  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hi to all and in Acts 1:5 it reads , For John indeed BAPTIZED ( WITH ) WATER , but you will be BAPTIZED with Holy Spirit not many of these DAYS AFTER !!

First all should see that the Greek ( THE ) called the ARTICLE is not in the Greek text , check and see , and that is why I left it out !!

The Greek article will always POINT to a specific thing and here it points to the POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT !!

Also notice that the Greek word BAPTIZED / BAPTIZO is in the Greek AORIST TENSE and that means John's BAPTISMA is complete and gone and the INDICATIVE MOOD says that is a FACT !!

The Greeks words SHALL BE BAPTIZED / BAPTIZO is in the Greek FUTURE TENSE , WHY ??

It is in the FUTURE TENSE because Israel is to be set aside as recorded min 2 Cor 3:13-16 , Isa 6 and in Luke 13:6-9 !!

The FUTURE TENSE is used because this is the NEAR VIEW !!

Then Christ raises up a new apostle , with a new message called the Revelation of the MYSTERY , Rom 16:25 and 26 and also in Col 1:25 and 26 !!

Then when Rom 11:25 is FULFILLED the FAR VIEW will be in place , Rom 11:26 and than will bri Jacob's Trouble !!
