How can today's Christians justify a water baptism after Jesus said Acts 1:5 w/o using Scriptures from Peter not REMEMBERING (Acts 11:15-17)?
JESUS SAID IN ACTS 1:5
“For John truly baptized with water; (((BUT))) [Contrast on preceding in this sentence] ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.”
HOWEVER PETER SAID WATER IN ACTS 2:38 WHEN HE SAID
"...Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."
BUT AS PETER "WAS REHEASING THE MATTER" (I CORINTHIANS 11:4) IN ACTS 11:15-17 HE SAID
15 "And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
16 (((THEN REMEBERED I THE WORD OF THE LORD,))) how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
(((PRECISELY))) WHAT JESUS SAID IN ACTS 1:5! (((VERBATIM AS TO WHAT PETER DIDN'T REMEMBER!))
17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?"
PETER "REPENTED" IN ACTS 11:17.
HOW CAN TODAY'S CHRISTIANS STILL JUSTIFY A WATER BAPTISM AFTER JESUS SPOKE ACTS 1:5 BUT PETER SAID WATER BAPTISM (ACTS 2:38) AND (((DIDN'T REMEMBER))) UNTIL ACTS 11:15-17?
DON'T THEY REALIZE THEY'RE FOLLOWING PETER AND NOT JESUS AS THOUGH
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>PETER IS THEIR FIRST POPE<<<<<<<<<<<<<
LIKE THEIR CATHOLIC (((CULT))) BELIEVES?
5 AnswersReligion & Spirituality2 months agoWhy don't today's Christians realize they don't have ANYTHING being DEAD spirits not QUICKENED back to life by His POWER (Acts 1:5;8)?
WHY DO TODAY'S CHRISTIANS BELIEVE THEY HAVE (((THE LOVE OF GOD))) TO LOVE (((ANYONE))) WHE
"THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS (((BY))) THE HOLY GHOST" (ROMANS 5:5)
(((BUT)))
THEY HAVEN'T BEEN HOLY SPIRIT BAPTIZED OR THEY WOULD HAVE JESUS' PROMISES OF
(((POWER))) (ACTS 1:8) RECEIVED AFTER HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM (ACTS 1:5)
(((SPIRITUAL GIFTS))) (I COR 12:7-10) RECEIVED AFTER HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM (I COR 12:13) AND
(((SIGNS FOLLOWING))) (MARK 16:17-18) RECEIVED AFTER HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM (MARK 16:16)
TO ((("CONFIRM))) THAT THE LORD IS WORKING WITH US" (MARK 16:20).
THAT IS (((OUR PROOF!)))
You know we were born "DEAD spirits" (Romans 5:12; I Cor 15:21-22)
To whom Jesus commanded "You must be born again of the spirit" (John 3:5-7)
Just like a physical dead body needs the power of a defibrillator to be quickened back to life
Likewise our spiritually dead spirits need the POWER OF GOD received after Holy Spirit baptism (Acts 1:5;8) to
"QUICKEN" us (I Cor 15:45) "back to life" (Ephesians 2:1) as we are "born again of the spirit" (Jn 3:5-7).
Until then, we remain "DEAD spirits" (Romans 5:12-14; I Cor 15:21-22)
And "the DEAD knows nothing at all" (Ecclesiastes 9:5)
Therefore they have NOTHING AT ALL including "the love of God" (Rm 5:5) to love anyone NOT EVEN GOD!
7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality2 months agoDo Atheist and unbeliever show their IGNORANCE of the catholic church who eliminated PROOF of God w/the belief in a powerless water baptism?
VS JESUS' BAPTISM WHO GIVES (((POWER))) (JOHN 1:33; ACTS 1:5;8) SO THEY CAN (((SEE WITH THEIR NATURAL EYES))) "HEALINGS" AND "MIRACLES" (I CORINTHIANS 12:9-10) THAT IS (((OUR PROOF)))?
3 AnswersReligion & Spirituality2 months agoIsn't it coincidental God sent one just in time to stop the LIE that Mk 16:9-20 is fraudulent that would eliminate more of the POWER OF GOD?
THROUGHOUT SCRIPTURES?
DEUTERONOMY 19:15, MATTHEW 18:16 AND II CORINTHIANS 13:1 ALL SAY
"WHERE THERE ARE TWO OR THREE (((WITNESSES)))
>>>>THE WORD IS ESTABLISHED"<<<<
ACTS 1:5 SAYS
HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM (((THEN))) >>>POWER<<< (ACTS 1:8)
I CORINTHIANS 12:13 SAYS
HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM (((THEN))) >>>POWERFUL<<< "SPIRITUAL GIFTS" (I CORINTHIANS 12:7-10).
MARK 16:16 SAYS
HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM (((THEN))) >>>POWERFUL<<< "SIGNS FOLLOWING"<<< (MARK 16:17-18)
CONSEQUENTLY >>>THE WORD HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED"<<< FOR MARK 16:9-20.
WHY WOULD THE "CATHOLIC CHURCH" CREATE (((FAKE NEWS))) TO ELIMINATE (((MORE))) OF THE POWER OF GOD THROUGHOUT SCRIPTURES SINCE THEY'VE ALREADY (((ADDED))) A POWERLESS WATER BAPTISM TO THE "ONE BAPTISM" (EPHESIANS 4:5) THAT JESUS DOES "WITH THE HOLY GHOST" (JOHN 1:33; ACTS 1:5) WHO GIVES (((POWER))) (ACTS 1:8)?
Religion & Spirituality2 months agoSince just "one baptism" (Eph 4:5) that Jesus does Who gives POWER to be a Christian Why do today's Christians deny the POWER OF GOD to be a?
CHRISTIAN?
THEY DON'T WANT TO BE CHRISTIANS BUT REMAIN HYPOCRTIES?
JOHN 1:33 SAYS "THE SAME IS HE WHICH BAPTIZES WITH THE HOLY GHOST"
JESUS PROMISED (((POWER))) (ACTS 1:8) AFTER HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM (ACTS 1:5)
JOH 1:12 SAYS
"BUT AS MANY AS RECEIVED HIM TO THEM GAVE HE (((POWER))) [ACTS 1:5;8] TO BECOME THE SONS OF GOD"
WHO ARE THE (((ONLY))) CHRISTIANS (I CORINTHIANS 12:11-13).
WHY DO TODAY'S CHRISTIANS CONTINUE TO (((LIE))) CLAIMING CHRISTIANITY?
DON'T THEY KNOW THEY ARE (((USING THE LORD'S NAME IN VAIN?)))
7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality2 months agoDo JW's really believe they can exercise faith from a DEAD spirit to get into the new system of things?
If so, why would they believe that when born a "DEAD spirit" (Romans 5:12-14; I Corinthians 15:21-22) and "the DEAD knows nothing at all" (Ecclesiastes 9:5) not even that they have faith.
Doesn't Romans 10:14-15 say one "HEARS" the message and "BELIEVES" the message from a "SENT PREACHER" and faith is NO WHERE involved?
"DEAD spirits" (((MUST))) be born again of the spirit" (John 3:5-7).
Even a DEAD physical body needs the POWER of a defibrillator to be QUICKENED back to life
LIKEWISE, the POWER OF GOD comes upon us" (Acts 1:8) after Holy Spirit baptism (Acts 1:5) WHO "QUICKENS" us (I Corinthians 15:45) "back to life" (Ephesians 2:1) from our "DEAD spirits" as we are "born again of the spirit" John 3:5-7) and are resurrected from our graves (Ezekiel 37:12-14) in accordance with I Corinthians Chapter 15.
FIRST THINGS FIRST!
"DEAD spirits" must be made alive again (((FIRST!)))
2 AnswersReligion & Spirituality2 months agoRe I Corinthians 1:27 Has God chosen me with bad grammar to confound the wise so they can focus on grammar and miss the truth?
I Corinthians 1:27 says
“But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;”
Is it like Jesus speaking in parables so people couldn't hear (Matthew 13:10-15) to fulfill Matthew 7:13-14?
"I spoke through the prophets and multiplied their visions; I gave parables through the prophets" (Hosea 12:10).
"Now speak a parable to this rebellious house and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: 'Put the pot on the fire; put it on and pour in the water (Ezekiel 24:3).
26 "Brothers, consider the time of your calling: Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were powerful; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 He chose the lowly and despised things of the world, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are" (I Corinthians 1:26-28).
You people better watch concentrating on things like grammar or you will throw the baby out with the bath water!
7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality2 months agoWell today's Christians is it true NO POWER, NO JESUS since He quickens back to life & we become sons of God by His POWER (John 1:12-13)?
RECEIVED AFTER HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM (ACTS 1:5;8)?
His (((POWER))) received after Holy Spirit baptism (Acts 1:5;8) is WHO (I Corinthians 15:45)
"QUICKENS us back to life" (Ephesians 2:1)
From our 'DEAD spirits" (Romans 5:12-14; I Corinthians 15:21-22)
His same (((POWER))) to become the sons of GOD" (John 1:12-13).
How can one be a Christians without receiving His (((POWER))) [Acts 1:8] after Holy Spirit baptism [Acts 1:5]?
3 AnswersReligion & Spirituality2 months agoAre today's Christians the most pitiful specimens of Christianity who claim to be Christians but DEAD spirits, powerless & quiet (Lk 19:40)?
INSTEAD OF BEING "CHOSEN AND ORDAINS BY JESUS" (JOHN 15:16) WHEN HE "BAPTIZES US WITH THE HOLY GHOST" (JOHN 1:33; ACTS 1:5) WHO GIVES (((POWER))) [ACTS 1:8] TO BECOME THE SONS OF GOD" (JOHN 1:12-13)
TODAY'S CHRISTIANS OPTED MAN'S DOCTRINE OF A POWERLESS DO NOTHING TRINITY WATER FAUCET BAPTISM (MATTHEW 28:19+) THAT GIVES (((NO POWER)))
NOW THEY ARE ((("QUIET")))
JESUS SAID IN LUKE 19:40
"IF THESE REMAIN (((QUIET))) I'LL MAKE THE STONES CRY OUT"
ISN'T THAT (((PITIFUL)))???
LESS THAN A (((STONE?)))
IT IS HIS (((POWER))) [ACTS 1:8] THAT COMES UPON US" (ACTS 1:8) AFTER HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM (ACTS 1:5)
WHO "QUICKENS US" (I CORINTHIANS 15:45) "BACK TO LIFE" (EPHESIANS 2:1) FROM OUR "DEAD SPIRITS" (ROMANS 5:12-14; I CORINTHIANS 15:21-22)!
ISN'T THAT (((PITIFUL)))???
(((STILL))) A "DEAD SPIRIT" SINCE (((NO POWER))) CAME UPON THEM TO QUICKEN THEM BACK TO LIFE IN THEIR POWERLESS TRINITY WATER BAPTISM?
WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO REALIZE
>>>HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM IS THE PREREQUISITE FOR CHRISTIANITY?<<<
