So, are you saying that the only ones who have the unadulterated word, whole counsel of God, are those who have a working knowledge of the Greek language?

I would say that that settles in for a cult mentality; in which those who have a working knowledge of the Greek become the cult-leaders since they are the only ones who know what the Bible really says.

Peter did not tell them to do a work of righteousness to be saved..

Right.

Because baptism is not a work.

He definitely said that "remission of sins and the gift of the Holy Ghost" (salvation) would be the result of repentance and baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.

Is it your contention that "remission of sins and the gift of the Holy Ghost" isn't salvation?

Because if not, I don't see how you can believe that Acts 2:38-39 doesn't teach baptismal regeneration.

Am doing so...

I am able to because I have the Holy Spirit...

Because I have fulfilled the condition for the promise of receiving Him.

What man-made religion?

There is nothing that I have yet to do in order to be saved...

You ain't Jesus tho. Guess you forgot that. smh

I ain't Paul either.

It doesn't mean that my argument doesn't stand...

That since they both said "my doctrine" and their doctrine was biblical, that therefore my doctrine is not unbiblical because I call it "my doctrine".

but you have now revealed you are secretly working in a Calvary Chapel to persuade those believers into your false gospel.

The Bible has quite a bit to say about someone who does this and it is quite condemnatory in nature.

Where does the Bible mention Calvary Chapel?

90% of what you're spouting is made from your imagination... I don't know why you hate Jesus so much that you'd do such things, or why you resist the Holy Spirit... I suspect "vain-glory", the glory of self.
You, you, you... it's all about what you've done to procure salvation... you just don't get it.

Everything I preach, I have gotten from reading my Bible.

And I do not hate Jesus...He is my Lord and my Saviour.

And since, in 715 posts, no one has been able to refute my contentions with scripture, how am I resisting the Holy Spirit in not changing my point of view?

I could see it if there was scripture to contradict my point of view...

Acts 2:40-41 And with many other words he solemnly testified and kept on exhorting them, saying, "Be saved from this perverse generation!" 41 So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls.

It sure seems like the scriptures put added after they were baptized.

In Christ our Lord,

Were they added because they repemnted and believed.. or were they added because they were baptized?
