    When did the Church begin?

    "All flesh" does not mean every single person would be baptized with the Holy Spirit nor animals since animals have flesh. All flesh at that time was made up by two groups, Jews and Gentiles. When the Apostles (Jews) were baptized with the HS Peter directly ties it to Joel's prophecy (Acts...

    Judas was at that present time a devil but not always a devil...he became a devil. He was not born a thief or betrayer but is what he become. Lk 6:13-16 Judas was a disciple of Christ....."His disciple" 'his' being a possessive pronoun, Judas was a possession of Christ who was given to Christ...

    When did the Church begin?

    He baptized the Apostles (Jews) in Acts 2 and Cornelius (Gentile) Acts 10 fulfilling Joel's prophecy.....fulfilling meaning to cease, to being to an end.

    When did the Church begin?

    Heb 9:15 when Christ was crucified, His blood flowed back to wash away the sins of those who lived under the OT law that obeyed God. Abraham did not obey the NT law for it did not yet exist but obeyed the laws given him by God under the Patriarchal law he lived under.

    Acts 2:38 is one. This did not come into effect until several weeks after Christ died.

    The text does not say Judas was always a devil always a betrayer for that is what he become.

    When did the Church begin?

    From Mt 3:11 only the Lord would baptize men with the Holy Spirit, not Paul nor any other men could baptize with the Holy Spirit. Those Ephesians had been water baptized with John's baptism but by Act 19 John's baptism was obsolete, invalid having been replaced by Christ's water baptism of the...

    When did the Church begin?

    Those that would obey Christ would be saved. I have no denomination. The Bible teaches there is one body. one faith not many bodies with many different faiths.

    'Speaking in Tongues', true vs false.

    You disagree that the Apostles in the context did not believe Christ was seen alive although the verses says they did not believe? Why would Jesus need to "upbraid them with their unbelief"? The plural "they" of v17 refers back to the nearest plural antecendent "the eleven" of v14 who again...

    'Speaking in Tongues', true vs false.

    I wholly disagree that Jesus was at anytime imperfect or not complete only to later be perfected.

    'Speaking in Tongues', true vs false.

    You said you was a hearer but could not understand yet Paul's point in 1 Cor 14 the tongue speaker is to be quiet if what he is speaking cannot be understood or no one is translating what is being said. If the "tongue speaking" you heard was like in the youtube video I presented then what you...

    Are you suggesting that Judas was never really saved? Jn 6:66 "From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him." it is possible for one to leave Christ, fall away and become lost. Jn 6:67 "Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?" The word 'also'...

    'Speaking in Tongues', true vs false.

    The last 12 verses are found in over 99% of Greek texts....you would have us all ignore this fact to focus on two spurious manuscripts? Those 12 verses are found in the Alexandrinus one of the big three unical manuscripts yet you write off the Alexandrinus? It would be just as 'genuine' as the...

    Being chosen to be an Apostle God did not override Paul's free will. God foreknew Paul, if approached as he was on the road to Damascus, would choose of his own free will to obey. Paul did have the free will to choose to disobey (Acts 26:19). Paul's salvation though was not an unconditional...

    When did the Church begin?

    The only two places in the NT people were baptized with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues (and neither being baptized with the HS or speaking in tongues had to do with their personal salvation) was the Apostles in Acts 2 and Gentiles in Acts 10 which fulfilled Joel's prophecy whereby that...

    When did the Church begin?

    A person is saved in the sense that God's promises are so certain as if it already has happened, that is, if one becomes a Christian and faithfully remain a Christian he will for certain be saved, hence he is said to be "saved" i.e., have everlasting life as in Jn 3:16.

    If faith were alone, that is, a faith void of repentance confession and baptism then it is dead being alone. Therefore faith alone (faith void of repentance) cannot save for faith without repentance is dead. As James might say.....prove your faith without repentance and I will prove my faith...
