What about what Jesus taught, you guys run to the Apostles like they are the God and ignore everything Jesus said before Acts, I believe in Repentance, and water baptism, but all the Water is for is a symbolic showing just as
Michael the Disciple said above"
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. 33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. They were saved in Verse 31, then they spoke the word of the lord, then they got Baptised..
And how do you guys that hold
Acts 2:38 near and dear with the evidence explain "And you "will receive" part of this verse....not you might or you have to try or have the preacher shake it out of you or you have to pray for it for 10 years then it happens..etc,etc,etc It says you "will recieve"
Acts 2:38
New International Version (NIV)
[B]
38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.
And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.[/B]
