Acts Chapter 2 Discussion Page 24

I know the evangelist doesnt believe in the Tri Unity of God, Three in one and one in three and the one in the middle died for me, and the words from her posts eat as doth a canker. So surely the evangelist believes that Jesus was and is sinless. If so explain how HE said in John 5 37 that "the Father Himself which hath sent me, hath born witness of me. Now in the law it says in Deut. 17 6 and 19 15 At the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established. This fact is also confirmed in John 8 16 17and vs 54 also in 2 Cor 13 1. So if Jesus is only one person, both as, the Father and the Son, He would be deceiving us and lying, thereby breaking the Law and sinning. If He is the Father then there is only one witness to His Diety. What He is saying is that He is one individual and the Father is another, making two witnesses. One God manifested in three persons. If the evangelist 's position is correct, then Jesus is a sinner and could not have died for your sins and mine and we are of all men most miserable.

Hello Janice Gordon I am glad to know that you are researching. However, the scriptures are true. 1 John 5 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost and these three are one . Notice the very last part of this scripture it states that all three are one being. There are no three separate beings in which to worship. All three are one. In Colossians 2 9 For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily . It does not say that Jesus Christ is a being in the Godhead. This is stating that within Jesus Christ being is the fullness of the Godhead bodily.

This is a good answer but , still not very clear if that is what is meant.. Still investigating. Thank You janice

In the end there is no three beings in which you need to call on for help. All you have to call on is his name Jesus Christ because he is God manifested in the flesh. The Holy Ghost was sent back in his name. Therefore, the name of the Holy Ghost is Jesus Christ.

Hello Miguel Let me understand when you are talking about trinity are you talking about three separate beings or do you believe that Jesus Christ was God manifested in the flesh? Because at the end of the scripture you quoted it states that all three are one. The same author that wrote Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh in John Chapter 1 is the same author who wrote these three books, 1 John, 2 John, and 3 John.

If you have followed Acts 2 38 and you continue to live saved then according to the Word you will be caught up in the rapture. However, if you do not have it like the Bible states then you are not saved. God throughout the Dispensations of the Bible has always had one way for salvation. We are currently living under the Dispensation of Grace which is the 6th Dispensation. The sinner pray does not save you alone. If you ask God to come into your heart and you do not follow through with Acts 2 38 then you are not saved. You die in your sin. You have to Repent, and be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and if you truly have repented God will fill you with the gift of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the spirit of God give utterance. These are not my words but the Word of God. These are truly the last days. How many we have left I do not know, but what I do know is that if you do not have it like the Bible says you will not go up. . I hope and pray that if anyone is not saved that they will get saved and those that are saved will stay saved. For those of you that believe in the Trinity that there are three Gods in the godhead, I will continue to teach and preach that there is just one God and his name is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh AMEN.

Hello Joe, Let me clarify something. When I say that there are a lot of churches out here but they are not teaching the truth, I mean concerning true salvation according to Acts 2 38. The oneness of God as found in John Chapter 1 and if I can say it like this witnessed by 1 Timothy 3 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory .

This is an on going thing. It is perpetual . Praise God I can call on the name of the Lord and be saved from what I need to be delivered from . This is faith in the living God Jesus Christ. I believe that Jesus came That He died and that He rose from the dead Therefore I am saved . He is seated at the right hand of the Father making intersession for me. Praise God forever more.

I believe in the Trinity. 1 John 5 7 For there are THREE that bear record in heaven, the FATHER, the WORD, and the HOLY GHOST and these three are one. God sent His Son, Jesus, through the Holy Ghost to be incarnated in the flesh. After His crucifixion, Jesus returned to sit on the right hand of God. Jesus then sent us the promise of the Comforter Holy Ghost from His Father, to be a witness of Jesus John 15 26 , who died to save us from sin. It is a very dangerous thing to deny there is a Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. I sincerely pray for the Oneness people. Our goal should not be bent on converting other Christians, but sinners to Christianity. One day God will send His Son to take His children home, and I want to have done my part to have helped others make it to Heaven.

Thank you Father for JESUS AND THE HOLY GHOST

Part 5 of 5 You have to keep this flesh under subjection of the Lord. You have to pray and ask God to help you with lust of the eye, lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. Once again even though we are made up of three parts body, soul, and spirit we are still one being. There is not three of me. I am one being. In my body houses my soul and the spirit of God, which is the Holy Ghost. Jesus Christ being both Lord and Christ was made up of body, soul, and spirit. He was much man. He ate, slept, and was tempted as we are. As God he was reconciling the world unto himself. In 2 Corinthians 5 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation . In the end, you cannot dismiss John Chapter one and the contents therein.

Part 4 of 5 This flesh will not hinder the soul or the spirit at all. The flesh will die but the soul will live on forever, either in hell or in heaven. In Galatians 5 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh and these are contrary the one to the other so that ye cannot do the things that ye would . Galatians 6 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting . The flesh and body is always at war with one another. This is why Paul stated he die daily.

Part 3 of 5 A person is made up of body, soul, and spirit. In 1 Thessalonians 5 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ . But a person is still just the one individual. In that one individual dwells all three facets of his being. So then the God we serve cannot make himself like this as well? The flesh cried out to the Deity. See this flesh that we look at every day in the mirror is not going to Heaven, but the soul that inhabits this body is going if they have followed Acts 2 38 or during the tribulation get their head chopped off. The flesh does not want to go through persecution or pain of any kind. We as human beings we do not even want to get a cold if we can help it.

Part 2 of 5 You know how it states out of the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. 2 Corinthians 13 1 This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established . Well if you choose not to believe John s writing when he states the Jesus is God manifested in the flesh, then perhaps you will believe Timothy. 1 Timothy 3 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory . I have been writing about the oneness under Genesis, John 1 and 14 , and Acts please find my comments and read them. I answered every question asked me, I believe.

Part 1 of 5 Hello Jacob If we can agree that the church began in the book of Acts and that the Bible does not lie then we have a foundation in which to build on. John 1 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Verse 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. Verse 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. You have to ask yourself, Who was in the world? The answer is Jesus Christ. Who was made flesh and dwelt among us? The answer is Jesus Christ. The Word was God and the Word was made flesh. Who is this Word? The answer is Jesus Christ. Who made the world? Genesis 1 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. God and Jesus Christ is one in the same.

Hello Joe Technically yes you can say that. Mary, the mother of Jesus was in that upper room as well. The reason why I stated that the church began on the Day of Pentecost is because this is when the Holy Ghost appeared unto them and sat upon each of them in that upper room. They were filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak in other tongues as the spirit of God give them utterance. The true church of God is made up of individuals who have followed Acts 2 38. See there are a lot of churches out here, but not all of them believe in Acts 2 38 therefore, they are not teaching the truth. Unless you have Acts 2 38 you are not in the true church of God. 1 Corinthians 6 19 What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? Remember that the scriptures are written to those who are saved. What the scriptures stress to the sinner is to get saved according to Acts 2 38 and stay saved.

The Church did not begin on the day of Pentecost..It was already in existence and had 120 members .. see Acts 1 15 ..

Clarification Peter did not say that about three thousand souls was added to the church. It was Luke who was actually writing the accounts of that day, quoting what Peter told the multitude.

Fraise the Lord Kevin, may many more come to believe what the Bible says and follow Acts 2 38. You are correct there is no trinity. There is no three Gods. There is only one. Ephesians 4 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

In the name of Jesus Christ in the baptized no trinity. One God One Lord

Chapter 2 38 is true baptized becouse of remission of sins and gift of the holy ghost

Hello Gordon Seawood, If we can agree that the church age began on the day of Pentecost and that the Bible does not lie then we have a foundation in which to build on. Jesus said it. Peter clarified it on the day of Pentecost what it took to be saved after the people asked a question. On that day after they heard what Peter said about three thousand souls was added to the church. If you continue to read throughout the book of Acts you will find no one that was baptized with the preacher saying over them while baptizing them Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. The preachers called on the name of the Lord Jesus. If Jesus truly meant for the preacher to say the words Father, Son, and Holy Ghost over the people while baptizing them, don 't you think that his disciples would have called those titles instead of calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ? Or at least it would have been written as such?

Part 2 of 2 If you say that Peter was unlearned, I would like to believe that after the Holy Ghost has come into a person s life he teaches you all things. John 14 26 But the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you . Peter made those comments to the multitude after he received power from on high, through the power of the Holy Ghost. So he was not mistaken, he was not uneducated, he spoke with boldness on that day declaring what it took to be saved.

Part 1 of 2 Hello Wanda Bob, when I look at the Apostles I do not see uneducated men. Matthew was a Jew, a publican or Roman Tax Collector Mark the son of Mary of Jerusalem, John and Peter may have been fishermen, but this does not mean that they were unlearned, and Paul the key apostle to the Gentiles was very educated. He was a Learned Tentmaker, spoke many languages, his father was a Pharisee, Paul studied with Gamaliel a teacher of the law , and Paul kept the Law. Luke was a physician. He accompanied Paul on many of his journeys.

Most of disciples were uneducative simply it was a miracle to them found speaking different languages but in this we see that it was acommissioninng service for the dis ciples to go in world and Jesus was confirming mark 16 17 and Joel 2 28

When Peter spoke those words he was referring to the authority of Jesus the Christ who authorized baptism in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. When the Roman soldiers would come they would declare that they had come in the name of Ceasar. In his authority. This is how they talked in those times. Put yourself in Peter 's shoes hiring the time of his life.

Part 2 of 2 On April 6, 1906 and on through 1915 there was a fervent filling of the Holy Ghost on Azusa Street in Los Angeles, California. The revival was characterized by ecstatic spiritual experiences accompanied by miracles, dramatic worship services, speaking in tongues, and inter racial mingling. The participants were criticized by the secular media and Christian theologians for behaviors considered to be outrageous and unorthodox, especially at the time. Today, the revival is considered by historians to be the primary catalyst for the spread of Pentecostalism in the 20th century . Wikipedia, Los Angeles Journal, and Enrichment Journal

Part 1 of 2 Hello Victor, This scripture pertains to us here in the 21st century because when you read verse 39 he continues talking For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call . The first part of that was to the Jews and their children. The later part of that same scripture is talking about all of us who are not Jews, but Gentiles. It did not have a number on it or a time limit. God is still calling people today, by way of people like myself who is spreading the true Word of God. Also the prophecy was spoken of in Joel 2 28 29 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams your young men shall see visions And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit . Isaiah 28 11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people . These two prophecies were stated many years before the day of Pentecost came in Acts 2 38. On the day of Pentecost was when these prophecies were fulfilled. Then after this many was added to the church even today. Read the testimony under St. John 14.

About what times is talking Peter in this chapter? Is he referring to 21st century time, too? Acts 2 14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words 15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. 16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams 18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit and they shall prophesy

Call on His name acknowledge that He died on the cross for our sins, having faith in your belief, have a solid relation with the father and being obedient to his word, If you love me you would obey me is what Jesus said. Salvation is a free gift nothing we can do to begin to pay Him for it, So if we simply believe he died on the cross for our transgressions and obey his word we will be saved and have our name written in the Lambs book of life! Easy cause we can not repay Him but we can obey and believe in what He said He did, He did! The devil will try and tell you that something that great is neither free or easy! God knows we can 't repay what his Son did so but if we just acknowledge what he did and thank Him for such a great salvation we will be saved.
