I don’t know what version you are using but the NKJ version uses a different verb in Acts 10:43. You used the word”receives” which is present tense, but it actually uses the verb “will receive” which is future tense. God is precise with His meanings. For example, He makes an argument based on...

Peter in Acts 2:38 did not say baptism in Jesus name ONLY. Don’t make the mistake of inserting that word only in there where it is not there. Matthew 28:18-19 does not contradict Acts 2:38. We are to add it all together. Psalm 119:160 it’s the SUM of His word that is the truth. When we...

AMEN! Exactly so.

Yes. Jesus made that a condition of salvation, John 3, when He said”UNLESS A MAN BE Born AGAIN, HE CANNOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. There is not much question about it. However, there IS a lot of misunderstanding and confusion about the different laws in the New Testament and how people...

So thankful for your sincerity and good heart. I take comfort in the fact that God did not punish those children under 20 years old. I think you can , too. Keep studying the word. I learn new things all the time.

How sad that you have so little respect and love for the words of God. Timothy says that all scripture is inspired by God—it is literally GOD BREATHED. If you read your Bible, you will see that Jesus always answered religious questions or religious situations with SCRIPTURE. Matthew 21:16...

I agree. Jesus said only those who become like little children (pure) can enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3. Psalms 106:38 says they “shed INNOCENT blood, the blood of their sons and daughters…” In numbers 14, when the people refused to go into the promise land for fear, God...

I would have to see a scripture that says Holy Spirit baptism takes away sin and one that says Holy Spirit baptism puts us into Christ. Are you ASSUMING that every time you read the word baptize, it means Holy Spirit baptism? Then you would be wrong. not to mention presumptuous. In Acts 2:38...

We must be guided by what the Bible says —not by our ideas or feelings. I know I have the Holy Spirit living in me because I of Acts 2:38 and 1 Cor. No, I do not, and let me show you from the scriptures why. Study your New Testament and you will see that Holy Spirit baptism was miraculous...

Yes, I agree that there were many people there from all over. But when John described the messiah to these people as one who was going to baptize with the Spirit and with fire, that is a description of His work and since He does not tell us specifically WHO will receive these things you cannot...

To understand what the vision that Peter saw meant in Acts 10, you must understand the old Jewish law of Moses. For 1500 years the Jews thought gentiles were “unclean” people. They called them “dogs”. This reference is not about their salvation, it is about things that are forbidden by their...

There are 5 different baptisms mentioned in the New Testament. They all served a purpose but all but one has ceased. Baptism 1) the baptism of John. It was a baptism of repentance and was for getting the people ready for the Messiah. Mark 1:1-4 Baptism 2)the miraculous baptism of the Holy...

God says: salvation comes after baptism. MARK 16:16 Satan says: salvation comes BEFORE BAPTISM God says: NOT by faith only. James 2:24 Satan says: yes, by faith only. God says: baptism saves. 1 Peter 3:21 Satan says: baptism does NOT save. Just like Eve, you have a choice.

It’s always best to read above and below a verse to understand the context. If you had read the verses before verse 11 you would have seen that John the Baptist was talking specifically to the Pharisees and Saducees when he talked about Jesus baptizing with the Holy Spirit and fire. Verses...

Salvation is about obeying God. In the old testament we have the story of Naaman, a leper, from Syria. He was not a believer, not a Jew. Probably worshipped idols. He came to God’s prophet because he heard he could heal him of his leprosy. He was told to go wash in the Jordan River 7 times...

There is a lot of misunderstanding about Holy Spirit baptism. Jesus promised Holy Spirit baptism to his apostles and we see what it was on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2 when they received it. It was a MIRACULOUS immersion or out pouring of the Holy Ghost. They were not expecting it (at that...

Mark 16:16- If I say he that chews food and swallows it shall live but he that doesn’t chew food —- do I need to say “and doesn’t swallow the food that he doesn’t chew”? The last half of that verse says that an unbeliever shall be condemned. Did God need to say the person that doesn’t believe...
