The fact that many receive the Holy Ghost before baptism illustrates that the remission of sins may have taken place at repentance (the aorist direct imperative of Acts 2:38) prior to water baptism or they would not have been capable of receiving the Holy Ghost.
The fact that so many receive the Holy Ghost before water baptism testifies to the possibility that God had accepted their repentance and had forgiven their sins prior to water baptism. Why speak something other than what you've heard and seen God do in our midst with your own eyes? |
The bible declares that remission occurs at water baptism, not me. The putting off of the old man is accomplished when we are buried with Him in water baptism. So you are trying to convince the wrong person. Convince God that his word is in error, and that your "experience" is right.
I speak what I believe to be true according to the Word of God. There is no salvation outside of complete obedience to
Acts 2:38.
