I see a quotation from William Branham on your signature line are you a follower of him?

No problem...

But is Acts 2:38 two commands or 3 commands?

No, I am not a follower of Branham. Branham was NOT crucified for me. Jesus Christ was crucified for me.

But I love the quote...

Until they received... the promise. That's what I'm saying. Thanks for helping me make the point.

Act 1:4 ¶ And, being assembled together with [them], commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, [saith he], ye have heard of me.

This was before the initial outpouring of the Holy Ghost (the promise we have when we fulfill the commands).

They were told to wait there until the day God had chosen to initially pour out his spirit in the NT fashion. They waited... and when the time for the promise to be released came... they all received the Holy Ghost.

It's a promise. They did as they were commanded... and they received it.

Again... you and make a great team in making this point.

True eternal life(which in truth is the Holy Ghost) is a promise but there is no salvation without it.
Yet the command was there.

He asked you if you believe the "MESSAGE" as promoted by followers of Branham. They often call it THE MESSAGE. Serpent seed, etc.
