The Jews thought it was an important question:
“Who are you?” they demanded. Jesus replied, “The one I have always claimed to be.
Lo and behold, Christ thought it was an important claim to make:
He [Jesus] saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

According to scripture, there were good, repentant, water baptized folks that Philip had preached to down in Samaria. He had had a healing deliverance revival, and they were believing in Christ, as they went on and got baptized.
Quote:
|
Act 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
|
BUT they had not received the gift of the Holy Ghost, for he had fallen on none of them until the Apostles layed hands on them.
Quote:
Act 8:16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
Act 8:17 Then laid they [their] hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
|
So much for automatically receiving the Holy Ghost when you "trust Christ" and repent. These folks believed in Chirst ( Acts 8:12) and were water baptized in his name, but did not receive this gift of the Holy Ghost. ( Acts 8:16)

I know Jesus.
Jesus is a friend of mine.
J-Roc, you're no Jesus.

You missed the point...claiming faith in Jesus is no trivial matter!

There are different receivings. What I received when I repented wasn't the same as what I received when I received the Holy Ghost but both "receptions" were life changing events.

LOL. Maybe I didn't say that quite right. What I meant is that we receive a lot of things from God. They aren't all the same experience. We receive different things from Him according to the need.

So the Samaritans who had believed on Christ and were water baptized MUST have received the Spirit, even though the scriptures say they didn't??

Nawww........ they didn't receive anything. I mean, they believe on Christ and get water baptized but are still dead in sin and trespass and spiritually unregenerate. Yep.
