AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above--spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us]. [Rom 1:20] |

Bible Note: Tim, you say "Yet, the example of Cornelius doesn't occur in the order you profess. They were saved first, then baptized as a result of their salvation - not as a condition of their salvation." Please justify your statement with scripture. Those in Cornelius' household were saved by the words Peter spoke, which included the command to be baptized in water, which to be consistent with other plain scriptures is the point at which they were saved. Based on our discussions, you must feel that you have been baptized by the Holy Spirit. Were the manifestations of your baptism the same as those recorded in Acts 2 and Acts 10/11?
