Discuss Acts 10 Page 3

Hello Gene. I've checked my KJV & also the 1611 KJV, and both show Acts 10:13, as "And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat." Can you recall where you saw those words, "slay and eat"?

A quick check on some other translations, shows that the Darby Translation, Coverdale Bible (1535), Literal Standard Version, Young's Literal Translation, & a couple of others do show it as "slay and eat".

Hebrew days were from sunset to sunset'; the 24 hours were divided into 12 hours of the night (reckoned from sunset); and 12 hours in the day (reckoned from sunrise. See John 11:9) Hence the 6th hour of John 19:14 was our midnight; the 3rd hour of Mark 15:25 was our 9AM; the 6th hour of Mathew 27:45; Mark 15:33, Luke 23:44, Acts 10:9, was our noon; the ninth hour of Mathew 27:45,46; Mark 15:33,34; Luke 23:44, was our 3PM

Expression a night and a day equals a 24 hour day ( 2 Corinthians 11:25) denotes a complete day (Gr. nuchthemeron)

In Acts 10:9 what hour of the day is the sixth hour?

Thank you for your response, I just found your reply. For some reason it wasn't in my replys. I will check back on this thread again just incase you reply to this.

I pray deliverance from any and all attacks against you while you're sleeping! Spiritual, natural or both.

The 1st place I would like to start: Have you received or ask GOD to be LORD of your life? Accepting Jesus Christ as your savior? John 3:15-16,

With that we are sealed with promise, 2Corinthians 1:20-22, Ephesians 4:30, Ephesians 1:13, James 1:5, Acts 5:32, Romans 15:13, Acts 2:28, 1Corinthian 6:19, John 14:26, Acts 10:38, Mark 16:16-18, 1John 5:9-21,

* if you have not accepted Jesus as your personal LORD & Savior. Please do that right now, in prayer. 2Corinthians 6:2, 1Thessalonians 5:9, John 14:6,

Hebrews 1, note Hebrews 1:14, if you have received Jesus Christ as Savior, then the visible/invisible image was it fighting on your behalf?

* If you have been involved with anything associated with darkness & evil knowingly or others around you or in your dwelling have. Destroy those things, get it away from you. Turn away from those things. Ask forgiveness from our Father in Heaven. Matthew 6:23, Luke 11:34-36,

* Ephesians 5:11,

Mishael

He became our righteousness ( 1 Cor. 1:30). I would state that perfect fulfillment was completed at that point. Christ lived His whole life as the perfect Man; in obedience and submission to His parents; partaking in the synagogue activities expected of a rightous Jew at that time. He showed through His actions and scripture that mercy should accompany activities on the Sabbath; and since He was Lord of the Sabbath certain ceremonial rites could be bypassed by both Him and His disciples. The law itself and its standards still are in effect; although it is in society for the unrighteous. We are given the new standards as to how to behave with our motives; as Christ preached regarding lust and anger. Ephesians 2:15 is interesting in that Christ abolished the law; so to speak as far as us receiving the due wages of sin; that is eternal death.

It is interesting that at the time: Christ said the weightier matters were to be looked after; with the rest NOT being undone ( Luke 11:42). It was not yet time to abandon Judaism until the work on the cross was accomplished. In fact; until heaven and earth go away not one "jot or tittle" of the law will expire ( Matthew 5:18). This; clearly refers to all things EXCEPT that which the New Covenant ( Heb. 9:15; etal) abrogates. That is; exceptions are ceremonial laws ( Acts 10:14-16) and the Sabbath Day ( Mark 2:27-28). It appears that because of Christ fulfilling Pentacost; or the eight day ( Leviticus 23:15) fifty days after the Passover; or Good Friday when Christ was in the tomb made Sunday the new day of rest. The early church appeared to meet the first day of the week.

Therefore; we should love the law as admonished in Psalm 119. Only through Christ can we do good works ( Eph 2:10). Only by fulfilling the first couple commands as summarized by Christ can we desire His ways and demonstrate any love towards what is against our flesh nature. May we daily trust the Spirit and die to the flesh. Agape. RP

Thank you Richard for your further comments. As you have given Acts 2:37,38 & Acts 8:36,37 in support of 'regenerational baptism', one could also share Acts 3:19, 1 Corinthians 1:17, and Acts 10:44-48, in support of a non-regenerational baptism. The act of water baptism for believers in the Scriptures is never trivialized, but to make it a requirement for salvation, serious questions & arguments can be raised. If Peter could say that repentance & baptism was necessary for salvation, then he ought to have said so again in Acts 3:19, as what he said there ("Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out"), would be false, for water baptism must be mentioned as an 'essential' for the blotting out of sins.

As well, we could think of the many each day that might be turning to Christ, whether in prison, in hospital, in calamities of wars & earthquakes, even on their death bed, with no opportunity to have someone baptize them. What happens here? Have they responded to the Spirit in error & failed of God's Grace by not being baptized & maybe soon to face eternity? And we certainly can't make exceptions to such folk, since 'no baptism = no salvation'.

Water baptism, I understand from reading the Scriptures, was an event that took place very soon after a soul acknowledged his sin & turned to Jesus; in other words, repentance & baptism were almost a single event - if you turned to Christ you immediately were baptized by the preacher/witnessor; the convert expected to be 'dunked' as a witness of his new life. Unfortunately, that baptismal prototype has since deteriorated over the ages, some even using sprinkling & infant baptism as valid forms of it. Much more could be written on this subject, but will leave it for now since our approaches to it & understanding of the Scriptures are seriously divergent.

Dear "Denise Vaughn". you have received nice answers and scriptures here but no one has mentioned what Peter saw on the roof. He was trained in the Jews law and was only allowed to eat what was written there. So we can only imagine what an outcry, it was when he preached that now all the saved can eat everything, Gentiles as well as Jews.

Acts 10:9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:

10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,

11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:

12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.

15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.

So my advice is eat what you want, but make sure your food does not cause others to fall. 1 Corintians 8:9

I understand this as the spirit of the times we live in when people seek and believe that the plastic market is more useful than the natural. Unfortunately, this is from the evil. Let me be a fanatic for Jesus Christ instead of believing in all the world's attraction to call what God has created unclean. Amen When He has made it clean, so are we in Jesus' Holy Blood which floated on Calvary and Holy Name Jesus, love u all in Christ.

Hello Keron. I believe this verse, Titus 3:5, speaks to us of a one-time act of the Holy Spirit. As you read from verse 4, we can understand that "the kindness and love of God our Saviour" continues onto verse 6, "Which (Love - that Love of God) he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour", with verse 5 being parenthetical between verses 4 & 6.

So Paul is writing about God's Love poured out to us through His Son; & to receive His Love & appropriate it in our lives, the work of His Holy Spirit has to be involved. This work cannot be done by us ("Not by works of righteousness which WE have done", v5), but can only be done & done perfectly by the Holy Spirit. So the rest of verse 5 tells us that the Spirit washes us (our hearts) clean to give us a regenerated life, & also renews us (giving us His Spirit, Acts 10:45, that we can & should 'from henceforth no longer live for ourselves but to live for Christ'). All this simply cannot be done by our volition or power - only by the Spirit & Power of God.

Some folk believe that the "washing of regeneration" pertains to the regenerative act being accomplished when one is water baptized. And this alludes to the 'laver (basin) of washing', i.e. water baptism for whence comes the full regenerative work in a believer. I don't subscribe to this & Scripture doesn't support an extra act to complete regeneration, which would mean something done that is added to saving faith, which then negates the real meaning of 'faith'. Rather, I think of Paul, who also writes about the Church in Ephesians 5:25-27, that not only individually, but also corporately (the Church) whom Christ loves by sanctifying & washing it with the water by the Word, so that she might be presented spotless & faultless in that day. Here we see the same author (Paul), using water as a metaphor of purifying the Body of believers, just as His Spirit washes our individual hearts clean from all past sins & filthiness that once separated us from God.

I believe that not only did Jesus pay for our sins in His Atonement, but that He was also beaten for our healing - by His Stripes. Matthew 8:16-17 He healed all that were sick and cast out all the devils with His Word as also stated in Acts 10:38

In Mark 9 the spirit could not be cast out because of their unbelief.

All things are possible with God. It is us that are limited by what we believe God would or would not do. If we are not ready to help in season or out of season then we would not be able to help when needed or if we have to go and fast for awhile.

Think about it - When was the Word of God not sufficient or faith in His Name not sufficient to accomplish the purpose to which it was sent. Jesus says speak the Word only and Believe!

Jesus was complete in everything! SOZO! Let's bring up our faith and our trust in Him to accomplish His word as we believe in Him!

Humbly, Let us also say with tears, Lord. I believe, help thou my unbelief!

Mark 9:24

May God bless us richly and may He bless you and your family Indeed!!!

1 Corinthians 12, 1 Corinthians 13, 1 Corinthians 14, all three Chapters have much about speaking in tongues. Acts 10:46, Acts 19:6, Mark 16:17-18, Acts 2,

Hopefully this gives you the insight you're looking for.

Tongues simply means languages ,.. an only God can make that happen,.. it means the people listening, will understand it by there own language, the person that God will speak threw , will say every word clearly, understandably , as to the language that each person hearing has grown up to ,.. only God has this ability.

That was very interesting & enlightening, brother Jesse. It would be so easy for the average reader, without knowledge of the Greek, to look at 1 Corinthians 12:4 ("Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit": 'gifts' not in italics) & compare it with, say, Acts 10:45 ("...because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost"), & not see, as you've explained, that the same word given in English is not the same in Greek. The former, 'charismaton', & the second, 'dorea'.

We would naturally read the word 'gift(s)', as the one & the same, whether the gift of the Spirit or the gifts He bestows, yet the meaning of a 'Divine bestowing of Grace' that comes from the initial gift of the Spirit seems closer to the original. Some could argue that one would be pedantic since the difference between the two is negligible, but that's where the Scripture becomes more real & meaningful when we learn & retain such knowledge. Thanks again.

1 Cor 12 is the chapter you need to read concerning spiritual gifts. The Book of Acts records the acts of the disciples in obedience to Jesus great commission to go into all the world carrying the message of repentence, baptism in His Name and the receiving of the Holy Ghost they had experienced. I cannot give you all you need to know in this format, but Jesus said, "If you seek, you shall find." First, repent, be baptized into the new covenant , in Jesus Name, then you shall receive the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. Acts 2:38 This is the new birth and essential to be a disciple of Jesus and do what the original disciples did. Be careful that you believe God's Word and not allow, as Eve, the voice of the deceiver, satan to cause you to question God's Word, for the Word of God will be the judge of our lives, whether we have obeyed it. Rev. 19:11-21. The very fact that you are seeking understanding is a sign that the Spirit of God wants to lead you into all that Jesus died to give humanity. Except the Spirit of God draws man to Him, they cannot be saved from His wrath and many have hardened their hearts and are refusing to believe that God is the only God, who made a fleshly body for Himself and lived, taught, suffered Calvary, was buried and rose again to leave us the example and the plan of redemption from our state of sin into which all are born. God chooses to use people to speak His words because He is God and we must obey Him even though we will never understand His ways, nor His thoughts, for that is why we must know Him, love Him and trust Him in faith that He will do what His Word has said. Luke 4:4 Jesus said,"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God." Jesus is the answer to all your questions, so seek Him and His presence and study His Word, for He is the Word made flesh.

I will pray that God lead you into greater revelation of Him and the relationship He desires to have with humanity.

In Jesus Name.

Patsy,

If I may ask a few questions. You speak of the events that took place in Acts Chapter 2 which I would be the first to say that what took place there was something very powerful and awesome. I can only imagine what those people there were thinking when they heard those who were there speaking in tongues (their own native languages).

How would you compare that with what is taking place in our churches today as far as "tongues" are concerned? You mention "cloven tongues of fire was manifested." Can you tell me what that means? You mention an initial sign of a new birth and that once we are born-again, we are enabled to pray in the Spirit in this heavenly language that Satan cannot understand. What does it mean to pray in a heavenly language? What is a heavenly language?

You mention a "gift of tongues," but no place in scripture does it say this is given to any believer. A gift is something that is given to someone, but where in scripture does it say the gift of tongues is given to anyone? There is only one place I know of in the original text that the word gift is used as in reference to a gift that is given, and it is the gift of the Holy Spirit.

You mention that we can receive the gift of tongues when we have been born again of the water and the Spirit, which is for the edifying of the body of Christ. Can you explain how speaking in tongues edifies the body of Christ? If the body of Christ is gathered together in fellowship, and everyone knows English, why would God use a language that no one understands to get His message across to them?

Lastly, what is this "Initial tongue when we receive the Holy Ghost as a sign of our new birth?" What would you say to those who claim to be born of God's Spirit but have never received an initial tongue as evidence or a "sign" that they have been born of God's Spirit?

I'm sorry if I'm asking too many questions. It is not my intent to offend you or anyone else who speaks in tongues. Thank you so much for your time!

As the disciples and women gathered in the upper room after Jesus ascended, tarried in prayer and expectation, the Holy Ghost, the comforter Jesus had told them would come and be in them, who is Jesus, for He told them He would be in them, cloven tongues of fire was manifested as the Holy Ghost filled each human body with power and they spoke with tongues as the Holy Ghost gave the utterance. They were born again as Jesus had told Nicodemus is essential to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. This was the initial sign of the new birth. Once we are born again, Jesus lives inside us and we are enabled to pray in the Spirit in this heavenly language that Satan cannot understand. Yes, we can receive the gift of tongues, which is given to those who have been born again of the water and the Spirit, which is for the edifying of the body of Christ and also the interpretation of those tongues when the Spirit uses humans to speak to His people.

There is an initial tongue when we receive the Holy Ghost as a sign of our new birth. Paul said "I thank God I speak in tongues more than you all." He referred to praying in the Spirit, which is praying in an unknown language that can only take place by the Spirit of God. Then there is the gift of tongues given to some by God, which are messages from God to His people and the interpretation of these tongues also comes from the Holy Ghost, indwelling our human bodies. Yes, those who are filled with the Holy Ghost as the scripture says the disciples were speak with tongues today. I received the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in a heavenly language as the Spirit gave me the utterance. As I continued in prayer and obedience to His Word, I prayed "in the Spirit" as Paul, for Jesus, who lives in me makes intercession for what I do not know to pray, for the Spirit of God knows everything. I have also been used by the Spirit of God to give messages in tongues and interpetation for the edifying and encouraging of the body of Christ.

Please read the WORD for yourself : * Mark 16:17,

Romans 11:29, Romans 12:5-21, Acts 2, Acts 10:46, Acts 19:6,

* 1 Corinthians 12, whole chapter speaks of Spiritual gifts. Ephesians 4:4-25, these chapters: 1 Corinthians 13, 1Corinthians 14, also covers 'Speaking in tongues '

Hopefully these are helpful in your searching for true understanding

Mike,

There is only one gift that a person is given when they receive Christ. It is the gift of the Holy Spirit. There is no other "gift" that is given to a believer. Tongues was never given as a gift in the early church and it is not given as a gift today. There are many today who speak in "tongues" but how do we know if it's from God? Personally, what I see taking place in the church today is not the tongues that the bible speaks of.

As to the second part of your question, "how does one know that the person who has the gift of translation is actually translating the true message spoken by the person with the gift of tongues?"

That is a great question. How can we know? Also, there is no such thing as the gift of translation. No place in scripture says that anyone needs to translate tongues. In Acts Chapter 2, when the Holy Spirit fell on those who spoke in tongues, no one needed to translate. Those who heard them speak in tongues knew what was being spoken because it was in their own native languages and dialect. They did not need a translator.

In 1 Corinthians 14:27 where it says let one interpret, the word interpret does not mean to translate. It mean to explain. And that's what took place in Acts Chapter 2. There was no need to translate what was being said, but they did give an explanation!

One night while laying bed and praying I was overcome by the Spirit, and I started speaking rather praying in tongues the next thing I know is that it was morning and I had prayed in tongues the whole night. So, I know they do exist are a sign of having the Holy Ghost, Baptism of the Holy Ghost. Now as far as interpretations and Prophesying I'm sure it exists but knowing whether the person is really doing it I don't know if you can tell. I've attended Churches that do it speak and interpret it felt strange. I can tell you this that all gifts and answers to prayers depend on our righteousness, James 5:16

"Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."

King James Version (KJV)

I suggest you do a word search on tongues and study it, comparing all the verses which pertain to it and pray because many times when I have a question on scripture it's revealed at a later time while I'm reading or sometime while praying. But the most important thing is obeying God's word, but one must know it to obey. Here are some verses to help you in understanding God's word: 2 Timothy 2:15, John 14:26, 1 John 2:27, Romans 12:1 I'm not sure why or how I begun speaking in tongues, but I do know it's a sign of having the Holy ghost as we see happen in ACTS, In ACTS there is a verse that says in reference to it that says they only yet believe and have not received the Holy ghost as we. I believe that if you are truly saved the baptism of the Holy Ghost happens so the believing in Jesus is emphasized by believing it in your heart, like it's real, knowing it with doubt. John 5:39

"Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."

faith without works is dead, read, study, pray, and serve God, faithfulness in whatever you do, do it as unto the Lord not man. Obedience.

Do people still have the gift of tongues today? Also, how does one know that the person who has the gift of translation is actually translating the true message spoken by the person with the gift of tongues?

Is speaking in tongues for today according to Acts 10:44-48

Hemo,

I would also say the answer to that is no. Here is why I say this: In Acts 10:44-48, we see the pouring out of the Holy Spirit upon the Gentiles. It tells us in Verse 44 that while Peter was speaking a message that the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. Notice it fell on them that heard the word, not fell on them after they were baptized.

Now look at Acts 10:45. It says that they of the circumcision (That would be the believing Jews), they were astonished. Why? Because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit. You see, the Holy Spirit was poured out on them before being water baptized. We know this because Peter says in Verse 47, "Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?"

Did you catch that? Can any man forbid water (Water to baptize them), that these (The Gentiles who the Holy Spirit fell upon), which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? They already receive the Holy Ghost, and now Peter

So the Gentiles now were receiving the Holy Ghost the same way that the believing Jews were. And these Gentiles received the Holy Ghost prior to being water baptized.

My belief is that water baptism comes after salvation and is a public testimony that a person has already received the Holy Spirit, not as a requirement to receive the Spirit. I know water baptism is a very sensitive topic, so before anyone crucifies me for sharing my belief on this, please understand that I am not against water baptism. I myself have been water baptized and I believe a person should be water baptized as a public testimony to others that an inward change has already taken place in their life. In other words, that person has already been born of God's Spirit, and water baptism is an outward testimony that I already have His Spirit in me and I am identifying with His death, burial, and resurrection.

Oscar Acts 10:26 brief overview. Acts 10:1 Background of Cornelius Gentile and devout committed and

giving and reverenced God in all his house, and prayed to God always again devout. Keep in mind a gentile,

God sends an angel appearing as a man and it frightened cornelius but Cornelius says what is it lord humility.

Then these tremendous words of comfort thy prayers and alms have come as a memorial before God

I.E. He heard You then specific instruction revealed knowledge where to go who to see and where he will be.

Cornelius sends His best and most devout men to carry this out, next God sets up Peter for this

tremendous event in the History of the Church. Verses 9-19 is God preparing at great lengths to show Peter

in Great detail revealed knowledge that he could not know by the five senses only by the spirit what nor to call

unclean and it was shown three times which represents complete biblically [another study numbers in the bible]

so He'd get the point.

Look at Gods timing the moment at the end of the vision so it was still fresh in Peters mind the men

were at the house from Cornelius. Then after the introduction and showing respect to each other they went to

the house of Cornelius. Verse 25 Peter came in and out of absolutely awe and respect Cornelius bowed down in

humility and meekness. Then Peter stand up I am a man like you [notice many were there together]Cornelius

then they share with each other what God did to get them together verses 27 -33 talk about tremendous heart.

The Peter being inspired by the spirit verses 33-43 gives the first teaching to gentiles concerning

and immediately because they already had commitment and respect for God walking the best they knew how

while Peter was speaking Gods Words by inspired utterance they received power from on high and manifested

by speaking in tongues which was the evidence. This only touches this tremendous event.

Dear Oskar in peace. Have you read the Law of Moses? If not, you can do it. As you probably know, many of the Jews still have and live under the law of Moses. Peter is here preaching the good gift he has experienced and received from Jesus, namely the Holy Spirit. And in that kingdom there is no need for regulations other than to abstain from things that are for idols, from blood and that which is suffocated, and stay away from fornication. Acts 21:25

This was revolutionary learning! No one had heard this before. Acts 10:28 and 36-37. Peter and the rest of the apostles had that task and preach this precisely not only to the Jews, but also to those who did not have God's law and 10 commandments, that is, preach to the Gentiles. Can we believe they had Resistance? oh Yes.

But thank God and Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. No one can resist it for as long as they want! All who hear will come to the realization of Truth, sooner or later.

You understand that the Law no longer applies, be it circumcision or sacrifice. Everything we do now is because the Holy Spirit works in us to do what we must do. For example, pray, go preach, guide also further. The Holy Spirit can also specifically ask us to do something we do not want to do.

These days I have something very special and uncertain for me. So you can pray for me if you are led to it. I have to get an alternative in a way. We need to get certainty, put things to the test. So we not do headless things.

The Holy Spirit now lives in our hearts we who believe in Jesus Christ - Has the same meaning as the repeal of the law.

Hope this was an explanation for what you were thinking. God bless you with all the spiritual blessing in the Heavenly world in Christ.

I like to answer biblical questions mostly with Scripture because I believe The HOLY Spirit will teach us.

This full thought of the scriptures you want clarity on : Acts 10:26-46, starts in Acts 10:10-15, with the vision.

Acts 10:28 , I believe Peter was referring to Leviticus 10:10-11, Old Testament Law,

Acts 10:26, Peter didn't want Cornelius to worship him, or reverence him that way, he corrected him.

Mark 1:1-11, Luke 3:21-22, Luke 4:14-15,

Mark 16:6-17, New tongues, Jesus risen from the (grave), ate with them,

Acts 7:8, promise of Covenant, circumcision ; Genesis 17:10, Romans 4:11-12, 1 Corinthians 7:18,19, Galatians 5:6, Colossians 3:11,

Hopefully these are all helpful & pray for understanding

Mark 16:9-20, Acts 2:1-4, Acts 2:5-12, Acts 10:44-48, Acts 19:6, 1 Corinthians 12:1-31, 1 Corinthians 13:1-13, 1 Corinthians 14:1-28,

Hopefully these are helpful.

Jcbu It was not to spread the word of God it was a display of evidence of what they received Acts 10:45+46,

and other places and i have also evidenced this being done in confusion and out of biblical order like other things

of God but that does not make it Gods fault because as Paul states God is not the author of confusion. 1 Corinthians

14 :40

Darnita Scripturally it is the opposite you cannot speak in tongues unless you receive holy spirit or

power from on high, also it is the first display of manifested spiritual ability given by the spirit on the day of

pentecost and available to any Acts 10:26-46 any born again believer along with the other abilities of the spirit.

Remember it is a gift that you operate by the God given ability when needed.

God does not control us we operate the spirit as he allows by obeying his Word.

Dear Darnita. If you start by believing in Jesus Christ. So believe that He is the Son of God. Dead and buried and rose again on the third day. That God the Father raised Him from the dead.

And confess it with your voice.

Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Do this search in the heart for faith? Do you have faith?

The day the Holy Spirit came to us, that day was a promise that the Comforter would come. Jesus promised it to his disciples. All who believe in Jesus Christ will receive the Holy Ghost. And if u will be completely sure of it can u also do what it said in:

Acts 10:44 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. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

And belive in the scriptures :). Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

God bless u and yours in His Holy Name Jesus Christ now and forever. Welcome and Love u in Christ.
