Subject: jcsav, Why make unbiblical statements? |
Bible Note: You can be baptized in Jesus name only and yet have not recieved the Holy Spirit. The first step of Acts 2:38 is to repent. Scripture also backs this up. Acts 8:16 "For he had not yet fallen upon any of them, but they had only been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus." And it shows in verse 22 that Simon had not repented. |
