  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

BECAUSE all. of Israel. did not know all about Acts 1:5 and most of those who love water BAPTISM. just love WATER BAP[TISM. even if the word WATER //. HYDOR is NOT in. that verse ??
Philip would absolutely have known about Acts 1:5. He was hand picked as one of the seven deacons along with Stephen who became the first Christian martyr. Philip was being directly led by the Holy Spirit, yet you claim he must have been ignorant.
And have one for you. in. Mark 16:16 says He that BELIEVETH and is BAPTIZED (. NO WATER // HYDOR ). shall be Saved

BUT he that BELIEVETH not shall DAMNNETH. !!

WHAT. sy you ??
I already responded to that earlier.

But quoting other parts of Acts doesn't answer Prodromos's question about Philip and the Ethiopian in Acts 8. It reminds me of how you replied to my question about Paul baptising Crispus, Gaius and the household of Stephanas. You talked of Gaius being a travelling companion of Paul, and didn't mention his baptism.
AND this will. be the third time that I have answered and how are you missing me and here we begin again !!

And in. Acts 19:29 GAIUS a nd Aristarchus and Macedonians. fellow travelers of Paul. and IT seems that there two

believe what Paul believes !!

And in. ACTS 18:8. were believing. and were being BAPTIZED. BY HOLY SPIRIT by. Acts 1:5 !!

But what does the fact that Gaius and Aristarchus were fellow travellers of Paul have to do with how Paul baptised Crispus, Gaius and the household of Stephanas?

(1Co 1:14-16 NKJV) I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name. Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other.

It cannot be baptism of the Holy Spirit, because only God can do that.

Of course this doesn't apply to you, only the people who disagree with Pope Dan.

Two things strike me. First, Acts 19:6 is about Christians at Ephesus, not Gaius (who came from Derbe), Crispus (from Corinth) or the household of Stephanas (also from Corinth). Second, the laying on of hands did not impart the Holy Spirit, like some sort of magical procedure. Laying on of hands is nowhere called the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Also, they were baptised first, and then Paul laid hands on them, after which they received the Holy Spirit. So clearly their baptism was not a "baptism of the Holy Spirit", since they did not receive the Holy Spirit until after, and the only other baptism described in Scripture involves water.

So tell me Dan. Are you saying that one Christian can baptise another Christian with the baptism of the Holy Spirit?
