Where are all the Acts 2:38 folks (3-steppers)??
 
I am seeing less and less of the traditional Acts 2:38 believers posting here. Who is left that still believes that it takes obeying Acts 2:38 in its completion to be saved??


Is this the beginning of the end for this forum being an Apostolic forum?? Have we gone charismatic?? Is the fat lady singing??

They are busy removing their idol, err, Christmas tree from their homes.

No, but really. I think they are tired of going in circles with the Bapticostals. One group is not going to persuade the other. It kinda gets old, ya know? No new ideas. No new arguments. Same ol' same ol'.

One side believes they are walking the 'old paths'. The other side says 'wait, but our founders believed that the baptists was saved.' etc etc

BTW,
I believe it takes ACTS 2:38 in completion to be saved. I believe it is the fulfillment of John 3:5. I don't see a better interpretation of John 3:5 than that.

But, I just have questions that I can't seem to find the answers to. No big deal. Life moves on, or it should.

agree 100%, the arguing gets old after awhile. I think everyone should preach what they believe and let God confirm the message by fire or annointing. I'm a die hard 3 stepper and no amount of grammatical dissection is going to change that. As if Peter were concerned with grammar, I think he was concerned with the manifestation of the HG. jmo

They got tired of being called Papists, Mormons, sacramentalists and baptismal regenerationalists and left is my guess

I don't have the foggiest notion of what you are talking about...

First, "obeying Acts 2:38 in it's completion" does not indicate that one is saved.

I can name some, but I won't, who have done all of the things some of us believe are necessary, and are as far from God as one can get.

Second, how do we know if someone has "gone charismatic?!"

Third, I don't feel like singing, so just what ARE you talking about?!
