Is Acts 2:38 your god?

He went as far to exhort the listeners that many in the movement don't really KNOW GOD.

One interesting quote from the message and I paraphrase is .....

"You are married to doctrine and have divorced youself from Deity."

What say ye of this message? I will post audio of the message later.

Have some made Acts 2:38 and standards THE MESSAGE ... while Jesus is sitting on the outside looking in????


Just asking a question ....

What I can tell u if you or I posted that as our material. We would be slapped. But if Jeff Arnold preaches it might be heard.

Acts 2:38 is our way to God.

After that God would like to take us on a journey.

However we stay on the square marked Acts 2:38.

Y'all keep having fun and playing nice and enjoying the discusion!

Have a funeral showing I must attend with Mrs. MOW.

He was not saying it's wrong to love Acts 2:38, but there is so much more in the word beyond Acts 2:38

Consider what Hebrews says
Heb 6:1 Therefore, having left the discourse of the beginning of Christ, let us go on to full growth, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

Heb 6:2 of the baptisms, of doctrine, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

Heb 6:3 And this we will do, if God permits.

Praxeas,

I, having read the full body of Daniel's posting in the past few days, completely disagree. We all have agendas, and Daniel's is crystal clear here.
He has every right to believe whatever he wants to - no matter how cloaked, misguided, and wrong it may be.

BTW, I do agree Acts 2:38 is foundational.
I just don't think I am an idolater for loving that message so much.

PP you're right ... Dan has an agenda and it's your job to uproot it.

PP I respect and love you. We don't have to agree on everything. But to call me out is not cool.

It sounds cliche but let's agree to disagree.

But to call me an ultracon, and to paint me as rigid and an obstructionist is perfectly okay? I see how this works friend. No problem.

Oh and an idolater as well.
