Please provide scripture that shows water baptism administered another way.
The scriptures I provided show that the people followed the instructions given by Peter during Pentecost: they repented, they got water baptized in Jesus name for the remission of their sin and received the gift of the Holy Ghost.
And yes, regardless of the sequence in which these requirements were done, the fact is they were done. Yes all were saved due to their obedience.
I would say trustworthy verification of ANY miracles is sketchy at best.
But let's say for instance that Wigglesworth punching a cancer victim in the stomach or beating a dead person back to life, actually DID happen. We are told that our enemy can perform lying wonders and signs designed to deceive.
We are also told to test the spirits because not all are from God.
So how do we to discern the frauds, the lying wonders and the true, Blessed real thing from the Lord? Certainly not merely by the results or an experience.
We do it by hearing God through His Word. There is not a SINGLE recorded incident ANYWHERE in Scripture that I am aware of where violence is used to heal a person. Violence is used by the ENEMY. Such as in the case of the boy who would throw himself into the fire, or the guy in the graveyard that would beat and terrorize himself and others.
If you can show a case where violence is used I will rethink my position.
I would expect Pharisees and some other to call what was praiseworthy a work of the devil they did it to Jesus tooDepends on who is writing the history. History is littered with deceivers posing as messengers of God. Time will soon be here when the last great one will move mankind rapidly to the consummation of the world.

All these signs shall follow them.......Did Jesus say that to you? Were you an eye witness to all that He did and to His resurrection? It was to ''His Apostles'', they were the ones given the authority to do those things as a sign that they were eye witnesses to Jesus ministry and His resurrection. No one else could then claim to be one of the Apostles of Jesus if they did not have that authority and power given to them by Jesus.
No one outside of the apostles could lay their hands on a person and impart the gifts except for the Apostles of Jesus.

Your'e very welcome. But I am still waiting for a scripture that is written directly to you? That scripture is for those who choose to believe. It doesn't have your name attached to it. Wow you are just so important aren't you? Thank you.
LOl OK How about this
lol the idea that a person who is ignorant and has never embraced the devil prays for people and give glory to God and our Lord and the devil can out power God and heal a person to do lying wonders.
can you show me where in the Word of God one person healed by a demon? you do that and I will answer the last question you asked with scripture
Look the problem is you keep repeating scriptures about the church of that time. But missing the point of the origins of what was going on.
I agree and understand what is written there.
Where do we first see tongues being introduced into the bible? It is not in the book of Acts like almost everyone seems to think but in Isaiah 28v11,12 as Paul quotes in 1 Corinthians 14v21
1 Corinthians 14v20Brothers and sisters, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults. 21In the Law it is written:
“With other tongues
and through the lips of foreigners
I will speak to this people,
but even then they will not listen to me,
says the Lord.”
22Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is not for unbelievers but for believers.
Go back and read the entire chapter in Isaiah 28 and get an understanding of what is being said. God is rebuking the leaders. That is not a good thing. Do you want to be rebuked?
Who did Jesus always rebuke and always call a wicked and perverse generation? The leadership of Israel, the pharisees and teachers of the law.
That is who the tongues, LANGUAGES are addressing. The unbelievers are the unbelieving nation of Israel, who crucified The Lord Of Glory.
The lips of foreigners are the gentiles or more correctly the ethnic groups.
This in no way applies to anyone of today.

Proper decorum would dictate that the person who asked first would be answered first.
But I'll answer. I don't believe for ONE SECOND that ANY of his supposed miracles were true. That is why it is so vitally important to focus on the method that he used to "heal" these people. We are told to pray over and lay hands on the sick. NOT to violently strike them and throw babies against a wall, and kick them. These methods INHERENTLY display that he is not operating under the H.S.
The antichrist will SEEM to have a mortal head wound but somehow be resurrected. Is that not a lying wonder?

The biblical as well as historical record show clearly that from the apostolic era until around 325 a.d. people were water baptized in the singular name of Jesus. The church leaders of Rome who later became the Roman Catholic Church made this change. Protestant church leaders and members are evidently uninformed of this fact and continue to this day to propagate a man made tradition.here is the issue that many do not see One Jesus is always authoritative when HE speaks. always. you do not understand what "in the name means " and how does that translate contextually with what Jesus said to do. I do not think the Apostles would change what Jesus said to do. the only edifying answer is not you have to be baptized IN Jesus name ONLY which is never said in the word of God.
The answer would be BOTH are correct. baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit or In the Name of Jesus or what many of those who elitize scripture fail to see the full statement
I baptize you in the name of the Lord Jesus or by the authority given me by the Lord Jesus Christ Into the Father and of the Son and in the Holy Ghost. the phrase " In the name of the Lord Jesus " is identifying with Christ authority to do so. This too fulfills the word John the Baptist said in the gospel of John chapter one of who would be Baptizing in the Holy Spirit and fire.
Jesus is the one who gave HIS authority to the Apostle s to baptize in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Reminds me of how the religious leaders of Jesus' day demanded that Peter and John stop using Jesus' name. In saying this, again, I am in no way suggesting people are consciously aware that they are not following the biblical pattern for water baptism.
Acts 4:18-19
And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
Some say God would not be that rigid and demand exact adherence. Ask yourself, Is that seen in the bible record?
no one is suggesting to stop so your point is not well founded.

The biblical record just does not support this.no one is suggesting to stop so your point is not well founded. I have said both are correct.
The error is those who say you were not saved UNless you were baptized in the name of Jesus only. That is not true. That is an error, the emphasis on ONLY. Those who were baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of The Holy Ghost or in the Name of The Lord Jesus Christ are both valid. I think it is funny you see church history outside of the Bible as credible only when you make it support your belief.
YES through the gift of prophecy; where God speaks directly to his church.All these signs shall follow them.......Did Jesus say that to you?
What I meant and did not accurately state in my original comment was that core salvation issues, etc. would have to be kept intact. Otherwise how is one to be judged if they have not been provided with proper information.
I have done research concerning whether the salvation components in the Book of Acts and the epistles were modified in various bible translations and to date am unaware of any changes. Of course the footnotes, etc. in study bibles will always reflect publishers bias toward their preferred denominational belief system.
The KJV is the earliest bible published in English and I believe it is the closest translation to the original texts. The many other translations came about afterward and in my opinion there is ample evidence that they do change meaning of passages of scripture. Not good.

there is nothing that says to be baptized in the name of Jesus only to be saved.The biblical record just does not support this.
I think the following is a good comparison. Try to get your prayers answered, cast out a demon, have the sick recover, etc. by confessing let this be done in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Your request will not be heard. The word states that if one asks they will receive if the request is made in the name of Jesus.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. John 16:23-24
Also, we are told:
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Col 3:17
