Subject: Jesus name of the Father, Son and H/Ghos |
Bible Note: cajam - Of course, "experiential" theology proves nothing unless it is solidly founded on Scripture. [See 2 Timothy 3:16]. ..... In whose name were you baptized in the Baptist church as a young adult? As far as I know, Baptists have always baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Assuming you were baptized the same way in the Baptist church you allude to, why was that baptism insufficient for you? Why did you need to be baptised again in the name of Jesus only? Do you deny Matthew 28:19,20? ..... And you say that about a month subsequent to your second water baptism in the name of Jesus only, God filled you with the Holy Ghost. Describe your experience and tell me why the filling of the Holy Spirit came a month or so after your Jesus-only baptism. ..... Scripture teaches that the indwelling of the Holy Spirit occurs simulaneous with regeneration. When were you regenerated -- at some point before your first "Baptist" baptism or at the time of it, or at some later time when you became involved with the Apostolic Pentecostal Church? What in your theological system constitutes spiritual regeneration, or the new birth? I don't want to read vague and evasive answers to these questions based on nothing more than your spiritual "experiences" and opinions. Give us clear and solid biblical references in their proper context that teach what you believe and teach. Lacking positive scriptural support, any experiences you describe and any beliefs you promulgate on the pages of this forum are no more reliable than the run-of-the-mill super-market tabloids. Unless you are now able to defend your faith on solid scriptural doctrine, my advice to you is that you stop posting on this forum until you can. --Hank |
