||

14 | 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 | ||||||
15 | 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 |

16 | 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. | ||||||

||||||
20 | 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? | ||||||
