Acts 1:14 KJV
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
Acts 2:16 KJV
16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy , and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams :
18 And * on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy :

Yes.
MADists only presume that they have been baptized by/in the Spirit when they believed what Paul said.
No wonder they teach the church of Acts ch 2 is not the Church which Paul was a member of.
but he was, and every Christian is.

Nope, Paul could not get into that church, and neither can you.
For you, like Paul, have blasphemed the Holy Ghost in your lifetime.

No, the truth injures you. That's all.
You deny Christ and the gospel of the grace of God.

The church did not start during the Reformation; it started in the Book of Acts.

Was there a church in the wilderness? Before Acts.

So are you.
Psalms 116:11 (KJV)
But I am forgiven, because I believe 1 Cor 15:1-4 (KJV) and trust the LORD.
You can too.
You say you trust in the Lord but in actuality you do not.
You trust in yourself and in your MAD doctrine which denies the Gospel of Christ through Peter which Paul explained.
Act 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
Act 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Act 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
Act 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
Act 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
Act 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
Act 2:43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
Act 2:44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
Act 2:45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
Act 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
Act 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
You have no membership in the Church begun by Christ.

And that, not midway through.
You don't see something new and different from Christ for Paul starting in Acts 9 ?

If you mean him being the first example of just how long suffering the Lord is towards even the worst sinner, then shore.
Why did you leave out those first verses of Paul's prior behavior?
Context friend.
It means nothing more nothing less.
2 Peter 3:15 KJV
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
1 Timothy 1:13 KJV
13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy , because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
1 Timothy 1:16 KJV
16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy , that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
ALL longsuffering.
We be talkin' 'bout the CHIEF sinner here, bro.
Not a time dispensation.

Because everybody knows what Paul was and did before meeting Christ and receiving ongoing revelations the rest of his life, including this current dispensation -

Yes, Saul was a type of the beast who was wearing out the saints.
Yet he was saved by grace. There is even hope for LA the blasphemer.

Historically, the Early Church from the First Century on practiced Baptism and the Communion Supper. Most all of the Early Church Fathers commented on it. It became quite important to explain the Eucharist since the pagans had spread the word they were literally eating flesh. There is abundant historical evidence for this in their writings. If Paul had done away with Baptism why did the Gentile Christians continue to practice it?
