Correct.

Baptism is symbolic as we follow Jesus in his burial.

We are buried with Christ by baptism, which Jim is not.

Jim skipped his baptismal burial with Christ.

Great Jim, just great.

FYI, I was baptized in 1977. Another one of your lies of Satan, the father of lies.

Were you baptized in the name of Jesus Christ(Acts 2:38) as the 3000 at Pentecost,
in the 3 titles(Matt 28:19) as the Baptists, Catholic Church, Mormon Church, Lutheran, Episcopalian, JW, Presbyterian etc churches,
or was it a silent baptism(COC)?

Keep reading...

John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
[39] (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

This is what happened after he was glorified...

Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
[2] And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
[3] And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
[4] And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Acts 2:6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, 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.
Acts 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.




I can’t even force myself to read your ignorant blathering...Save your computer ink...

The devils can believe just like Acts skippers can, but they both cannot be baptized as Acts 2:38 adherers can.



Thus blathers the King Of “ Acts Skippers” .....he skips the Entire Book Of Acts as it goes on after chapter 2....

Feel free to ask this Dotard why he skips Acts 10:44 ( Hint: it blows his stupid and false doctrine out of the water and he knows it)

“ He who * BELIEVES* in Me ALREADY HAS Eternal Life and shall NEVER come under Condemnation—- he has passed from Death to Life.”


This is what Jesus said about believe in him...

John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
[39] (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

[3] And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
[4] And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Acts 2:6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

It is a phenomenon that cannot be explained.

Folks that claim to be Christians refuse the original new birth via Acts 2:38.

I am amazed at the power of the enemy over them, doing everything they can to dismiss this command by Peter.

It does not matter if one is trinity or unitarian, as they run from the first command by Peter to sinners on how to be saved....


37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

38 Then Peter said unto them, 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.


....as Christians say..."sorry Peter, I'll pass....".

BORING!!!

4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

7 And all the men were about twelve.


Paul and Peter preached the same message.

Why were they baptized twice? John's baptism of repentance and the one Peter performed: baptism in the name of Jesus. They are two different baptisms "water" and "baptism in the name". It's obvious that you don't know the difference, which is why you repetitive posts on this same subject are BORING!!!

Skipping Acts 10:44 makes a Stiff- Necked JackAss remains in ignorance....
“Gospel Skippers” Who reject 1Cor15:1-4 are gonna be “ REAL” grouchy when they wind up in Hell...
This?....


44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,

47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. ...


Yes, Acts skippers forbid water everyday.

Acts 2:38 is the original gospel from the original question of "what shall we do".

Modernist, Acts skippers outsmarted Peter and the 3000 with "nothing at all" as their answer.

LOL

Why should I move beyond Acts 2 when my Acts skipper friends are dying in the desert of Acts 2:37, still trying to figure out "what they shall do"?

They won't accept water.

They are dying of baptismal thirst.

I am a good Samaritan to the Acts skippers, offering water at the Acts 2:38 oasis to drink.

You can lead an Acts skipper horse to water but can't make him drink....

They were baptized twice because the name of Jesus had to be invoked over them for the 12 men to obtain remission of sins.

Yes, Acts skippers forbid water everyday.

You don't know the difference between 44 and 47? Really?

Because of your usual eisegesis you fail to notice that in 44 the people received the Holy Spirit by hearing. Water baptism is suggested later for these saved people.

Notice also that a sign of having received the Holy Spirit was speaking in tongues.

BTW, thank you for not mentioning Acts 2:38! There is hope for you yet!

Thanks to you and me and some others, the Truth is out there for those “ with ears to hear”......there’s no use trying to talk to a Stiff- Necked Fool ......I don’t even bother to read their Tripe anymore so I hope they show the wisdom to conserve their computer ink....a “wisdom” that so far has been non- existent.....” Falser” and “abuser” are dead to me.....

No, Water baptism for remission of sins was set as a precedent in Acts 2:38. These people confessed, believed and were baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of their sins. Peter didn’t drop the remission of sins part between Acts 2 and Acts 10. That is the Acts skippers doctrine and is silly.
