Bible Question (short): Acts 2:38 not water baptism? |
Question (full): Acts 2:38 not talking about water baptism? Whoa! Ric, you are brave:-) More than a few Christians might take issue with that statement. So Peter was saying that 'be baptized' and 'the gift of the Holy Spirit' were two separate things? Look at "For He had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus." Acts 8:16, and "And as they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, "Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?""Acts 8:36. In any case, you are still focusing on my question being a dogma of water baptism. I am asking about the power and efficacy of the name of Jesus. So, your answer is that we are to do all things in Jesus' name but water baptism? Are there other (optional, non-salvational) things we should do in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit? Friend (truly!), I am only taking your opinions to the next logical step. I am not making fun of you any more than I try to look at myself with honesty. On a side note, my study of the UPC and the 'Oneness' people, shows their view to be that Jesus superceded the Trinity. I do NOT believe this. I, too, am not a 'professional' Christian. I pray that I will never become one. Jesus and the disciples encouraged all believers to be ministers (servants), but did not have a lot of good things to say about 'professional religious persons.' With love in Jesus' name. |
