Bible Note: Hello Grace and Truth Of course Acts 8 is speaking of water. I was just trying to knock down this logical fallacy you are building. If we say Eph 4:5 is water baptism, then there is not nor ever has been Spirit baptism, which is a contradiction of Scripture that you've already been given. To avoid this contradiction, one would have to say that water and Spirit baptisms are synonomous and/or instantaneous at the time of immersion. But this can't be true because we have a documented case in Acts where the Holy Spirit indwelt the believers before baptism. It's bad enough that you attempt to prove that God added to the condition of salvation, but now you prove He's inconsistent in that new administration. Steve |
