Yes! It's simple and can be summed up in a few verses and requirements 1. Belief and faith 2. Confession with the mouth of your belief as did the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8 and consistent with Romans 10:8-10 3. Repentance as were told the Jews on the day of Pentecost as recorded in Acts 2:38...

Does that mean I'm canceled? Boo hoo. Goodbye 1 Cor 13:8

Goodbye

Believe what you like. BUT, there are no spiritual gifts manifested today and haven't been since the death of the apostle's. There's no one performing miracles, healing people from various diseases, raising the dead, prophesying, etc; the only thing that's prevalent is a bunch of nonsensical...

No scripture says it emphatically but the scriptural records being our guide shows that. There are no recorded instances of it happening any other way aside from the 2 unique instances mentioned. Plus the inference is pretty overwhelming. Acts 8 13Then Simon himself believed also: and when he...

I thought we went through this previously. Only 2 accounts of the Holy Ghost falling on people without the laying on ofvthe apostle's hands and in both cases it was unique and for equally unique reasons. As a sign from God. 1st time on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Ghost fell on the 11...

It's not at the moment of acceptance and repentance that the Holy Ghost resides in you, but rather at the time of baptism into Christ which is the next and final step in the conversion/salvation process as delineated in Acts 2:38-47. There, the Jews believed, were told to repent, and be baptized...

Receiving the "gift" (singular) of the Holy Ghost as stated in Acts 2:38 is NOT the same as "gifts" (plural) of the Holy Ghost. One is singular and one is plural and it's a huge difference in meaning. Acts 2:38 means the Spirit itself, the indwelling of the Spirit that abides within each and...

"it was Jesus who said, you will receive power to be a witness of Him after the Holy Ghost comes upon you. Acts chapter 1:8 Jesus said this to those who already had the Holy Spirit inside them. Which we see in John chapter 20:22." The above which you quoted was referring to the 11 apostles, no...

Regarding The scripture in question, namely the Ananias scripture in Acts 9, it doesn't matter whatsoever because, as stated, he DID NOT, impart the Holy Spirit at all by the laying on of his hands; he only restored Paul's sight.

Bottom line since you keep dancing around. Paul DID NOT receive the Holy Spirit in any way shape or form via the laying on of Ananias' hands. He only received his sight as he stated in Acts 22. He did however, receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, the indwelling of the Spirit upon baptism which...

And what did Paul say in Acts 22:13 when he retold the account. "Receive thy sight" and not be "filled with the Holy Spirit". Ananias was correct in saying that Paul would also receive the Holy Spirit, but not by the laying on of his hands, but rather upon being baptized. Ananias simply restored...

It's super clear. Ananias laying of his hands did not impart the Holy Ghost as did the apostle's laying on of their hands, as you inferred, that he wasn't an apostle yet the Holy Ghost was imparted to Paul by the laying on of his hands; NOT SO. As Paul stated in Acts 22, Ananias was to ONLY...

The point is, you misinterpreted the Ananias issue.

Read the rest of my posting and carefully read what happened and what was said by him and Paul in Acts 22. It's pretty clear

Be careful in reading too much into this. You must look at what Ananias said as opposed to whst the Lord said for him to fo as well as Paul's recount of the event in Acts 22. Look at Acts 9:17-18 and what Ananias said and note that Paul was baptized afterwards at which point he did receive the...

2 Timothy 1:6 6Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands Paul was referring to himself being the presbytery who laid hands on Timothy in 1 Tim

2 Timothy 1:6 6Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands Paul was referring to himself being the presbytery who laid hands on Timothy in 1 Tim

Yes, but who is the presbytery Paul is referring to? I know but do you? The answer is in another scripture.

There are no requirements for laying on of hands to "qualify" them. What scripture(s) say that? Pastors are the church leaders, the shepherds of the local congregation, and there should be at least 2 since it's plural in scripture. Elders are selected by the congregation, "qualified" by the...
