Acts Chapter 2 Discussion Page 30

Jesus Name is the only name.Name above all names!

the books of acts is teaching about how did you recieving the holy spirit...

It was inspiring and encouraging at the same time.

IT MAKES ME THINK OF THE FOES WE GO THROUGH WE NO LONGER HAVE TO BARE THEM OURSELVES BECAUSE OF CHRIST JESUS, 2CORINTHAINS 10 SAYS BRING EVERYTHING TO THE OBEDIANCE OF JESUS CHRIST.

Acts 2:38 when Jesus left instructions to his diciples to go forth and baptize in the name not names of the father,son,and holy spirit peter thought what is the name of the father,son,and holy spirit its Jesus that's why you must repent,be baptized in the name of Jesus,and you will recieve the holy ghost.

I see the comments about Acts 2:38-some are very crude and insensitive. Acts 2:38 DOES NOT SAVE YOU
Yes the church started according to Acts 2:38 BUT--salvation is by a consistent prayerful and sinless life. You gotta take up your cross daily if you wanna be saved. Acts 2:38 is ONLY the START of the journey.

Isaiah 9:6 tells us who Jesus really is. He is the Son, Father and God. Jesus is the name you should be baptized in.( Acts 2:38,19:5,10:48,8:37-38)( 2 Cor 3:1) Out of the mouths of two or three shall the word of God be established. Many times did the scriptures say Jesus name baptism but only once did it sayin the name of Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost( Matthew 28:19) If you put them all together you get the name and that is Jesus. ( Luke 24:47) tells where and what name should remissions of sins and repentence should be preached. Matt, Mark, Luke and John are the books that tell of Jesus's birth, life ,death and resurrection and the resurrection begins in the book of acts and is the beginning of the Church. Jesus gave Peter the authority to speak on the day of pentecost in St John(21:15-17)( Acts 1:2) as well as the first chapter of Acts, whom Jesus chose the apostles.
People try to say well who told the apostles to go and baptize in Matthew 28:19? Jesus of course, I agree but who stopped Saul/Paul on the way to Damascus? The same Jesus? YES! Paul baptized in what way and name? Jesus.( Acts 19:5) No other name( Acts 4:12) as well as One Lord, One Faith and one Baptism ( eph 4:5) People will jump over the book of Acts because of what ever reason. Acts opens up the name. If you don't believe me see what is done in Jesus name in the book of Acts. Do a study but before you do it pray to Jesus and ask for wisdom.

Jesus Bless

listen if you think that your getting in GODS KINGDOM WITHOUT REPENTING AND BEING BAPTIZED in the name of JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF YOUR SINS THEN HELL WILL BE YOUR EVERLASTING HOME

ACTS 2 38 is the ONLY WAY TO SEE JESUS

Pertaining to 2:19...Look up; it's time for his return. I can't wait!!!

@Tyler,
You say name and not names of the father, son and holy spirit is Jesus. There is power in the name. You may be a son, father, uncle, nephew,… however if you write a check to someone and sign son, father and nephew the bank will not acknowledge it. Father, son and holy spirit are titles the name is Jesus. God wraps himself in flesh to walk on the earth so we can be saved. When Jesus was crucified, he then sent the holy ghost which is his spirit, as our comforter.

Continue---Baptism must be in the name of Jesus!! It's not good enough to use the titles Father, Son and Holy Ghost again I say you have to use the name not his titles, for example I cannot write anyone a check in the name of mother, daughter and wife because I have to apply the name. I pray for all including myself. God Bless !!
Romans 6:1-6 which is death, burial and the resurrection.

I want to say Tonia's accusation to the trinity as a false doctrine is out of this world wrong, if she wants to use biblical proof then she should look at other texts like Matthew 28:19... Jesus says to baptize in the name of the Father, the son, and the Holy Spirit. or 2Corinthians 13:14, Ephesians 4:4-6, 1Peter 1:2,but there is one thing i want you to do... actually to anybody is to read it for yourself... you do not know if i could be lying to you, know i would never lie on something as serious as this. another thing is i am not criticising you for your thoughts, i just want you to know the truth

You are confused because the trinity is false doctrine. Repent and be baptized in the name, not names; for the remission of all sins, not your sins. If you can read 1 Timothy 3:16, I hope that will help you understand.

Acts 2:38, being Baptized is not part of your Salvation; it shows that you are saved, read Romans 10:9-13, John 3:16. If you notice Jesus did not Baptized anyone, John Baptized him for an example for us, it shows the Death, Burial and Resurrection; the only way you can be saved is through Blood Of Jesus Christ.

The correct wording is; we are to be baptized in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost? I am still a little confused...Father meaning God, Son meaning Jesus?

First I think, it reaffirms that speaking in tongues is definitely ONE OF the fruits of the spirit. Shame to those who teach that if you have been truly baptised by the Spirit YOU WILL speak in tongues. I have been baptised by the Spirit, yet I DO NOT speak in tongues. I am not a believer, I AM A KNOWER and I will pray for those who teach that.

The Scripture here is correct but why does the picture is NOT correct? Acts 2:2 says: “And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were SITTING”. THE APOSTLES AND THE OTHER PEOPLE WITH THEM ON THAT DAY WERE [sitting] AND NOT [standing] AS WHAT THE PICTURE SHOWS IN THIS WEBSITE!

If baptism isn't important to be saved then why does Christ say it is so often in the scriptures? Because it is very important.

Did Jesus ask the thief a question or give him a promise. Today shalt thou be with me in paradise. Read carefully and give your opinion.

I believe in the doctrine of the apostles.

I do believe Jesus Himself speaks of the lake of fire in Revelation several times. But no one is cast in there until his return and they are given another chance to accept Him as Lord and saviour. And follow the true Ten Commandments not the catholic version that replaced Sunday for Saturday. Those who believe Jesus nailed the commandments to the cross are deceived. The ceremonial and sacrificial laws were nailed to the cross but not the Moral law. That is why he said If you love me keep my commandments, I have kept my father’s commandments and many will worship Me in vain teaching doctrines of men for commandments. I paraphrased a lot there but in Luke 6:46 he says why call me Lord and not do what I say. Nowhere in the bible is Sunday transferred as the Sabbath. Luke 4:4, He says we are to live by every word that comes out of the mouth of God. The bible is God’s word. Circumcision is well documented on its absolution. So why not Sunday taking over from Saturday? Because it hasn't, in John 10:35, Jesus says the scripture cannot be broken. Daniel 7:25 tells us the beast will change ties and laws and wear out the saints. The Dark Age period Christians keeping the 7th day as Jesus did, were killed for 1260 years. The Catholic Church passed the law to do it and they did. Research canon Law XX1X.

This text agrees perfectly other texts and references even in the preface an old version of American Standard Bible: THAT SHEOL AND HADES MEAN SIMPLY GRAVE, PIT, HELL all being synonymous words. It does not mean a place of fire torment. Even Jesus the son of Jehovah was there, as all human when we die, but did not remain there. How sad to believe that hell which means grave means a fire eternal home of torment.

Baptism plays a very real part in our salvation. Jesus spoke in John 3:3-8 of the new birth (being born again) said that we must be born again of Water and of the Spirit. Water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ and the infilling of the Holy Ghost ( Acts 2:1-4). We must Repent (die to sin) we must be baptized in Jesus' name (burial, likened to Jesus, Romans 6:4) and then Receive the Holy Ghost ( Acts 2:1-4; 10:44-47). There is the plan... Thank God I followed it!

I know that the Bible is right and somebody's wrong, God's word is always right let every man be a liar and God's word be Truth and the Truth will make you free. Yes I believe Acts 2:38 and I believe in Jesus Christ, yes I believe that JESUS is GOD.

@Fruitloop,
It is not baptism that saves us, it is rather the faith of Jesus Christ, Romans 10:9, 10.
Baptism is just a symbol of repentance, but it is not conditioned to one’s salvation.
God bless you.

So if a man has accepted Christ and has not been baptized, can he still go to heaven? He has been told a couple of different things. He does not go to church, but has made a decision and was baptized as a young boy.

The thief on the cross was still living under the dispensation of law. That is why it was not necessary for him to be baptized or have the Holy Ghost. When the Lord died, it brought us into the dispensation of grace, abolished the law, and brought along with it the responsibility of seeking salvation through repentance, baptism, and the Holy Ghost.

To answer Stephen question from 10-16-12, Yes Sir you are correct about the thief on the cross he was not baptized, But this was before the death of Jesus, the Holy Ghost was not yet giving to anyone Jesus stated that after he depart he will send the comforter which is the Holy Ghost in ( John 14:26) . In the Old Testament, they had to bring goats and lambs for a sacrifice for an offering and be cleansed for a whole year ( Numbers 7:15-17). In the New Testament when Jesus came as a lamb in flesh ( John 1:29), to shed his blood for the whole world that we may have a chance to be saved. Jesus stated that we must be born again of the water and the spirit ( John 3:3-7) or we cannot see the kingdom of God. In Acts 2:38, it is when the door was opened by Peter the man whom Jesus gave the keys to the kingdom ( Matthew 16:18-19). We are to obey his orders to be saved. Lots more scriptures but here is one more for now, 1Peter 3:21-22. God Bless!

I have been baptized in God’s wonderful name Jesus in water and received the Holy Ghost speaking in tongues. It’s still alive today. Praise God!!!
