AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 2:38 And Peter said to them, "Repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways, accept and follow Jesus as the Messiah] and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ because of the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. |
Subject: Who may receive the baptism of the H.S.? |
Bible Note: In your gospel message above I have 2 problems. 1. Where in the Bible do you find "The Sinners Prayer". I have never seen it in 35 years as a Christian. 2. Why do you leave out Baptism? While you discuss it very strongly when you show that this was the Apostolic practice you advise in your second paragraph something else -- an unbiblical sinners prayer. It is very dangerous to change the gospel of Christ! There is great risk in mistaking emotion for spirituality. People on an emotional high tend to think this is a spiritual experience but this emotional experience is used by Satan to deceive us into believing we have arrived before we have actually entered the gate. Locked outside we risk eternal condemnation. And remember Matthew 7:22-23 "" Many will say to Me on that day, "Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?'""And then I will declare to them, "I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'
