Kevin,
I'm not suggesting, I'm telling you. Where in Scripture does it tell you Acts 10:44 manifestation of the Holy Spirit is Cloven Tongues of Fire? Your grasping for straws .
Nope but neither do you to support that so we are even in that regard.
That's what it says.
This is true, but the Apostles were doing "supernatural" things even before this, so what's your point?
In my opinion, if this was the case, I'm pretty sure Scripture would have mentioned it.
Yes, it seems to match. Still doesn't prove or provide any evidence of what your assuming.
This is where the problem is. Because of the flawed logic that you have saying:
You come up with highly flawed theology that says:
Where is the Scripture for this? You can't provide it because IT ISN'T THERE. Just step back a minute and really think this over. Please Pray about it. Then you say:
Agreed.
True again, but it's pretty funny you seem to be backing away from Cloven Tongues of Fire.
Agreed. Which leads me to this: from previous post, I said:
Yep, I stand by that statement.
Agreed for the most part. Only problem with that statement is you assume water is included now. It was then, but not now. In this DISPENSATION.
See above answer.
Next post deals with "State of Salvation." Man how Satan has duped people.
Are you suggesting that the falling of the HS in Acts 10:44 didn't appear as burning tongues?

Do you have any evidence to support this?

In Acts 2:3, when the HS fell upon the apostles, it was described as being as tongues of fire.
That's what it says.
It gave them the ability to do miraculous things.
This is true, but the Apostles were doing "supernatural" things even before this, so what's your point?
Why wouldn't it have happened in the same manner (burning tongues) to the Gentiles in Acts 10:44?
In my opinion, if this was the case, I'm pretty sure Scripture would have mentioned it.
As I pointed out earlier, in Numbers 11:25, the HS rested upon their heads, just like in Acts 2:3.
Yes, it seems to match. Still doesn't prove or provide any evidence of what your assuming.
If that's what it looks like in Acts 2:3, then what's to say it didn't happen when the same Spirit fell upon anybody?
This is where the problem is. Because of the flawed logic that you have saying:
I won't consider myself "saved" until Jesus judges me worthy of salvation at the judgement seat
You come up with highly flawed theology that says:
If spirit baptism saves us, then new converts would have the tongues of fire upon accpeting Christ.
Where is the Scripture for this? You can't provide it because IT ISN'T THERE. Just step back a minute and really think this over. Please Pray about it. Then you say:
The Spirit spoken of in Numbers 11:25 is the same Spirit spoken of in Acts 10:44.
Agreed.
In both cases, that same Spirit had the same effect upon the recipients - miraculous abilities.
True again, but it's pretty funny you seem to be backing away from Cloven Tongues of Fire.
If one is going to claim that the falling of the HS is what put those people in Acts 10:44 into Christ, then, to be consistent, one would have to hold the same thought for the people in Numbers, even though they were in a different dispensation; because it was the same Spirit with the same effect.
Agreed. Which leads me to this: from previous post, I said:
But all these men believed the message that God gave them and they were all saved on the basis of faith.
Again, you admitted that the baptism in the name of the Lord is what puts us into Christ.
Yep, I stand by that statement.
Well, the baptism in the name of the Lord, which is done with water, was done AFTER the HS fell upon the Gentiles in Acts 10:47-48.
Agreed for the most part. Only problem with that statement is you assume water is included now. It was then, but not now. In this DISPENSATION.
That is what puts us into Christ, not the falling of the HS, which is why Peter had them baptized in the name of the Lord after the HS fell on them.
