Ignore Acts. Ignore written church history from the early centuries. Just hold on real tight to "all I have to do is accept the Lord and I'm saved forever".

You got it, Nighthawk.

You should hear the excuses, that I have received on another Forum, where most are Baptist.

1. The book of Acts is just History.
2. The Holy Ghost was just for the Jews.
3. The Holy Ghost, as in Acts was just for the Early Church.
4. The Holy Ghost as in Acts are not relevant, today. (Insinuating that we are too modern for it.)
5. All didn’t speak in tongues, using 1 Cor 12, as their scripture, not knowing that Paul was talking about the gifts of the Spirit, after the Spirit is received.
6. Tongues is just for immature, emotional people.
7. Tongues is of the Devil.

Me thinks, they do protest too much.

1. The book of Acts is just History.
YES, ACTS IS A NARRATIVE.

2. The Holy Ghost was just for the Jews.
I DOUBT THE VERACITY OF THIS STATEMENT. I NEVER MET A CHRISTIAN THAT. DIDN'T BELIEVE IN THE NECESSITY OF THE HOLT GHOST.

5. All didn’t speak in tongues, using 1 Cor 12, as their scripture, not knowing that Paul was talking about the gifts of the Spirit, after the Spirit is received.
YOU MAKE A DISTINCTION WHERE THE BIBLE DOES NOT, THEN CLAIM SOME SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE THAT OTHERS DO NOT HAVE.

6. Tongues is just for immature, emotional people.
NO, BUT MANY WHO S.I.N. ARE IMMATURE IN THEIR FAITH. I WILL NOT EVEN START ON THE EMOTIONALISM.
