What are your thoughts on post #1073?

I think there are occasions when baptism and "speaking in tongues" isn't a likelihood before death.

I think you underestimate God's mercy and power that He would extend to a repentant soul.

NO....Even if it is a sprinkle then pray over it.

Here is the other thing, one must be a clean vessel for the infilling of the Holy Ghost, or as we say "have your heart right". This is done through "true" repentance. God wants everyone to be saved so that none may perish. All that being said. If someone "truly" repents why would they not recieve the Holy Ghost as evidence of speaking in tongues.

To me salvation is at the infilling (ducking). Anyone can say they have repented, but only God knows the heart, and if the heart of repentance is true and pure then the infilling WILL follow. Seek and ye shall find. It is our promise from Him. If the God Almighty fills one with His spirit then whether or not that one is saved is no longer a question. Baptized or not. Yet one should at least be sprinkled in prayer and faith,,,at least.

Ok people, let the next hundred pages begin.
