  • 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.

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

Please notice the Greek text does NOT read the Holy Spirit because the Greek ARTICLE " THE " is not in the Greek text , so check and see !!

The Greek article will always point to a SPECIFIC THING and when you see just HOLY SPIRIT by it mself as in Acts 1:5 it points to the POWER OF HOLY SPIRIT !!

This means there are 2 BAPTISMS here WATER and the POWER OF HOLY SPIRIT !!

In Acts 1:5 the Greek word BAPTIZED / BAPTIZO is in the AORIST TENSE and means that John's baptism has been com[plete and the INDICATIVE MOOD means it is a FACT !!

The last part of this verse SHALL BE BAPTIZED / BAPTIZO is in the Greek FUTURE TENSE , WHY ?

John's WATER BAPTISM is the NEAR VIEW and Israel will be set asie very soon as written in 2 Cor 3:13-16 , Isa 6 and in Luke 13:6-9 !!

Why the NEAR VIEW , because Christ will appoint a new apostle , named Paul as recorded in 1 Cor 9:17 , with a new message as also seen in Col 1:25 and 26 !!

Then when Rom 11:25 has been fulfilled , Israel will be saved and verse 26 will begin the time of Jacob's Trouble , is the FAR VIEW !!
