See Simon the Sorcerer.

Here we go with the name calling again.

I loathe the "three-stepper" moniker.

Comparing water and spirit proponents to Simon the sorcerer is quite a stretch.

The stretch is yours friend ... I was responding to PO's question if it is possible to go through the 3 steps w/o faith.

Um ... don't know where you came to your conclusion.

Three step is something made up by folks who won't obey the Word...

Repentance...Baptism....and Holy Ghost...

How hard is that??

That's what i'm saying,Jesus said these signs shall follow,not just tongues or not just any one sign.Everyone has different signs.

Yes on the day of pentecost they seen the tongues and heard the Holy Ghost.Paul said each person has different gifts.

2: And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3: And there appeared (they seen)unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them

Mark 16:15: And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16: He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17: And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18: They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover

Notice your own words the Cross is visited before verse 38.

That is my only message.... Bub!

Sorry, but finding those verses in the book of Acts is comparable to the Gospel's in the midst of the rest of the bible. No easter egg hunt required.

Remember RevRandy said the book of Act's not just Acts 2:38. Acts 2:38 is along the journey to salvation.

The bub comment was because it seemed like you were arguing with what RevRandy posted, but you were arguing about something that wasn't even posted and then what you posted implied that the Gospel wasn't in the book of Acts when in fact it is.

All this nonsense of trying to say that traditional apostolics bypass the gospel and are only concerned with people being wet and "acting" like they're drunk in the Holy Ghost is deserving of the El Toro award. We preach, convert and accept baptism, and the gift of the Holy Ghost as a result of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

When I was baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost I fully understood why I needed and was accepting of it. I was mostly convinced of it because of the book of Act's where it told me what I had to do because I was pricked in my heart. I'm sure most others were the same. Of course we heard the Gospel and that is why we did what is commanded of us.
