You said that both preached Acts 2:38, that it was hard to distinguish between the two messages. Distinguish means that there is something different. Where or what was the distinction? |
I really don't see what the problem would be. For example, at General Conference, you could just have those that believe in Acts 2:38, three clear steps to salvation, sit all together. Then, those that believe in salvation by grace, at faith, by repentance...however you wanna put it...they could sit in 4 chairs in the lobby.

Sounds like a plan!!!  
We will pass out brochures at the door.
Salvational Plan A or Plan B
Go with Plan A. If that doesn't work and you don't feel saved, you can try Plan B! Something has gotta work!

That was what the people in Jerusalem " saw and heard." They heard:
Acts 2:8 - And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
Have you ever seen or heard that?
I haven't. I have heard people claim it to be so on a couple of occasions, but I have never heard it, seen it nor have I ever seen anyone even attempt to prove it.
Therefore - How can you say that your experience of "speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance" is the same experience as Acts 2:4 when it clearly is NOT the same experience?
And, being "nauseated" by the past discussions on this topic isn't the same as giving an answer. I have NEVER received an answer for this question from anyone - ever.
How can you (or any Three Stepper) claim that an experience that you have never witnessed is the bona fide and essential "evidence" of salvation?"
Going by your own testimony on this one - NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN SAVED since the Day of Pentecost, 30 A.D.

Why not tell them that they have to experience something that no one in 2,000 years has ever even claimed to have experienced?
When they ask, "Why? ... How?"
Just tell them that you pretend to do it and that's all they have to do to be saved as well.
