I could react to the scripture you correctly quoted, but I doubt you know about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. What I will address is your ignoring of the 120 JEWISH (not Greek) believers of Acts 2, referenced in my post. Weren't they first? Just curious, but when Jesus told His disciples to " receive ye the Holy Ghost " in John 16 He did something first. What was it?
First of all, those 120 Jews could be from "every nation under heaven", according to not me, but Act 2:5 - "And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven"; second, "Greek saved first" was applied on a NATIONAL level, not an individual level. The gospel will be rejected by the majority of Jews until all the Gentile nations receive it and Christ returns.
"JEWS, devout mem, from EVERY nation under heaven." were at the feast of Pentecost, AFTER the 120 were in the upper room in Jerusalem. There is no mention of Gentiles being in THAT number, they were Jewish and if, as you believe, no one was saved until Acts 2, then the Holy Spirit fell on the 120 FIRST. The FIRST saved were JEWISH. You can dance around that all you want. IT'S TO THE JEW FIRST., either individually or nationally." For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; TO THE JEW FIRST, and ALSO TO THE GREEK." Romans 1:16 P.S. You didn't answer the question of what Jesus did BEFORE he told His disciples to " receive ye the Holy Ghost "
Since "Jews" were from every nation under heaven defined by the bible itself, how do you know the 120 in the upper room were all natives and not "from every nation under heaven"? There were plenty Samarians, Canaanites even Romans accepted Jesus as the Messiah, who are you to exclude them all from His disciples?
It would seem to me that, in a world where there is no pollution would be a world where there is no wasted energy. For example, in an energy efficient automobile, there would be no exhaust coming out its tailpipe.
I posted that the 120 in the upper room were Jews who first experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit BECAUSE IT'S (as the Bible says) TO THE JEW FIRST! What about that don't (or can't you) understand? " To Him give all the prophets witness, that through His name whosoever believeth in Him shall receive remission of sins. While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. And THEY OF THE CIRCUMCISION (Jews) which (already) believed WERE ASTONISHED, as many as came with Peter, because that ON THE GENTILES ALSO WAS POURED OUT THE GIFT OF THE GHOST. ( How did they know?) For they heard them (Gentiles) speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, Can any man forbid water, that these (Gentiles) should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost AS WELL AS WE(Jews) Acts 10:44-47. (parenthesis mine) If Gentiles were in the upper room as part of the 120, as you opine, why were they of the circumcision "astonished" when the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Gentiles? This proved that only Jews had heretofore received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I can't continue to go back and forth with you if you don't or refuse to agree with scripture. Have a good night. P.S. You still didn't answer the question.
I have faithfully abided by the Scripture's own definition of "Jews" in this context, it is you who keeps arguing agaisnt it.
You posted that the Greeks were first saved, whether individually or nationally and, by scripture, that is simply not true.
