Acts 10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
Now, wait a minute. You're not saying that Peter here told someone that they had the Holy Spirit BEFORE they were water baptized, are you?
Say it ain't so.
does Acts 10:47 say “ that these should not be baptized” or does it say “that these should not be water baptized”
biblical Christian Baptism involves water, the Holy Spirit and the Church.
the Bible does not teach there is such a concept as “water” baptism, nor “spirit” baptism.
no, the Bible speaks of “baptism”
this is what Christians received from the Apostles and this is what Christians have believed for 2,000 years. The Bible and the Church only know “baptism”
Well, just hmmmm. Is Peter actually acknowledging that people received the Holy Ghost (through faith in Christ) even though they HAD NOT yet been baptized in water baptism??? Kinda blows a big hole in that "water baptized to be saved" balloon, don't it? ;o)
