No and No siree. IF you read carefully, slowly, you will see that we are telling you it is Grace which causes The Holy Spirit to descend, for the reaction occurring in the heart of listeners, even as Peter preached the coming, frustrated Kingdom. The ONE operant condition for the Holy Spirit seal is believing in the heart that Jesus IS the Christ and sent for our Salvation. That reality hit many listening to the Petrine sermon on Pentecost, as evidenced by the Holy Spirit descending into them. What was woven into the sermon and pricked in their hearts was God's Grace in Christ.

You must have missed smvoice's comments on two different ways of salvation. The one on Pentecost being one of water baptism and repentance for Jews and then for Gentiles the gospel of Grace.

That's right, I forgot. Acts 3 says that the people were pricked in their hearts and cried "what shall we do?" And Peter replied "Believe that Christ died for your sins, was buried and rose again the third day. There is nothing we can do to add to the finished work of Christ. For by grace are we saved through faith, and that not of ourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast."

And right after he said that, the Jews all rejoiced, knowing that Jews and Gentiles were now one body, blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. And that the covenants God made with Abraham and David weren't really all that important after all.

And they all lived happily ever after. The End.

What is our great commission? Do you know it and where to find it?

And BTW: what about those 12 thrones and Paul? Does he need to bring a stool to sit on in the Kingdom?

Where did smvoice ever say there were two different ways of salvation? I have never seen her say that nor do I think she believes that.
