    Holy Spirit baptism and eternal salvation

    What difference does that make? Joel said this experience would be for all flesh. God started with the Jew, which agrees with Paul who wrote, "to the Jew first..." Thank GOD it is available to the Gentiles! Thank GOD Paul was sent to the Gentiles!

    Holy Spirit baptism and eternal salvation

    I think you need a bible study: John 20: 20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. 21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. 22 And when he had said...

    Holy Spirit baptism and eternal salvation

    This is just ignorance of the word of God. You are confusing salvation or the born again experience with the anointing: these are two different experiences performed by two different members of the Godhead and for two different purposes. You really should do more studying on these things.

    Holy Spirit baptism and eternal salvation

    What you are doing is trying to change The meaning of baptism, and the meaning of anointing No, you have not understood what these were, so the truth seems strange. If I were in your place, I would look up every verse in the Old Testament about the Holy Spirit coming UPON people as the...

    Holy Spirit baptism and eternal salvation

    This is really not true. Did you speak in tongues as they did in the book of Acts? Were hands laid on you and did someone pray for you to receive the Holy Spirit? If not, then you were were born again but did NOT receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. These are two definite acts of God for two...

    Holy Spirit baptism and eternal salvation

    All this makes no difference: God was working with Philip: and God helped Philip preach the word through the anointing, then God helped Philip perform miracles to draw the crowds through the anointing. Then God was behind them being baptized in water as Peter had preached on the day of...

    Holy Spirit baptism and eternal salvation

    I got it: you apply human reasoning. It is about the infant church. So what if it is transitional? Is this an excuse not to believe it?

    50 Reasons For a Pretribulational Rapture By Dr. John F. Walvoord

    Try and find "the day of Christ" in Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians. You won't find it. It is the Day of the Lord that will be triggered by the rapture. The truth then is this: the closer we get to the day of the Lord, the closer we get to the rapture. They were in great persecution...

    Holy Spirit baptism and eternal salvation

    All that is great, and people SHOULD have all these things. But WHY are you not baptized in the Holy Spirit? It is available for all who are born again. Can you ask other believers what Paul asked: "Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed?" Would you not WANT any gift God wants to...

    Holy Spirit baptism and eternal salvation

    The disciples were probably baptized in Acts 2 when they received the mighty baptism in the Holy Spirit, but the scripture really does not say. Look, this is not difficult: When someone is baptized into water, they take on the characteristic of water: they get WET. When someone is baptized into...

    Who is the beast that was and is not?

    They are NOT mere flesh and blood. Satan will possess the man of sin and he will become the BEAST. And Satan will then have one goal: destroy all believers. That is why both Daniel and Revelation show that the saints left behind will be overcome.

    50 Reasons For a Pretribulational Rapture By Dr. John F. Walvoord

    You are missing the Greek Tenses. it is not so much as "at hand." They thought the Day had come and was present: they were IN IT. 2 Not to allow your minds to be quickly unsettled or disturbed or kept excited or alarmed, whether it be by some [pretended] revelation of [the] Spirit or by word...

    50 Reasons For a Pretribulational Rapture By Dr. John F. Walvoord

    The simple truth is, Paul wrote that word apostasia in a sentence, and the sentence in a passage answering a question about the rapture. I cannot pull that word out of its context. It seems you have no problem doing that. Again you must explain how a falling away can allow the man of sin to be...

    Holy Spirit baptism and eternal salvation

    The untold millions around the world that received the Holy Spirit baptism AFTER they were born again know the truth. It seems you are in denial. If I were you, I would WANT this gift, not fight against it! Why would anyone fight against a gift of God? Do you not WANT power to witness? Do you...

    Why is it so difficult to just believe Luke? Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Note: WE did not write this: Luke did...

    50 Reasons For a Pretribulational Rapture By Dr. John F. Walvoord

    Then you have to explain how a falling away can be the power restraining the Beast from being revealed before his time being "taken out of the way." Please explain that.

    Who is the beast that was and is not?

    I see no disagreement in these two scriptures. I think they are speaking of the same beast.

    Who is the beast that was and is not?

    Sorry, my friend, but it is you who is in complete denial of truth presented by John in his writing and by me as I remind you of what John wrote. For example: YOU IMAGINE "parallel" teachings. It is not proven and will never be, for John takes us straight through time. Oh, don't misunderstand...
