Subject: jcsav, Why isn't order "Spirit...water" |
Bible Note: First that was in the order that Jesus said it. It was the order in which Peter said it in Acts 2:38. Acts 8 the eunch was baptised with water before he received the Holy Ghost. Otherwise Phillp statement in verse 37, would have been necessary. Acts 8:16 "For he had not yet fallen upon any of them, but they had only been baptized into the name of Jesus Christ. That is also the order that it is Preached in our Churches. Rarely do God fill them first. But that is entirely in His control. |
