I don’t believe “into” is the correct translation for Acts 2:38. It does not harmonize with any other scriptures on baptism or repentance. That is, unless you change them all.

A key verse in understanding the book of Revelation is chapter 1, verse 3-“Blessed are those who READ and those who HEAR the words of this prophecy.” This was written for people in the first century as well as those of us in the 21st century. The book must be “timeless” and one that will “bless”...

Oh, no; I totally agree that the lost sheep ia Not the church; but disagree that the lost sheep is the nation of Israel. What makes you think this? Read the context. This story was told by Jesus to answer a criticism of Him by the Pharisees and scribes. They didn’t think He ought to eat...

I don’t do a lot of studying of the Greek and ancient manuscripts. My faith is simple; I believe the average person can understand God’s words and commands without a knowledge of the Greek, or Hebrew. I’m not saying it isn’t HELPFUL at times, but I just don’t believe it is NECESSARY to...

Yes. I believe His salvation was. BUT how we get it is different for us than it was for the woman in Luke 7. While Jesus was here on earth, he could save anyone, anyway He chose. But after His death, obviously, He would not be able to do that anymore. It makes sense that He had to leave a...

Luke 24:47-this is AFTER Jesus died on the cross; just before his ascension into heaven. He told his disciples that “repentance and remission of sins would be preached “to all nations” BEGINNING at Jerusalem. They were instructed to “wait in Jerusalem”. for the Holy Spirit which they would...

What a shame. I was willing to “agree to disagree” and give you an opportunity to end this peacefully; but you are not going to stop, are you? Alright. Rant and rave all you want. I will not be a part of this anymore. Matthew 7:6 comes to mind.

Edify is right. This is NOT about winning an argument—souls are at stake. I am alright with you disagreeing with me. I am content to agree to disagree. But the “name-calling” and false charges are beneath you.

I just wish you felt that way about 1Cor. 14:34, which you seem to have no trouble ignoring.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion.

I have never denied it; because I have not read where it is a sin.

Taking Jesus's words out of context to make say something you are saying is misusing his word[/ Jesus says it better than I can. Do you have a scripture—in its context—that says that?

Acts 2:17 is the prophecy of the prophet Joel, who said, “It shall come to pass in the last days…”. Peter quotes this prophecy because the Jews, there at that time were seeing the Spirit poured out just as Joel prophesied but they thought the apostles were drunk! Peter tells them, “These are...

By keeping His commandments. Jesus said, “IF YOU LOVE me, keep my commandments.” John 14:15. And again, “you are my friends if you do what I say.” John 15:14. Jesus says, one way we show Him that we love Him is by obeying His commandments. We can see this in our own children. When we tell...

We all agree there were spiritual gifts of prophesying, tongues, etc. at this time and 1Cor. 14 regulates those as they take place in the church. Women did prophesy, but not in public worship. See verse 34. These gifts and miraculous signs were temporary. ( See 1 Cor. 13:8-10. ) until the...

Acts 2:15-16 Peter says what you see happening today, is what Joel prophesied. The Holy Spirit was poured out on that day. E

If calling someone a “jack donkey” in response to their post is YOUR way of “handling any challenge to your interpretation of scripture” then, I’m glad I’m not handling it your way. Attacking the “person”. Instead of the “argument” is called “ad homenin fallacy.” It means “against the man”...

You may be right, my sins are many, but judging “hearts” is not one of them. Matthew 7:20- “By their fruits you shall know them.” What are the fruits of a woman publicly preaching in a church, by her own admission. I would say that is her “fruit “ that we can see. Our discussion has been...
