Bible Question:
jcsav, In post 142745 you said "Simeon believed and was Baptized. Did that make him saved. No. Maybe he got it together later on." I presume you mean Simon, not Simeon (Luk 2:25-34; Act 13:1, 15:14). Some doubt his salvation was not real based on verses 18-24. But, I think he was in the quandry Paul mentions in Romans 7:14-25 or may not of understood completely what was going on. He had certain powers before (vs 10) and they may have been gone and wanted something back. Verse 24 shows me he got it together right away. Searcher |
Bible Answer: Sorry, yes I meant Simon. And where did you think he recieved his power from. Yes he lost his power but it was not because he recieved the Holy Ghost. It was because the Gospel was preached. And what he says in Verse 24 do not mean his heart had changed when he said it. Spirits must be judged by the Spirit of God not by the hearing of the hear. Again I opoligize for saying Simeon and not Simon. |
