Bible Answer: Did anyone backup their order with scripture? I'll add missing events. Hear the Word Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. Holy Spirit's convicting the sinner Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Faith Acts 8:36-37 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Repent Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins (also shows the proper order for repent) Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance as evidence of receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost John 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. Regeneration, meaning spiritual birth, spiritual renovation, messanic restoration Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Salvation I would say is not an event to be put in this order but rather a description of the entire process. Acts 2:41-42 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. Thank you Jesus!!! Praise the Lord! Norm |
