Is Acts 2:38 your god?

There is no way in hades Jeff Arnold meant that as a slam against people who believe Acts 2:38.

Don't you think Jeff Arnold was trying to say that Acts 2:38 is for the sinner.

After you have walked the formula.

Move on in God and grow in grace.

So many folks are stuck on the square labeled Acts 2:38.

It almost makes me feel like we need to have a mass re-baptism each year.

Reminds me of those who think only natural Jews are all that is

important to God! Yes Jesus came from the tribe of Judah, but

Jacob had a "bunch" more children. All were important to the father,

Jacob (Israel). I am one of eleven, but I love every one of those

other ten siblings. Why! Because I know our father loved everyone

of them "young'ens!! A "TRUE" father loves all that He has birthed!!!

I had a wonderful earthly father who loved us all. Didn't mean we

didn't need correcting at times when we were "children" but when it

was all over, we still loved and respected Daddy. He also taught us

as soon as we were old enough to know anything, to love his God!!!

All eleven have a healthy, respectful, reverance for God today!! We

were taught by an earthly father who loved his heavenly Father!!!

One of the things Jesus taught so strongly was for those men to

love one another as He had loved them!! It could be said that we all

could use a fresh baptism of LOVE!! Yes, I believe the initial evidence

of being "born again" of water (baptism) and Spirit (anointing) but after

we have been "planted" with Him, there should in time be some fruit

growing on that "tree". The Word says that you will know them by their

fruit! The Bradford pear tree has beautiful flowers for a season, but if

your want "real" pears, good for eating, go to the Bartlett. Juicy, tasty,

Bartlett pears. The Bradford tree looks good (for a little while) but the

fruit is small, knobby, good for nothing but to bloom for a season. Jesus

looked for something on that fig tree. He looked for fruit!!

This was the spirit of JA's remarks too Bishop ... He too is a 'water and spirit' fella ... but he also has seen the need for a deeper walk.

As I said, I don't much follow baseball, pettitte didn't do much for the astros, he is looking good back in NY, arod and damon are still in the line up? They should lose those dudes.

Now this is a hijacked thread.

From "Is Acts 2;38 your God" to the 2007 New York Yankees line up may be an internet record.


Wooooo hoooo!

that's god ... with a lower case g .... Brother John ..... you asked so I answered.

[John Atkinson]

Forgive, typo. Acts 2:38 is a waypoint on the road to heaven. It isn't a god. But it is part of the road to God

[RevDWW]

Acts 2:38 is not God, but it does mention Him.............in a very important, specific, and instructive way.

Absolutely! Acts 2:38 will get you born again but who wants to remain

a "baby" forever! We used to sing in Sunday School:

Read you Bible, pray every day,
Pray every day, pray every day.
Read your Bible, pray every day,
And you'll grow, grow, grow!

Bro. Dan, there is no way you would have known, but

Falla39 is the lady in the pic!!!
