Furthermore, I believe that the infilling of the Holy Ghost-- as an experience that only God can bless a person with-- is a Divine Promise that all believers should seek, wait for, and expect.

That's great. I think you are a closet PAJC.

That is a shame.

I don't think he's lost because of his skewed view of the Godhead though.

I don't know him, so I don't think he's lost.


It's just that the line I'm drawing in the sand is different from his.

We serve the same God, have the same Savior and will probably experience the same eternal deliverance from the curse that awaits all who don't know and aren't known by Jesus Christ.

I use my real name.

There's nothing closeted about my remarks.


Are you sure you don't mean PCI?

Naw, you're sounding like a PCI. I think you're a closeted PAJC.

Yes of course you serve the same God. On Christ, you both stand.


J D, you plan to continue seeing the girl? Do you see a difficulty in reconciling the beliefs the two of you have?

Sherri,

The problem I see with my bolded post is that baptism could be seen as a "work" by most sensible people.

The Gospel clearly states we are not saved by works, but by the Grace of God.


It's just that everytime anyone was ever converted in the Bible, baptism directly correlated with their conversion.

Even if I were to believe, teach and preach that a soul is saved at repentance and confession, there is still the clear Biblical mandate for water baptism.


How do you handle this?

Everyone needs to experience the Holy Ghost! They don't know what their missing until they've experienced God in that way!!!


But should someone not experience God in this way, I can't say they are lost simply because of that.

The Bible does not make that argument, so I won't.

Sherri,

I hope you come back.

I hope I did not offend you.
