You have yet to answer my question...if my sins were not forgiven until I was baptized how did I receive the Holy Ghost prior to my baptism? How did my dear friend receive the Holy Ghost at the altar and attend church all week praising God and speaking in tongues before he was baptized in Jesus name?
You see...I have a question about a very real life changing experience...and you only have a theological argument and a dusty list of Trinitarian scholars. Please offer me an explaination, an answer to my experience that testifies to the contrary of your claim.

God had mercy on you and your friend that doesn't change the Book. That is why I am NOT a three-stepper so-called. In Acts the penitent twice recieved the HGB before they were baptized BUT they were immediately baptized. Anyone who refuses baptism in Jesus Name either did NOT recieve the genuine HGB or did not follow it. However sins in the NT dispensation are remitted ONLY in water baptism in Jesus Name for the penitent.
