If you are referring to my posts, I have not said repentance is not a requirement for salvation. I said repentance is not a requirement to be filled with the Holy Ghost... BIG DIFFERENCE.... There is not one single scripture which suggest repentance is necessary for the Holy Ghost. It is a tradition based on a loose translation of repentance. Maybe I have to put in the terms so easy a caveman can understand it. Repentance is essential for salvation. Repentance is not essential to receive the Holy Ghost. Read carefully before spouting off what you think someone is trying to say. I have no desire to hijack the thread, but the misrepresentaton of what I said needed to be addressed.

Those of the so-called PCI camp view Acts 2:38 completely different than I, and traditional Apostolics, do. It matters because it seems there is an attempt to place less and less importance on the NECESSITY of water baptism and the Holy Ghost baptism. I mean, my goodness people, some of you have even went off the deep end and claimed repentance is not necessary to receive the Spirit of God!

The big dfference I see is that some of us believe obedience to Acts 2:38 is necessary for salvation. Others believe it is just a second blessing that would be terrific to receive if you ever get around to it. Those folks SAY they preach Acts 2:38, but I don't believe it.

The reason I don't believe it is because of the vitriol spewn on anyone who says this is THE way to respond to the gospel. If you loved the message, you wouldn't find ways to rip and tear it.

Let's not ..........-foot around the issue here. Some of you no longer believe it is necessary to be baptized in Jesus name, and receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Some don't even believe repentance is a requirement. This. my dear misguided friends, is the very definition of backslid. What is even worse is that you lead others into this heresy.

Now, go ahead and crucify me if you can't handle what I just said.
