Re: *** Poll: Does all scripture point to Acts 2:3

Actually, Acts 2:38 points to the complete work of Christ, death, burial, and resurrection.


Acts Chapter 2 is the culmination of Gods plan for the saving of souls. It is the birth of the New Testament Church.

Re: *** Poll: Does all scripture point to Acts 2:3

I am sorry if this gets against some folks' belief, but Acts 2:38 is not the most important verse in scripture...

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God." {John 3:16-18}

This is the most important verse in the Bible.

Re: *** Poll: Does all scripture point to Acts 2:3

HoHum....

What's the point??

Trying to get folks to admit that Acts 2:38 isn't important??

This is getting to be old...

What is the most important verse?

Why aren't complimenting Acts 2:38 by all the supporting scripture vs. being adversaly opposed to supporting it and casting shadow and doubt on it??

It's just wrong...

All the Bible was given to men and women as a lighted path for us to follow equally important and equal in Truth... to deny it is to deny it's power and authority in your life..
But then again authority is or has been a bad word around here...

AMEN!

And I would also add.... "It is finished."

Re: *** Poll: Does all scripture point to Acts 2:3

The bible that contains all scripture is God's plan for the salvation of man. Therefore, all scripture point to the message of N.T. salvation as seen in Acts 2:38.

LOL!
I'm not sure if it matters what points to what, or which scripture is more powerful. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and profitable for reproof, correction, and training in righteousness.

The "point" that matters is to be obedient to the revealed word of God, rather than try to pry open the mind of Christ to inquire which of his words are more important than others.

Calvary happened. Without it there could be no Acts 2. They are interconnected and interdependent.

Re: *** Poll: Does all scripture point to Acts 2:3

Not to dimish the importance of Acts 2:38 but, I have to vote "NO". The Scriptues point to Jesus:

Jhn 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

Re: *** Poll: Does all scripture point to Acts 2:3

All scripture -- including Acts 2:38 -- points to the cross -- the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.
