Discuss Acts 16 Page 9

Accept salvation while it is close to you.the keeper of the prison received salvation through Christ by the hand of Paul and Silas

Praising God takes you inner tabernacle of God where all things a possible. so when next you find yourself in the chain, praising God is the key.

Many are devices of a man heart, but the council of God will always prevail. In the midst of all the accusations livid on Paul,Silas and the others keeping the faith God had to use a different means in bringing man to the full knowledge of Jesus Christ as the king of kings. Every knee will bow down coming to the full knowledge of the saving power of Jesus.

I want to study more the word of God. This is a great help to me God Bless You.

In Acts chapter 2:38 Peter was addressing Jews on the day of Pentecost, when they asked what must they do verse 37, He Peter said unto them, repent, and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. That was the requirement of the early church. Now, turn to Acts 10:44 While Peter yet spake these words the Holy Ghost fell on them which heard words. In Acts 2:38 the Jews had to repent, be baptized everyone of them in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of their sins in order to receive the Holy Spirit. But, Acts 10:44 they The Gentles received the Holy Spirit without being baptized. They early believers who were Jews still under the old Mosaic covenant at that time. Which was a different dispensation, were required to be water baptized to be saved. But, under the new dispensation according to the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 1 4 all that is required for salvation, "both Jews and Gentles is truly believing in the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, plus nothing. Then we will be baptized with the Holy Spirit. Look Acts 16: 30-31 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said Paul and Silas Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. He did not saw they should repent and be baptize. No. all they said was believe!

- Acts 16:16The girl had a spirit of divination,this is a very deceiving spirit that witchdoctors and sangomas use.A lot of ppl are deceived coz we love to be told something true about our lives. The spirit in the girl said something that was true about Paul and Silas, but Paul recognised it as wn evil spirit and cast it out! Amen!

It brings me even closer to my high power knowing in my heart and it feeds my sole with happiness. I know he is always there for us to help us when we come to him in are troubled times. That's why I know he IS really there. When you have no one and you turn to him you find out he is real.GOD BLESS EVERYONE!!!!!!...

Praise God and have faith in our lord Jesus he will see is through .

Thank GOD for the WORD OF GOD

There is power in praising the Most High God in Heaven, Amen

No matter how big the situation is God is always bigger than any situation

In the books of Acts there are several ways that an individual is saved. The reason is Acts is a transitional book. In Acts 2 people are saved with water baptism added, in Acts 8 hands are laid, in Acts 10 they are saved before water baptism, then in Acts 16:31 believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. Baptism in the name of the Lord mentioned in Acts 10 is the baptism for today. The Lord is what the Father is called in the O.T. The Lord is the name of Jesus Christ see Phil 2:11. Then the Holy Ghost is called Lord, Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Jesus name baptism of Acts 2:38 is Jewish baptism and Jews and proselytes are the only ones addressed in that chapter. Anyone preaching Acts 2:38 is preaching a false gospel for today. If you want to apply verse 38 for today why don 't you apply verse 45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. Rightly divide your Bible 2 Tim 2:15 or it will divide you Hosea 6:5.

We we believe the whole bible but take in consideration to whom it is speaking. Before the cross is O.T. doctrine Heb 9:17. The verse you quoted said covet to PROPHESY. So according to that verse one should ardently want to prophesy. The speaking in tongues was needed at Corinth because Corinth see Acts 18:1 had lots of Jews see verse 2 and there was a synagoge beside the place where they were meeting and Jews require a sign 1 Cor 1:22 and tongues are for a SIGN 1 Cor 14:22. Those are verses in their context. Mark 16 and Acts 2 has baptism associated with salvation because it is the Kingdom gospel being preached by a man names Simon Peter who didn 't even know of the body of Christ mystery. This was revealed to the Apostle Paul Eph 3:1-9. They said what must WE do in Acts 2. This is as a Nation because the KINGDOM is being offered to the JEWISH NATION see Acts 3:19, Rom 11:26-29, Heb 8:8-12, Jer 31:33-34, 33:8,50:20, Dan 9:24. No one is saved like Acts 2:38 again. Acts 16:31 shows how an individual is saved. What must I do to be SAVED? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and THOU SHALT BE SAVED.

I don 't pretend to have all the answers, like some do, and I 'm not going to twist Gods word to suit my beliefs, I fear GOD to much.Faith and obedience should work hand in hand with each other, it is this faith and obedience and the power of the Holy Spirit that brings us to our Savior, and belief in Him, this is the first step to Salvation, believing in your heart, and confessing with your mouth, that Jesus is Lord, Acts 16:31-- And they said, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And again: Romans 10:13--For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. The point I 'm making to you! is there are some who twist Gods word and spread heretical lies, that are in denial of Gods Holy word and of this sort beware! II Corinthians 11: 14 And no marvel, for satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Verse " 15--Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to there works. AMEN!!

Gidget, the verse reads. Matthew 21:22. And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer believing, ye shall receive. Sorry for the typo.

Gidget, pray for your adult children. Pray that God sends them friends that are Christian. Pray believing that God is going to do great things in their lives. Thank him for the things He is going to do ahead of time. Never give up. Praise God for all He is going to do. Does your Bible have a concordance? Look up prayer, believing. Jesus talks about prayers that get answered and thanking Him before you get the answer. Believe. God works in marvelous and mysterious ways in His time. Matthew 21:22 says,And all things, whatsoever he shall ask in prayer, believing, he shall receive.

Part 2. Acts 16:31 is what we must do to be saved. God was dealing with the nation of Israel Acts 3:19 that was getting a second chance to receive their Messiah because of Jesus prayer in Lk 23:34. The Father forgave them and they had a second chance to receive their Messiah and the desciples had the SIGNS to Jews 1Cor 1:22,14:22 to confirm the word Mark 16:20 because the N.T. wasn 't written yet. Don 't go to hell in Acts 2:38 when you can go to heaven in Rom 10:8-13.

God is everywhere and knows everything, And his word is a sword discerning the heart and mind. The Lord is proving himself to be powerful and faithful no matter where we are.

This verse teaches us that, through prayer every chain in our lives and all devals prissoner will be set free by prayer, prayer is the key to open all doors and power to loose all chains.

Be the priest of our own home. Lets thanks him for his love and greatness.

Very good story of how the devil can come in and steal your joy if you allow him to. Paul and Silas prayed and rejoice in The Lord with all there heart and soul. That 's what we need to do when time are good and time are bad.we have to trust and believe that God can make away out of no way.We can do all things through Christ that strengthen us.

The Holy Spirit not only comfort us but it guides and protect us as well.

D Gray NOTE THAT WHEN PAUL and SILAS called out the spirit of DIVINATION out of the damsel that was POSSESSED her boss did not like that. so they locked them up becouse thay stoped the MONEY flow some times if you call out that same spirit out of the CHURCHES the head man and women will not like that.but so what thats your job as a MAN and WOMEN of JESUS CHRIST note that god said that GOD do not live in bulding made by hands but in the heart of man.were there,s one or two there Iam in the mest of you.so watch out for people possessed with the spirit of DIVINATION do not call on them but read your bible and the spirit of JESUS CHRIST WILL SHOW YOU THE WAY.Ilove you all with the love of Christ PS. Its not money or the house or the land but its LOVE LOVE LOVE
