Discuss Acts 2 Page 61

I am so thankful that I know who Jesus Christ is. He’s the father, the son & the Holy Spirit. There is a plan of salvation that we must follow and it's clearly stated in Acts 2:38. I don't understand how people can believe that there are 3 separate entities in the Godhead. Colossians 2:9, "For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily". Why do you think Jesus was crucified? He was proclaiming that he was God. ( Romans 10 verse 13 states that he who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved, verse 14 how can people call on the Lords name when they don't believe who Jesus is. HE chooses and sends preachers, to those who haven't heard yet who Jesus Christ is. Most preachers decide themselves that they want to preach.)

I remember seeing Perry Stone, when talking about profecy, and saying ' your sons and daughters shall profecie' he even went on to say, 'Dont mind what Peter said, but there is still future profecy' Well, did not Peter say in conjunction to the day of Pentecost, 'This is That', wich was spoken by the prophet Joel. That was a singular event that was fufilled at the Day of Pentecost! some churches are still stuck in the Book of Acts, and dont take the ' Whole Knowledge Of God. And I worry about Perry Stone, adding or giving his idea without really looking at waht it says.

Verse 23 "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever."

I would have to ***ume the word of God, also, means every verse in the Bible pertaining to born again salvation. All these verses would have to agree with one another, because ALL scripture is inspired of God. Therefore, ALL scripture DOES agree with one another.In other words John 3:5, Romans 10:9-10 Acts 2:38, and the rest, MUST ALL give us the same STANDARD information, pertaining to salvation or the born again experience. Unfortunately, mainstream Christianity "VERSION" of salvation is drastically different---from the version found in Acts 2:38.
scriptural reasoning--SCREAMS--THAT ALL INFORMATION PERTAINING TO SALVATION MUST absolutely be THE SAME.--IN ORDER THERE IS NO confusion>

In Jesus name,I baptize you in the name of the FATHER, SON and of the HOLLY SPIRIT, Amen.

Acts 2 is an account of men actually receiving NEW TESTAMENT salvation. Hello---men actually receiving NEW TESTAMENT salvation---and ENTERING the KINGDOM OF GOD>, just as Jesus mentioned in John 3:5 being born of water and spirit i.e. Acts 2:38. they WERE BAPTIZED IN
the name of Jesus. Folks can argue and debate all they want--the Apostles baptized in the NAME of Jesus. bc-- Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other NAME under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
WHY don't people WANT to understand???---SALVATION is ALL ABOUT the NAME of JESUS, it's the blood of Jesus that saves. It's that blood that saves from sin--NOT the TITLES Father Son and Holy Ghost. Father is NOT a name--it's a title. Son is not a name it's a title---a title only gives reference to a personal relationship--hello-a title only gives reference to a personal relationship-
A title is NOT a personal NAME---Jesus is the PERSONAL NAME of OUR SAVIOR. It's the ONLY name we can scripturally use in baptism.

peter was truly telling them that without being born again no one can inherit the things of heaven. truly people go to church but not yet born again, here peter told people like those that they can't recieve the gift of God. they had to be baptised first so that they can talk to God

Bobby's said about Romans Chapter 10 comment on 7/13/2013, 8:51pm..." Romans 10 is powerful! Especially Romans 10:9@10. It actually instructs a sinner how to be saved."
This is my answer to Bobby's comment.

Bobby--if you will notice--Romans is a letter to the church at Rome--these folks were ALREADY saved. Paul was addressing SAVED folks. Bobby--why not go BACK in the scriptures where the church was started--where folks ACTUALLY received INSTRUCTIONS how to be saved. The book of Acts is scripturally where the New Testament church started. NOW compare the instructions Peter gave those men in Acts 2 to those so called "instructions" in Romans 10:9-10.
IF Romans is actually "INSTRUCTIONS" that lead to salvation--then why is there no mention IN ROMANS of REPENTANCE, baptism in Jesus name, and receiving the Holy Ghost. These instructions were in Acts 2. You mentions Eph 2:8-10--also. Again, WHY are these "instructions" TO OBTAIN salvation SOOOoooo much different from one another???

The mainstream Christian world is TOTALLY AFRAID of Acts 2:38???--BECAUSE it ****s holes in the false doctrine of "believe in your heart and confess with your mouth".
Romans 10 and Eph 2---are EPISTLES--HELLO EPISTLES --LETTERS to CHURCHS OF Rome and Ephesians ----folks who were ALREADY SAVED. These ARE not INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO BE SAVED>

there is only one name giving to man to be save .jesus he,s all you need!!!

This is in response to Pastor David J. Meyer's comments as to baptism be taken only in a singular name of Jesus is sufficient. Though baptism is given in the name of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.. it is still in singular form. All three are the one and the same, just God intended at different time zones of the world for them to reveal themselves does not make them three different persons, so in that case, we need to clearly mention the three names, immersed in water and as a sign of holy ghost anointing should speak in tongues. If your baptism is lacking any one of this or the teaching is taken only partially to convince your argument that "it is sufficient to give baptism in the name of Jesus alone" is a major mistake in understanding the Trinity. There are numerous verses in Acts to substantiate my faith... Acts 2:39 (not for a few selected, it is for all)

Jesus Name is the only name.Name above all names!

the books of acts is teaching about how did you recieving the holy spirit...

Amen Richard It is through His name(Jesus) Acts 10:43) in baptism( Acts 2:38) that the blood is applied ( HEBREWS 9:22) which is required for remission of sins.Thank God for the blood!

the mateo 3:16 baptism to repent the only god can baptize the holy spirit the mateo 28:19 says go ye and teach them to baptize the name of the father and the son and the holy spirit the question is what is the name? of the father and the son and the holy spirit books of acts 2: 38 peter says repent and baptize to the name of jesus and you can recieve the holy spirit.

verse 43. I believe that through his name is referring to baptism in the name of Jesus. Notice that the word remission is used as it is in Acts 2:38. They were imeadiatly baptized in the name of the Lord. The Lord's name of course is Jesus. verse 48

THANK GOD FOR THE HOLY GHOST / ACTS 2:38,10:46/WHICH IS CHRIST IN ME/COL.1:27,GAL.4:6, JOHN 14:17/MY HOPE OF GLORY./ Romans 8:11/

It was inspiring and encouraging at the same time.

IT MAKES ME THINK OF THE FOES WE GO THROUGH WE NO LONGER HAVE TO BARE THEM OURSELVES BECAUSE OF CHRIST JESUS, 2CORINTHAINS 10 SAYS BRING EVERYTHING TO THE OBEDIANCE OF JESUS CHRIST.

Acts 2:38 when Jesus left instructions to his diciples to go forth and baptize in the name not names of the father,son,and holy spirit peter thought what is the name of the father,son,and holy spirit its Jesus that's why you must repent,be baptized in the name of Jesus,and you will recieve the holy ghost.

I see the comments about Acts 2:38-some are very crude and insensitive. Acts 2:38 DOES NOT SAVE YOU
Yes the church started according to Acts 2:38 BUT--salvation is by a consistent prayerful and sinless life. You gotta take up your cross daily if you wanna be saved. Acts 2:38 is ONLY the START of the journey.

Isaiah 9:6 tells us who Jesus really is. He is the Son, Father and God. Jesus is the name you should be baptized in.( Acts 2:38,19:5,10:48,8:37-38)( 2 Cor 3:1) Out of the mouths of two or three shall the word of God be established. Many times did the scriptures say Jesus name baptism but only once did it sayin the name of Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost( Matthew 28:19) If you put them all together you get the name and that is Jesus. ( Luke 24:47) tells where and what name should remissions of sins and repentence should be preached. Matt, Mark, Luke and John are the books that tell of Jesus's birth, life ,death and resurrection and the resurrection begins in the book of acts and is the beginning of the Church. Jesus gave Peter the authority to speak on the day of pentecost in St John(21:15-17)( Acts 1:2) as well as the first chapter of Acts, whom Jesus chose the apostles.
People try to say well who told the apostles to go and baptize in Matthew 28:19? Jesus of course, I agree but who stopped Saul/Paul on the way to Damascus? The same Jesus? YES! Paul baptized in what way and name? Jesus.( Acts 19:5) No other name( Acts 4:12) as well as One Lord, One Faith and one Baptism ( eph 4:5) People will jump over the book of Acts because of what ever reason. Acts opens up the name. If you don't believe me see what is done in Jesus name in the book of Acts. Do a study but before you do it pray to Jesus and ask for wisdom.

Jesus Bless

listen if you think that your getting in GODS KINGDOM WITHOUT REPENTING AND BEING BAPTIZED in the name of JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF YOUR SINS THEN HELL WILL BE YOUR EVERLASTING HOME

ACTS 2 38 is the ONLY WAY TO SEE JESUS

Pertaining to 2:19...Look up; it's time for his return. I can't wait!!!

@Peace,
There are many scriptures that speak of the Grace of God, but a couple of my favourites ones are:
- John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”.
- Isaiah 53:4-5; 4 “Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.” 5 “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”
- Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved."

i feel the kingdom of God is Spirit, God is a Spirit
john 4:24 the kingom of heaven is a relm not place
to enter a person must be born of water. (Baptism)
acts 2:38 and born of the Spirit the (Holyghost)
acts 2:38-39 acts 10 acts 19:5 acts 16 acts 8 read for your self. thanks.

@Tyler,
You say name and not names of the father, son and holy spirit is Jesus. There is power in the name. You may be a son, father, uncle, nephew,… however if you write a check to someone and sign son, father and nephew the bank will not acknowledge it. Father, son and holy spirit are titles the name is Jesus. God wraps himself in flesh to walk on the earth so we can be saved. When Jesus was crucified, he then sent the holy ghost which is his spirit, as our comforter.

Continue---Baptism must be in the name of Jesus!! It's not good enough to use the titles Father, Son and Holy Ghost again I say you have to use the name not his titles, for example I cannot write anyone a check in the name of mother, daughter and wife because I have to apply the name. I pray for all including myself. God Bless !!
Romans 6:1-6 which is death, burial and the resurrection.

Not only did jesus say I am the way the truth and the life no man cometh to the father but by me. this lines up with John 10:9 where jesus says Im the door by me if any man enter he shell be saved and go in and out and find pasture.Also John 6:44, Mark 16:16,and Acts 2:38 So through his resurrection [JESUS] We live through baptism in the name of jesus christ we die to sin. Rom 6:6 Rom 14:7 Gal 2:20 And 2Cor 5:15 never forget Eph 5:2 therefor as 2Cor 2:14,15.

I want to say Tonia's accusation to the trinity as a false doctrine is out of this world wrong, if she wants to use biblical proof then she should look at other texts like Matthew 28:19... Jesus says to baptize in the name of the Father, the son, and the Holy Spirit. or 2Corinthians 13:14, Ephesians 4:4-6, 1Peter 1:2,but there is one thing i want you to do... actually to anybody is to read it for yourself... you do not know if i could be lying to you, know i would never lie on something as serious as this. another thing is i am not criticising you for your thoughts, i just want you to know the truth

The problem is, each gospel that mentions this says all. Peter tells them in Acts 2 repent and be baptized everyone of you for the remission of sins, this salvation that is being required is a national salvation for Israel, that would have facilitated the immediate step into the tribulation period, and finally Jesus the Messiahs return to Israel as king. See Mark 1:5, and Acts 2:38, We cannot pass over Matthew 10:23; But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. vs 22 sets post ascension period.
