May God have mercy upon your lost soul. Look at the meeting Jesus had with Nicodemus, John 3. Read it all. Then know that your demonic error is wrapped in taking verses out of context, thus assigning what Jesus said to a particular audience for a particular stage at the Great White throne, and applying it deceitfully across whatever band you choose to mislead over.

I don't hate people like you; I pity you. Satan has your mind so wrapped up in the heresies and blasphemies of your chosen religion that Truth has little chance of penetrating the demonic armor.

And just so readers get it more accurately, the Holy Spirit of God came into those new believers at Pentecost BECAUSE they had been cleansed in spirit and were added to the body of believers:

Response to Peter's preaching on the day of Pentecost:

Acts 2:37 When the crowd that had gathered heard this, they were pierced to the heart. They asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?”

38 Peter answered them, “Every one of you must repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus the Messiah for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the Holy Spirit as a gift. 39 For this promise belongs to you and your children, as well as to all those who are distant, whom the Lord our God may call to himself.”

40 Using many different expressions, Peter continued to testify and to plead: “Be saved,” he urged them, “from this corrupt generation!” 41 So those who welcomed his message were baptized. That day about 3,000 people were added to their number.

The Ekklesia is the body of believers. 3000 were added to that Ekklesia that day. These are the ones Jesus has delivered from the wrath to come. Unlike Mormons/Mormonism apologists, they didn't work their way to worthiness, they believed and have been counted thereby to receive His Spirit in them.

But of course, because Mormonism has taught you that Jesus is 'a' god, and The Father is 'another god' and the Holy Spirit is 'another god' it is impossible for you to grasp that Jesus gave the Holy Spirit, as an earnest of the greater inheritance, to these who believed and we who believe today.

He is coming back soon to remove the Ekklesia from the Earth, before the wrath of God begins being poured out on those who have refused God's Grace in Christ. Worthy is the Lamb to open the seals. Horrific will be the wrath of The Lamb who offered to take away your sins if you would only believe in His Grace.

Religious thuggery...

A couple centuries ago when ever someone accused another of heresy, the accused would be tried and burned at the stake.

ah the good ole days huh MHGinTN?

Reminds me of my grandfather, "I'll kill you, you f****** Mormon!" My, how you sound just like him...

You quoted this:
38 Peter answered them, “Every one of you must repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus the Messiah for the forgiveness of your sins.

You realize that baptism is a work that we perform right? And that Peter is saying that it's required for salvation right? In order for your sins to be forgiven, you must go do this thing....

Which completely proves everything you're saying is false.

Surely now, you'll amend your conclusion to include this one work we have to do in order to be saved....right?

Those are the exact words of Peter...which you quoted.

Plus, that pretty much nullifies all the "He only have us two commandments!!!" crowd on this forum.

No worries, I have the utmost faith that you'll come up with some totally cringe worthy rationalization around this dilemma. And I can predict that your findings on this matter will circle around completely to your final conclusion will end up being that you don't have to do anything at all. And that will be your story and you'll stick to it...

I want to ask you a question, will you acknowledge that you will be judged by the same judgement that Christ said He would do in Matt 25: 32-46?
