Blue ; I have been pondering this lately.
With Phillip and the Ethiopian Phillip baptized him after showing him Christ in the Word.
He accepted the Lord and asked Phillip could he be baptized [paraphrase].
It wasn't implied as a commandment ,but a testimony of Faith.
This is in line with the definition of sacrament.
I want to dig a bit deeper.
According to scripture I want to know where it states we receive the Holy Ghost upon the moment of salvation.
Now most believe this,and for myself I believe we receive the Lord in our heart.
My thought is from 1st John :
1 John: 1. 2. (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us
3. That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. - Bible Offline
Verse 3 is clear yet it does not speak of the Holy Ghost.
we know their are 3 yet all three are one.
Look at this:John: 14. 20. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 21. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 25. These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. 26. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. - Bible Offline
John: 16. 13. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 23. And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 27. For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. - Bible Offline
