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 ....

I've heard one of our preachers say much of the same thing....He said the Baptists are better Christians than some of us, because we focus too much on ACTS 2:28 and don't preach/teach enough on Christian living.

Right.

Anything that heaps institutional guilt on Apostolic people and causes them to feel inferior is awesome.

I have not had an opportunity to read this but my answer is YES!

Acts 2:38 is MY God have ye NOT read?

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the WORD WAS GOD! Acts 2:38 is the WORD correct?
There are Three that bear record in Heaven the Father-WORD-the Holy Ghost and these three are ONE!!!!!!!! The WORD includes Acts 2:38 right?

Your hostility toward Peter's message the one Jesus gave the keys to is noted. Why do you hate the message so??????????????????


Like a child who hates his father and mother.

Isn't there a verse about cursing your father and mother???????????

You hate and despise Peter's inpired message but millions have heard it and loved it and it changed their lifes and it is still being preachers around the world.

Sir your little squirt gun you have pointed at the Sun will never put the light out!

This is such blasphemy! To suggest that Jesus is merely a collection of written words given by inspiration of the Holy Ghost is to deny that Jesus is the image of the invisible God, the express image of God's person, etc.

The "Word" in John 1:1 is not to be confused with the scriptures themselves. I would have expected you of all people to know that. You seem to be equating the Bible with God Himself - as if to say the Bible is God. I would hope that is not what you believe (even if God has magnified His word even above His name).
