What in the world are you talking about, with all the giving money statements? What does it have to do with anything I posted? Who are you talking about offering money to, Joel Osteen and John MacArthur and the other host of televangelists? I have nothing to do with them?
I have not the slightest idea what your point is.

My post was intended to show, how in the most detailed conversion account in Acts, the Lord’s supper is not even hinted to.
The money comments were to make it clear to you or RCs and Prods alike, that the gift of the Holy Ghost isn’t some warm fuzzy, “you just automatically receive it when you believe”, but with no miraculous sign. The sorcerer was totally amazed when witnessing the event; so much so, that he thought he could buy the power to give the gift of God.
I don’t believe he would have offered a penny if all he saw was people repenting and making statement of faith. That’s all I was taught for conversion at the Calvinist church I attended the first 28 yrs of my life.
