Oh please! the whole bible point to one verse, no way! How does Song of Solomon point to Acts 2:38?

When these men were pricked in their hearts (convicted) by faith (they believed what Peter preached or they would not have been convicted), then and only then after believing were they able to repent, and be baptized unto the remission of sins (not because their sins had been remitted), and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Anyways, all I'm saying is faith comes first and to some it stops there.

I think we agree.

I find it intersting that when the NT. church began at Pentecost Peter gave his altar call like he did.
Christ is the center and central message of the Bible.

This thread is a misdirection. someone got all excited and said something that over stepped regarding Acts 2:38.

the notion that all of scripture points to Acts 2:38 is somehow the official position of the UPCI or the "PAJC" portion of the UPCI is just silly.

Huh ... just answer the question ... let's not dance. This statement has been said by quite a few PAJCers ... not all.

Just like some have called Acts 2:38 is the Gospel .... and most reasoned PAJCers tell you this is not the case ... but it is the response.

We don't have to agree theologically ... but it would behoove you to present your case w/ clarity.

I propose that we all ignore Daniel's question just like he ignored the question about what baptism is necessary for.
