born of water

Here is what some folks are doing at these altars when they see someone get the Holy Ghost these days...

They tell the unbaptized individual.."you're saved now, you have the Spirit inside"!

All the while, the Lord says..."he that believeth AND is baptized shall be saved"!

I guess the Lord will just have to get over it and accept the fact that we have a difference of opinion with Him!!!

What business scripturally do we have praying for people to receive the Spirit who have not been baptized? e

Actually, we dont....

We only OBSERVE the Spirit falling on them as we lead them to the water baptismal process.

We must preach the message that was originally intended for us to preach....

38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.(look at the underlined comparison of Luke and Acts)

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
