Discuss Acts 2 Page 47

I LOVE THE SECOND CHAPTER OF ACTS. THE MIGHTY RUSHING WIND AND HOLY GHOST MOVING ON THEM GOD HELP US TO FEEL THAT MIGHTY RUSHING WIND TODAY AND HELP US TO OBEY THE HOLY GHOST.

ACTS CHAPTER 2 1 16 15 In this chapter Apostle Peter was the spokesman to the 12 Tribes of Israel, for what they done to our Lord Jesus. In ACTS 9:15-16 Apostle Paul was saved and a chosen vessel. As also written in 1 TIMOTHY 1:15 For it is better in 2 TIMOTHY 2:15. Praise the Lord Jesus. A-men.

The sabbath was for Israel because they require a sign 1 Cor 1:22. Moreover also I gave them my SABBATHS to be a SIGN between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them. Ez 20:12. And madest known unto them they holy SABBATH, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by thy hand of Moses thy servant: Neh 9:14. If you keep one point of the law you have to keep it all, James 2:10. Do you work on the Sabbath? Death then see Ex 35:2. Do you start your car on the Sabbath? That 's starting a fire on the Sabbath. Death for you then Ex 35:3. Thank the Lord for dying on the cross for our sins. He kept the whole because we couldn't do it. Trust Him not yourself. Wonder why Paul the apostle to the Gentiles Rom 11:13, left out the Sabbath in Romans 13:9. Verse 8 says :for he that love another has fulfilled the law. Whaaaaat? Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God and every one that love is born of God, and known God.

They that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do the other scriptures, unto their own destruction 2 Peter 3:16. Desiring to be teachers of the law understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? Ye observe DAYS, and months, and times, and years. Gal 4:9-10. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an HOLYDAY, or of the new moon, or of THE SABBATH DAYS: Col 2:16.

Was the Messiah LYING to the prisoner on the cross next to him, "HE WASNT BAPTISED ".... And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom...... And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise Luke 23:39-43....Baptism is not what saves a person it is the GRACE OF GOD!! The baptism is an outward testimony of salvation, and Obedience, and also sincere Obedience to GOD requires us to observe all ten Commandments of GOD. That includes the 7th day Sabbath, despite the world view. AMEN!!!

God is a God of Love, mercy, forgiveness, and Grace, and the principles of Salvation are simple and sweet, and all encompassing, but there is one thing He requires in return and its no different than any human parent, that 's OBEDIENCE, why is it you don 't think God is not worthy of it. This is where we cross the line of true Salvation and FALSE SALVATION! OBEDIENCE. The vast majority of people in the world push aside the Commandments of God saying they were done away with, nailed to the cross, especially the 4th commandment, that commands us to keep the 7th day holy, there has been a rebellion over this commandment since it was first given to the Israelite 's, and the rebellion will continue to go on until the Messiah comes in the clouds of Glory. Which could be any time now! Some of you have got it in your head that the Sabbath has been changed but that is a deception of Satan through his organized false church system. You have got to before its to late study Gods word to find the truth about it. GOD does not change, He has not changed the Sabbath day from the 7th day to the 1st day, Satan has done that, So either give your allegiance to GOD or Satan, that 's the choice. The Lord warns those that follow after the commandments of man which is what the sunday observance is. AMEN!!

Yes Justin, when we receive the Holy Ghost after our water baptism, He guides us into all truth. When we read God 's word and speak the Bible 's truths we are really blessed by God. I thank God for His gift of the Holy Spirit! Isn 't it awesome to see the Holy Spirit work in hearts ready to receive God 's Holy Word, save our souls and make us wise! Hallelujah!

this is really the spirit of God at work and we always ask God to baptise us with his holy Ghost so that we ministers speak only the truth.

Geraldene, Jacob on Acts Ch. 2. on comment 1-08-2015am...You got it right in a nutshell.

Jimmy, yes, if only people would study the Bibles and have a stronger prayer life, many mountains, obstacles could be moved. We are so fortunate to have God 's Holy Word and believe and live God 's word being the hands and feet of Jesus as we go. The Holy Spirit is with us as we trust and obey Jesus 'word.Hallelujah!

The holy ghost power is right any how, when God get ready we got to move

WHAT SOME WONDERFUL WORDS OF GOD CAN YOU IMAGINE TRREE THOUSAND SOULS BEING SAVED AT ONE TIME. IF WE AS GODS CHILDERN WOULD OBEY THE HOLY GHOST WHAT A CHANGE WOULD HAPPEN IN AMERICA

The entire Bible is about the grace of God and love brought down to man. The Great Commission of Christ still stands today, so people deciding to follow Christ must first believe in all He is about and what He can do for them. Some followers of Christ believe you are saved before baptism some after. Baptism is still required today. After baptism, a believer is added to the church, kingdom. Colossians 1:13-14 Colossians 2:9-14. I love Jesus, our kinsman Redeemer, who redeemed us when no one else could. God bless you Jacob.

We we believe the whole bible but take in consideration to whom it is speaking. Before the cross is O.T. doctrine Heb 9:17. The verse you quoted said covet to PROPHESY. So according to that verse one should ardently want to prophesy. The speaking in tongues was needed at Corinth because Corinth see Acts 18:1 had lots of Jews see verse 2 and there was a synagoge beside the place where they were meeting and Jews require a sign 1 Cor 1:22 and tongues are for a SIGN 1 Cor 14:22. Those are verses in their context. Mark 16 and Acts 2 has baptism associated with salvation because it is the Kingdom gospel being preached by a man names Simon Peter who didn 't even know of the body of Christ mystery. This was revealed to the Apostle Paul Eph 3:1-9. They said what must WE do in Acts 2. This is as a Nation because the KINGDOM is being offered to the JEWISH NATION see Acts 3:19, Rom 11:26-29, Heb 8:8-12, Jer 31:33-34, 33:8,50:20, Dan 9:24. No one is saved like Acts 2:38 again. Acts 16:31 shows how an individual is saved. What must I do to be SAVED? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and THOU SHALT BE SAVED.

Around the circle reasoning merry go round we go. Tongues are for a sign 1 Cor 14:22 and Jews require a sign 1Cor 1:22. The Jews in Acts 2 are getting the gospel of the Kingdom preached to them, not the gospel of the Grace of God. The second coming is in view here. Joel 2 was not completely fulfilled. Notice especially that the events of verse 19 and 20 never happend. The signs are there to confirm the word Mark 16:20 because the New Testament wasn 't written yet. No one is saved like Acts 2:38 again. In ch 8 hands are laid. In Acts 10 no baptism required. Acts is a transitional book from the law to pure grace. Peter starts getting straight on his doctrine in Chapter 10 then by Chapter 15 he is convinced that it is by grace through faith. No works Eph 2:8thru9. Rightly divide. Who is the verse talking to? All Scripture is for you but not all is TO you doctrinally. Jesus is always the same, yes. But He certainly deals with men differently in different time periods. You can eat pork today but under the law you couldn 't. Baptism was a part of salvation under the gospel of the Kingdom but not under grace. Acts 2:38 is condemned under the church age Gal 1:8-9.

John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother 's womb Luke 1:15. No tongues.Jesus had the Holy Ghost without measure Jn 3:34 and didn 't speak in tongues. Jesus never spoke in tongues although He knows all things Jn 21:17. The apostles had John 's baptism and were never baptized according to Acts 2:38 and straight to Heaven they went. Jesus didn 't baptize Jn 4:2. Thats strange if water baptism saves. Are all apostles? No. are all prophets? No. are all teachers? No. are all workers of miracles? No. Have all the gifts of healing? No. do all speak with tongues? No. Covet the best gifts. Charity is the best gift. This modern generation is so concerned with gifts and not the fruit of the Spirit. Children are concerned with gifts and their own edification 1 Cor 3:1-3. Give one reference where tongues are commanded.

In my last comment that was suppose to be Acts 2:38, C.R. I am sorry that by me using scripture to call you down, you again resort to twisting the truth, I never did, and never will call you anything other than truths out of God word for someone showing a misguided effort to confuse and malign Gods simple message of Salvation AMEN!!

Part 2 of 2: What I have learned over the years it is this, it is not how long or how often you fast it is the sincerity in the fast and sacrifice that you offer up to Jesus Christ that is the key. Let me ask you this. Do you have the Holy Ghost? Have you followed Acts 2: 38? Even though there are people who fast without having followed Acts 2: 38 it helps you to have followed it in order to get the full benefit. In the end, you can fast, pray, live a clean life, sacrifice for others, but if you have not followed Acts 2: 38 before either you die during this grace age or the rapture takes place you are still lost.

Hello Joni G.: Please read my answer I gave to Robert and James under Acts 10 and remember God looks at the heart.

Joni G Tongues when spoken can be understood by all that hears the Holy Spirit speaking through them. Every one no matter what country they come from knows what that person is saying because it 's God doing the talking. It happened once as an example so we will know and listen for when it happens again in the near future when the election are delivered up to the one world system churches of Antichrist. People have done it to make it appear that they are speaking in tongues to have others believe that they are close to God or they are in an emotional high but if you can 't understand it well it 's just making a bunch of noises.

Hello Erik alan silberberg sr.: A person under this Dispensation of Grace has to do more than just keep the commandments. Jesus told Nicodemus that a man must be born again of water and spirit in order to see and enter into the kingdom of God. Peter later clarified what Jesus meant when he gave instruction on how to become saved by following Acts 2: 38.

Part 3 of 3: They have helicopters that will be able to hoover and see into your homes during the tribulation to check and see if a person is praying to God. During the time of tribulation all those who call on Jesus Christ will be beheaded, especially if they do not take the mark of the Beast which is 666, Revelation 13: 7. They have equipment that can detect people in all kinds of places and see what they are doing. There will be no hiding place for a person during this time to hid and worship the Lord. During this time no one has declared that we take any mark of the beast before buying or selling. We are still living under grace. This is why it is very important to get saved by following Acts 2: 38 so that you can miss the tribulation period.

Hello G.: Are you questioning the color of Jesus Christ. We already know that Jesus Christ has Black people in his lineage. There was even a prostitute in his lineage on his mother s side. This is what made up his fleshly DNA. Is knowing this information going to save a person? The answer is no. It is good to know all information in the Bible, however the bottom line during this Dispensation of Grace is that a person gets saved, stay saved and be ready for the rapture. Because if a person does not have it like the Bible states in Acts 2: 38 they are left here to go through judgment and tribulation period.

Hello Mark: It is not my word. According to Peter on the day of Pentecost he gave the answer on how to become saved. During this dispensation of Grace a person needs to follow Acts 2: 38 to become saved. Then you have to continue to live saved according to the word of God. Yes, in order to know that a person has the true Holy Ghost they have to speak in other tongues as the spirit of God gives the utterance. That spirit is the Holy Ghost. So according to the word of God if you have not the spirit of Christ a person is none of his, Romans 8: 9.

Hello Gurjit Singh: Hebrews 9: 27 "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: The only people who are protecting against judgment after death are those who are asleep in Christ. Those are the individuals who have taken on the name of Jesus Christ by following Acts 2: 38.

God has the last word. I have spoken what I perceive and know I am saved. Hallelujah! We will agree to disagree. I know what the Bible says. You say you know what the Bible says. The Holy Spirit leads us into all truth. May God be glorified in all our lives.

Hello Joni G.: I am glad that God brought you back from near suicide. If you have the correct baptism then I am happy for you. However, your experience is not yet complete. You need the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the spirit of God gives you utterance. Paul, 1 Corinthians 14: 39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and FORBID not to speak with tongues. These tongues he is referring to is the evidence that a person has when they are filled with the Holy Ghost. The word covet means to want ardently esp. something that another person has . If I can say it like this, Paul was saying to us and the Corinthian church that we should want this gift and evidence of speaking in tongues. The Holy Ghost experience did not just end in the 1st Century. What about Azusa Street experience in the 20th century? I have experienced this myself. I speak in other tongues as the spirit of God gives utterance.

A godly grandmother I had became a widow at age 56. She was faithful to the Lord until she died. Completely selfless. She was still working taking care of the elderly at age 85. She loved the book of Acts also. She prayed without ceasing. Believed we are saved by the blood of Christ. By grace are we saved through faith. She believed we were made new creatures in Christ and made to do good works for his glory. Amen. She believed she was saved before she was baptized. I was raised that way but was later taught baptism is like a final leg of a journey to get on the right path being under the water is where you come in contact with the blood. When you come out of the water, you are a new creature. We know there is life in the blood and Jesus was the perfect Lamb of God. Christ 's death on the cross is what made a way for us to be in Heaven someday. I love 1 John 5. God will judge all of us and loves us so much. He wants us to understand His Word. We can ask God believing and He will guide us into all understanding!

I believe in Acts 2:38 and was baptized into Christ 's death so I know I am saved. I had godly sorrow to the point of near suicide so I feel so happy that God saved me. His mercies are new every morning! Praise God! Tongues, languages died out in the first century! I worship God every Sunday and everyday in Spirit and in truth. There is abundant happiness in Christ and can be found no where else! Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

A Bible believing christian doesn 't have to follow a teacher who doesn 't know for sure where she is going after she dies as far as I can kick this building I 'm sitting in 1 John 5:13. In the Chruch age we have a KNOW SO salvation and are sealed by the Holy Spirit. According to Colossians 2:11-12 there is an operation of God made without hands and the word of God Heb 4:12 cuts your soul away from your flesh and the sins of the flesh can 't touch the soul. You soul is SAVED but your body isn 't until you get your new one Rom 8:23. The christian can lose their testimony, and many other things, but salvation is not one of them. Now if those who want to believe in works and tongues and baptism to be saved a time is coming where they will have to endure till the end, Matthew 24:13, if they want to try it.
