Discuss Acts 2 Page 26

speaking in tongues is only one gift from God, there are others. (read on and you will find them) Maybe you served your purpose as far as speaking in tongues. Maybe you brought someone or more to Christ. And they brought more and more and more. This is how the seed is multiplied. God bless and keep the faith.

I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit a number of years ago. Others around me told me later that I had spoken another language. I only remember three little words that had been running through my mind some time before. I fell away from the Lord later in life and didn't attend church of pray. Later In life, I asked forgiveness and have been a Christian for many years now. My question is: because I don't speak another language anymore, do I still have the Holy Spirit indwelling; or just perhaps will never have the gift of speaking tongues?

Hey my brother the Bible said that You only get saved once,
Jesus Christ died for us on the cross for our sins just one
time and rose again on the third day. He did for you and me
the forgiveness of sins ( Acts 2:38-KJV) and ( 2Corinthians 5:15-NASB )
and read ( 2Corinthians 5:17 -NASB ) (New America Standard Bible)

I pray that the Spirit of God will lead you and open your heart and eyes
give you a blessed weariness and understand of his Love and will
continue to renew your mind and spirit this evening.

God Love You
Take care

Revelation 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
Peter was given the same keys as you and I today, Faith in his name (JESUS) the doors are opened and shut. Like Daniel in the den of lions an angel shut the lions mouth.
Acts 3:16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

On asking about taking Holy Communion every day. Try reading Acts 2:42-46, Acts 20:7, along with 1st Corinthians 10:16. 1st Corinthians 11:17-34 is about the Lord's supper, but it doesn't mention exactly how often is proper. Read in the Spirit and the Holy Spirit will guide you in all truth. I hope this helps.

It matters how you are baptised, Jesus Christ commanded "baptizing in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost". That name is the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said that He came in His Father's (Jesus Christ) and that is the name to be baptized in. Also 10Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. 12Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Hi Debra, how do you interpret Acts 2:38 ? If you don't think it's necessary, do you think it's important? If not, why do you think the Bible says this? Do you think there's any downside to a Christian being baptized other than getting wet and maybe feeling inconvenienced or embarrassed? For example, if a Christian wasn't 100% sure that Acts 2:38 meant baptism was necessary or not, why wouldn't a Bible-believing Christian want to be baptized?

No one can say for sure if another person is lost...My brother died from after being burned badly at the age of 42. he had been witnessed to and prayed for many times by me and many others. He came close a time or two, but just couldn't accept Christ. He lived for 3 days in and out of consciousness and couldn't communicate the last two. I pray he ask the Lord to come into his heart....By all accounts he was lost, but Acts 2:21 says, "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." He couldn't speak to us, but he still could speak to God...It only takes a second to be saved. Remember this when you hear of a lost soul.....

Matt 28:19 Baptizing in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. When they did as they were told by Jesus, Peter said in Acts 2:38 Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and yea shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. So the singular name that is mention in Matt 28:19 is answer in Acts 2:28. Which would be line up with the word of God, and God is still one God and there isn't any beside Him. Just one. When your dividing the scripture, you have to divide correctly, God always says He is One, never says He is three. Trinity was made by a pagan worshiper, not a christian. Catholic church accept it 245AD.

Jesus Christ says to baptize in name of Father, Son, Holy Ghost. So do as He instructed you!

You are right, Andrew Kelly, it is all confusion. Confusion is of the devil and is Babylon. He also said, Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you... And it's up to you to seek Him and to find out what they are, and to obey and do your first works after you have believed by Grace.

The Scriptures below will be helpful for those who are unaware that the early Church in Acts met every day of the week not just on Saturday Acts 2:41-47 God also tells us in Romans15:5-6 that the day we choose to fellowship is acceptable to Him. As we see confirmed Paul Preached on the Sunday; Acts 20:7 And upon the first day of the week when the Disciples came Together to break bread and Paul Preached unto them....

The name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost is Jesus Christ Matthew 28:19, Peter 2:38 . Jesus commanded the Apostles that repentance and remission of sins must be preached in his name Luke 24:46-47 . All demonstration of baptisms were done in the name of Jesus Christ or Lord Jesus no one was simply baptized in Jesus' name or Father, Son and Holy Ghost .

Acts 2:38. repent and be baptized for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the holy ghost

When Jesus died on the cross the veil was rent from top to bottom signifying that each man could go before God to repent for his own sins. Peter whom Jesus had given the keys to the kingdom stoop up on the day of Pentecost and declared the NEW baptism which was used throughout the rest of the Bible as the way to be saved. This is not my opinion, it is the Word of God.

If it doesn't matter then why not just sacrifice a lamb instead of being baptized? There is a problem with some who think any old way will do. There was a time when people sacrificed animals. Then that was done away with when a priest took the peoples sins before God. Then they priests started dying behind the veil because they were unclean.

Obedience to god is the whole duty of man Ecclesiastes 12:12 , disobedience to god results in the wages of sin which is death Romans 6:23 . Obedience to god is eternal life through Jesus Christ. In his name there is remission of sins and forgiveness of sins Acts 2:38

Until they conform to the Apostles doctrine, which is being born of the Water and the Spirit, i.e. John 3:3 and Acts 2:38, they cannot be saved. This is universal and goes for anyone, who isn't born again.

Here Peter was baptizing in the name of Jesus, the Son of God it does not matter how one gets baptized. Weather it be in the name of the Father and the Son and Holy Ghost or in Jesus name or baptized unto Jesus' death Romans 6:3-4 it don't matter it is all bible. Christanity is loaded with confusion because they are not in Christ but of the world of the devil as all sin is of the devil period.

MOST POWERFUL VERSE Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of JESUS and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost

The Bible says otherwise. It clearly says it is for everyone: Romans 10:12-13, Acts 2:21, Galatians 3:28-29, etc. Do you believe these scriptures? If not, why not and to whom are you putting your trust?

Amen Irene. Acts 2:38-39 is the New Testament salvation as we follow the teaching of Jesus. Always with love.

Peter was preaching to "all" of the nation of Israel. They were accomplices in the killing and rejection of our Lord Jesus Christ. When they repented and were baptized, they were saved to an" earthly reward"-the earthly kingdom" Jews only The Apostle Paul, apostle to the gentiles, was given "the Gospel of Grace" by our Ascended Lord as the gospel for us today. Read First Corinthians15:1-4.

One Lord, one faith, one baptism Ephesians 4:5 One Lord: Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. Deuteronomy 6:4 One Faith: and they continued steadfastly in the apostles Apostolic Pentecostal doctrine of fellowship, in breaking of bread and in prayers. Acts 2:42 One baptism: repent, and be baptised every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and ye Acts2:38

Thank you Stanjett for seeking to help, I'm sorry for the delay in replying I'm still having problems Commenting it may be just Tech I hope so There is no Joel 3:28 but Joel 2:28 does Confirm what Ruben shared and there is a New Testerment reminder of this Prophecy in Acts 2:17 As we know The Old Testerment will Confirm when needed the New and the New the Old.Thanks again and God Bless you- Annie.

Acts 2:38 John 3:3-5 Acts 2:38 Mathew 28:19 "Name" singular not Names plural plus Father son Holy Ghost are not names but titles. Acts 2:38 Mark 16:16 Acts 2:38 Luke 24:47 Acts 2:38 Mark 1:4 Mathew 3:11 Acts 2:28 Acts 4:12

Acts 2:38 was for the remission of sins for the house of Israel who crucified Jesus. Today we claim Christ righteousness for the remission of sins Romans 3:25. You are baptized by the Spirit today and not by some man 1 Corinthians 12:13

Rexford Murphy what do you do with Acts 2:38? And other examples of baptism ?. Baptism is how we get rid of our sins. Yes, we all will continue to sin because we are in the flesh but he says we will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Hubert is correct. The Holy Spirit helps guide us through prayer and our belief and faith. And desire to change our carnal self to spiritual.

Irene 123. "I do believe in repentance of sins, baptism in Jesus name, infilling of the Holyghost with evidence of speaking in tongues as the spirit which is Jesus gives the utterance."

Hi Rexford, I'm interested in your viewpoint of Acts 2:38...
