Subject: Spiritual Gifts |
Bible Note: Hi jcsav, Thank you for these Scriptures. When you capitalize Gift are you saying that the Holy Spirit is that Person? Or is the Gift through the name of Jesus Christ in baptism? Is Jesus Christ that Gift? Since God gave His only begotten Son we receive the (g)Gift through the Father. How would that influence thinking about baptism and the (g)Gift here? 1) How about the word "promise" in this passage. What is the connection between Promise and Gift, or the promise and the Gift? 2) Or, is this a promised gift of holy spirit? [That is my position]. It is the spiritual words of Peter that were received and which caused them to be baptized. See verse 41. The people praised God and the Lord was calling to Himself those who were being saved. See verse 39 and 47. 3) Acts 2:35, "'Until I make Thine enemies a footstool for Thy feet.' 36 "Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him/ both Lord and Christ---this (Jesus) whom you crucified." 1 Cor 12:1, "Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware. 2 You know that when you were pagans, you were led astray to the dumb idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I make known to you, that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is accursed"; and no one can say "Jesus is Lord,"/ except by the Holy Spirit. 4 Now there are varieties of gifts but the same (Spirit)." The slashes and parentheses are mine for comparisons. 4) The people received Peter's words and the spirit that God was pouring out upon them. Acts 2:17. Acts 2:22, "Men of Israel, listen to these words: ,,," We have to learn about this Man, this Jesus who was crucified, and call upon His name to be saved. Acts 2:21. From the heart, Ray |
