Wow, Sam, you are feeling feisty, lately!

I never give the children I love anything unless they beg, plead, and have a "gift reception" coach standing by.

I thank God for His mercy and grace, for if I had to tarry for long I would have had to suffer the ear shouting, palm strikes etc. and may have ended up punching someone in the nose!

That verses says that the words Peter spoke in the previous few verses were concerning HOW TO BE SAVED. Those words, and MORE, were Peter saying how to be saved. Why else would Peter tell them to do certain things after being asked of what to do?
Whether folks like it or not, people are to DO THINGS to be saved. But these are not things that in and of themselves, make is righteous. Until THAT distinction is made, one will never see this point.Cornelius was also TOLD WHAT TO DO by the angel. It regarded salvation? Of course!
Act 10:5-6 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter: (6) He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
It was with evidence of speaking with tongues whether Acts 2:L38 said it or not.
Referring to the episode in Acts 10, PETER himself said this:
Act 11:15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
And how did it occur?
Act 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Act 10:45-46 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. (46) For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
The verses you cite do not have to ADD any words that the rest of the bible adds for us.
Yaaaaaawwwwnnn. I just woke up from my snooze. Any luck with that verse yet? I just need to find one single, solitary, flippin' time that someone in the bible "sought for the Holy Ghost" and didn't get it.
Yes, I know I'm but it's just so much fun to see scholars come up empty in defending their flawed beliefs.
Re: How many times did you ask God for the Holy Gh
Well it seems those in Acts did not ask for it so they did not use the advise in the book of Luke that was spoken of...lol O how I love these holyghost threads....

I suppose all the devil need do is remove our tongues and victory is his, eh?
Miracles still happen.

Isn't it clear? "Tongues" is a completely different experience than the infilling of the Holy Spirit. Never, ever, anywhere in the bible do we ever find anything as the same planet of what pentecostalism does to people trying to make them speak in tongues, when CLEARLY, not everyone DOES speak in tongues. And then we add "Heaven or hell" to the equation and we just end up abusing people. It's horrifically sad and just plain wrong.
