What is the point you're trying to make?

Confess with your mouth is what the Ethiopian eunuch did in Acts 8, meaning, he confessed his belief in Jesus as the Christ which is what Romans 10 means. Acts 8:34-38 34And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man...

No such thing as "sinners prayer" in the Bible. Its man contrived nonsense that does nothing for the one that recites it. It cannot and does not save.

Your premise is incorrect. Becoming immortal and being born again are two different things and happen at two different times: they are not synonymous terms. You become saved upon belief and baptism into the body of Christ, having been saved from your past sins. Being then faithful and remaining...

Those at Ephesus were rebaptized into Christ having only been previously baptized unto John's baptism. The baptisms are both the same by immersion in water, however, being baptized into Christ also adds you to tge body of Christ which is his church as well as gives you the gift of the Holy...

Scripture in no way supports this. Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ is water baptism as in Acts 2:38 and is clearly, VERY clearly, evidenced by other records of conversions such as the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8. Baptism is always water baptism unless otherwise stated. People like you go to...

If God knows all, which he does, would he not know all decisions you will make including those last minute ones if a spontaneous nature? If you change your mind a thousand times and ar the very last moment, would God not know that in advance of your actually doing it? The answer should be pretty...

God is all knowing, ALL, not reactive to events he doesn't know. If the scriptures indicate he reacted to something, that dies not mean he was caught off guard or surprised; the reaction recoreded is for the record as it was known in advance. It's rediculus to say or infer that there are future...

Doing the "will of the Father" is being obedient. And relative to salvation, this further means you must be obedient to the gospel. Being obedient to the gospel further infers you must DO something, that something is required of you that equates to your obedience. Hearing the gospel alone is...

You have a very skewed view and lack of scriptural understanding. There are no scriptures that teach including those you've cited, that through or by preaching alone you become baptized. It's by preaching and hearing the word that leads or compels you to be obedient to the gospel which...

There are no scriptures that support your views, nowhere, not one, nor are there any that even somewhat infer what you're stating. No one gets baptized in the Holy Spirit by someone preaching to them. That's nonsense

No kidding! But, John's words were pertaining to future events. Even Acts 1 bares this out as it refers back to John's words. Acts 1:4-5 Holy Spirit 4And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father...

Something I've previously posted that addresses this common misconception. Subject: Spiritual baptism And who was it that John the Baptist was referring to? The apostles. Read the words of John the Baptist in Luke 3:16, and Jesus words to his apostles in Luke 24:49, then the words of Peter...

God is spirit, not a spirit. See the original Greek; the kjv is a poor translation. God is spirit meaning life, energy, that which quickens.

There is one baptism that WE must do and that's baptism on water which goes back to John's. Baptism unless otherwise stated is always immersion in water. How does one get baptized otherwise and what scriptures state this that you're relying on? How were the Jews on the day of Pentecost baptized...

Actually, I'm suggesting that the words may imply that something existed and was already created prior to that which is described in Gen 1:1; heaven and earth. Possibly the universe had already been created and Gen 1:1 and after, is really relating to just the earth and its surroundings. That...

Is it? It says "1In the beginning God created THE heaven and THE earth." Then it says "7And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 8And God called the firmament Heaven." So the above...

What creation is Gen1 discussing? It's talking about the creation of the heaven and earth, not the universe. Verse 1, as I asserted, implies that there was a beginning which preceded the creation discussed in Gen 1. Yes God only existed before everything, but Gen 1 is not discussing the creation...

The heaven is in some translations, plural, and also can refer to the immediate heaven above the earth, namely, the sky or atmosphere. But I'm with you regarding verse one that it may refer to the universe. The Greek interlinear says "heavens", plural. Also see Hebrews 11:3 in this regard and...

Nope, it doesn't blatantly say the universe was already there, but it suggests it, or that something already was and also suggests that the earth and heaven preceded day one.
