    Understanding : Acts 2:38

    Praise God! I was speaking from my own experience. I went to church all my life, but I was almost 30 years old when I was born again of the Spirit. I'm sure I can't be the only one going to church every week unsaved...

    Understanding : Acts 2:38

    I believe the Apostle Peter wrote 2 Peter. The voice of God would tell me if it wasn't.

    Understanding : Acts 2:38

    There are many people that go to church but have never been baptized with the Holy Spirit to be born again. I believe that is when we also receive the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:9-16 (verse 16 tells us we have the mind of Christ.) Romans 8:9 also tells those who have received the Spirit...

    Understanding : Acts 2:38

    I think of the carnal Christian with a carnal mind saying..." 24 O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!"

    Understanding : Acts 2:38

    I still don't know if your answer is yes or no.

    Understanding : Acts 2:38

    Do you believe a born again, Spirit-filled Christian has a carnal mind?

    Understanding : Acts 2:38

    Agreed. But weren't you also taught that repentance was turning away from sin? I sure was. No wonder it didn't work.

    Understanding : Acts 2:38

    I remember growing up in church and being taught that repentance was me turning away from sin. So when I was entrenched in a powerful sin as an adult I tried and tried to turn away from that sin, but it only lasted three days and I was back again in it. But even today turning away from sin is...

    Understanding : Acts 2:38

    You and I may have a different definition of GRACE. I see Peter receiving the power of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. One of the gifts of the Spirit that he received was prophecy which on that day was forthtelling that the prophecy of Joel was being fulfilled. Now tell me why you think he was...

    Right.

    Understanding : Acts 2:38

    cc: @Ritajanice Peter understood Grace. Grace is divine power. He understood it at Pentecost when he received the power. Acts 1:8. And he prayed that the 120 would receive it also in Acts 4:29-31. I'm not sure what you think Paul taught him that the Holy Spirit hadn't. I like this verse from...

    Understanding : Acts 2:38

    The point to Acts 2:38 and the gospel is the fact that the gospel of Christ is the power of God.

    What does it mean to be "Holy?" (Leviticus 19:1-20:27)

    Holy means Perfect. "And you shall be made perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect. Righteous means free from sins of the flesh, sins unto death, clean - sinless. We are made sinless when Jesus first takes lawlessness out of our nature. But perfect can take a lifetime. 2 Peter 1:5-11, John...

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    Before God made the earth and everything on it and the universe too He could see the end from the beginning. His plan was perfection forever. But not as robots but as beings in love with God that would never sin. It is like a smelting pot of gold where the impurities would rise to the top and be...

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    The fallen angels who started the Nephilim are spoken of in Jude 1:6 "And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; 7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a...

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    I was kidding about the fish. But I have wondered if they had to stay in those dead carcasses. Maybe there are piggy ghosts!

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    If God didn't mean everything that moves for mankind and the animals then why did some men herd swine?

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    Hospitals use morphine which is heroine which are from poppies. Hospitals also use fentanyl, which used in the wrong hands can kill us. Right or wrong? I think wrong. It is all fit for food. What we all need to do is fear God and stop trying to change His Word, for we are to live by every word...

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    What I thought was that those demons sure were stupid, leaving the man and still jumping into another live being that was going to kill themselves. Maybe the demons jumped from the pigs into the fish, but probably more likely the sea snakes.

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    That is still because "everything that moves" is food for us including clean meats. Do you remember the demoniac that Jesus cast out a legion of demons? Where did they go? What kind of animal was in that herd?
