The Key to Salvation is... the Book of Acts...
 

Following the Book...and using the Key to walk thru the Door into the Throne Room of God...

Repentance...

Baptism in Jesus Name...

and the Infilling of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in an unknown tongue...

Anything else is a Half-truth, if not false Doctrine...

The 120 including Mary the mother of Jesus and his brothers were there...

Even Mary who carried the Christ child had to be filled with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues....

Three steps is a complete misnomer..it is the entire experiance of the infilling and indwelling of God's Spirit in Man....

Anything else is simply not acceptable... how could it be??

Unless you take out the entire Book of the Acts of the Apostles...

Then the Comforter is of none importance and effect only impressionistic on the soul man instead of the infilling of the Holy Ghost...

God is the judge we know..but when it comes that time for me and you to stand before him... What will your answer be when you tell him you didn't believe His Spirit in You was necessary for Salvation... and His Plan wasn't your Plan??

I will tell you...YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN!! And it's not just acceptance of a Good Word...but you MUST BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST!..... It's the only way a Supernatural Change will come into to your life...

period...

Preach!

Re: The Key to Salvation is... the Book of Acts...
 

Truth is truth and always will be truth. The book of Acts is the foundation that Jesus laid down in me when I was born again. No man better dare to attempt and build from a different blueprint. They will fail.

Re: The Key to Salvation is... the Book of Acts...
 

Yes let's do believe the book of Acts.

This tongue talking was referred to as prophecy,Why ? Because the people understood what was being said.They were giving prophecy to these people in their own tongue.The following scripture will teach us this.When the pentecostals say they are filled with the Holy Ghost and speak in tongues no one understands.

Acts2:

1: And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2: And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3: And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4: And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5: And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6: Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
7: And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
8: And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
9: Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
10: Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
11: Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 12: And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
13: Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
14: But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
15: For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
16: But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17: And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
18: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy

What happened to your prophecy and dreams and visions when your filled with the Holy Ghost ?

Believe what God says NOT man.God said they would prophesy and have dreams and visions when he pours out his Spirit.Acts.2:16: But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel.17: And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

The word prophecy means to preach and teach and fortell.We all prophecy or witness.We prophecy to people in their own tongue (language) as they did on the day of pentecost and other times as written in the book of acts or we prophecy to people in our own tongue (language).Acts1:8: But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Re: The Key to Salvation is... the Book of Acts...
 

Please note what happened here.Acts4:4.First the disciples were preaching and got 5,000 new believers but they were not filled with the Holy Ghost yet.Then later they went back to their own company of 5,000 new believers and prayed for them and they were filled with the Holy Ghost and spoke the word of God with boldness (Prophecy).They didn't speak with tongues when they were filled this first time, verse 23-31

23: And being let go, they went to their own company,(5000 new believers) and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.29: And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they (NOTE they NOT US) may speak thy word

30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.:31: And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they(5000 new believers) were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.(prophecy)

Re: The Key to Salvation is... the Book of Acts...
 

On the day of Pentecost they were prophesying in tongues and it was being interpreted in 17 different tongues from the mouths of the speakers to the ears of the hearers

(Ways tongues is interpreted,)1 Cor.14: 6. Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?

(On the day of Pentecost it was interpreted because all the hearers understood in their own language.So there was the gift of tongues and the interpretation of tongues and prophecy.Three gifts on the day of Pentecost.)Acts2:[8] And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

Re: The Key to Salvation is... the Book of Acts...
 

Joelel...

The 120 in the Upper Room were speaking in an unknown tongue to them.... they were Gallileans.. and yet they were speaking multiple langauges...

Are you denying that speaking in Tongues is not a part of the New Birth??

and if you are...You are Wrong... it is very important for the New Believer to be filled with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues....which are unknown to the speaker... as they were unknown to those who were in the Upper Room... which were made known to those who did not have the Holy Ghost but was a witness to them by a Supernatural Work of God...



:hmmm....
