Discuss Acts 10 Page 10

In Matt.16:18-19 Jesus gave Peter the keys to heaven so whosoever follow the instructions that was given to Peter will be in the will of God.

John 3:27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. John 5:47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? 2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

responds to Norm; I thought I was clear, no need to hammer me with scripture. Paul was not one of the original apostles, only a student of. His epistles are a treasury of scripture, not disputing their merits. My problem was with in Book of acts, and Peter's words in particular, having received the gift of the Holy spirit, does it not read as if he was elevating himself and reducing the LORD?

" Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Colossians 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist."

Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

open question; I'm looking for an answer to this contradiction;
John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
is Peter reducing the LORD Jesus to mere man, equal to himself?

This is when the Holy Spirit speaks we should listen and act on it as directed by the Holy Spirit. This vision that both Cornelius and Peter had came from God, 1st Peter was directed to kill, clean and consumed things that was unclean and not usually eaten by the Jews. But in his trance God let him know all things given by God is not common. T

Please give us the Scripture where we are commanded to ask God to fill us with the holy spirit the evidence of which is speaking in tongues. Tongues are for a sign 1 Cor 1:22. The Jews REQUIRE a sign 1 14:22. Every time tongues or languages were spoken Acts 2,10,19 Jews were present. They didn't believe the Gentiles could be saved. Acts 10:45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. Peter was preaching the gospel of the Kingdom in Acts 2 to Jews see verse 2,14,22,36. They were waiting for Jesus to come back Acts 3:19-21! The kingdom was turned down with the stoning of Stephen. Notice Jesus was standing in verse 55. They rejected the Holy Ghost and Jesus saved Paul and told him to go to the Gentiles and revealed to him the mysteries that Peter wasn't aware of in Chapter 2. They get straight by chapter 15. Our church age doctrine is the Pauline epistles. We are saved by grace through faith without works Romans 4:5, Eph 2:8-9. Also if water baptism is a command, which it is, are unborn children obeying commands or is it a born again believer obeying a command to be water baptized?

Notice they received the Holy Spirit before water baptism in verse 44. Romans 8:26 is not speaking of speaking in tongues because it says " but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which CANNOT BE UTTERED. The Church Age saint does not have to keep himself saved because God does that Eph 1:13, 4:30, 1 Corinthians 1:8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. If baptism is a "Command, " how are unsaved children obeying a command? An unborn child can 't obey the Fathers commands until he has been born. John 3:5 flesh is water birth. We say, her water broke. Mark 16:16 is still the gospel of the kingdom not the gospel of the grace of God. Can you drink poison and handle snakes? Acts 2:38 is to Jews see verse 5,14,22,etc. They say what must WE do? Not what must I do to be saved? Acts 16:31. Acts 22:16 says calling on the name of the Lord. Matthew 28:19 says nothing about water baptism saving anyone. The apostle never got baptized according to Acts 2:38 and all are in heaven now. It was a Jewish faith Rom 1:16 that involved signs 1Cor 1:22, 14:22. Acts transitions from Jew to Gentile, from Law to Grace. Your gospel for today is 1 Cor 15:1-4. Trust the shed blood of Jesus Christ and go to heaven. Water only gets you wet in this dispensation.

Acts 10 demonstrates the acceptance of gentiles into the kingdom of God. The Holy Spirit fell upon the gentiles signifying to Peter that acceptance, but that ability to speak in tongues is different than receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2: 38. It is for everyone to help us in our daily lives as evidenced in Romans 8. If not for the Holy Spirit offering up prayers to God in our behalf to help keep us in the saved state. That is why baptism is so important because it is there where we receive the gift predicated upon the fact we acquiesce to God 's command as stated in John 3: 5, Mark 16: 16, Acts 2: 38, Acts 22: 16 and Matthew 28: 19, 20. Faith only doesn 't work, because faith has to be accompanied by following commands by Jesus. Finally, Romans 6 clearly shows why baptism is demanded because it is there we receive the regeneration by water burial in a token death, burial and resurrection satisfying God 's plan for salvation. Anything short of that is merely cut and paste salvation.

Peter have doubt but when Jesus revealed his message he trusted God. In life we shouldnt doubt Jesus as our Lord the bible and his church are for us to believe. Thanks to Jesus for providing us his favor in any of our situations he knows what to provide and when to provide. God is awesome and loving Father. Amen

In Acts chapter 2:38 Peter was addressing Jews on the day of Pentecost, when they asked what must they do verse 37, He Peter said unto them, repent, and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. That was the requirement of the early church. Now, turn to Acts 10:44 While Peter yet spake these words the Holy Ghost fell on them which heard words. In Acts 2:38 the Jews had to repent, be baptized everyone of them in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of their sins in order to receive the Holy Spirit. But, Acts 10:44 they The Gentles received the Holy Spirit without being baptized. They early believers who were Jews still under the old Mosaic covenant at that time. Which was a different dispensation, were required to be water baptized to be saved. But, under the new dispensation according to the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 1 4 all that is required for salvation, "both Jews and Gentles is truly believing in the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, plus nothing. Then we will be baptized with the Holy Spirit. Look Acts 16: 30-31 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said Paul and Silas Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. He did not saw they should repent and be baptize. No. all they said was believe!

This is in responce to Kays misinformation about the word "worship " inregard to Heb 1:6. I will explain useing terms from the scriptures and not unscriptual terms like "God made in the flesh ", or "trinity ",or "God the son " or even "Mother of God ". I will start with the defining of the word "worship ". Proskyneo translated from greek is worship. At Acts 10:25 Cornilius worshiped Peter. Was Peter God? At Rev 22:8 John worshiped an angel. Was that angel God? Same thing at Rev 19:10. Was that angel God? At Mathew 14:33 Jesus 's own disiples worshiped him but they said he was Gods son. The act of worship can have many forms. Bowing down, bending at the knee, kissing the cheek, kissig the ground. But when using a form of the word worship the spelling may be differant. So, getting back to Hebrews 1:6. Did the angels worship the son because he was God? What did one of the angels say to Mary when he told her that she was going to have a child? Did the angel say the child would be God? No. That angel knew the child would be the son of the MOST HIGH. Also remember that at Heb.1:6 those angels were angels of God, and showing respect to their God they worshied the son. As in Rev.19:10 and Rev.22:9 the angels knew who to worship.

Insight 's blind sight Matt 15:14 is contrary to Scripture in light of Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. He is the Lord at birth. That would qualify Him of having the Holy Ghost 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

I wondered why the Spirit fell before baptism in this case. I like the thought that Peter needed to see it to confirm that these had been recieved into the fold of Christ. It seems that Jesus had the fullness of the Spirit before baptism, otherwise how could he compete in discussions with the temple leaders at age 12. Some things He did, He did for examples for us, like baptism. The Spirit decended upon Him to signify the start to His public ministry. We get bptised to rid ourselves of the old nature Rom 6 '6 but Jesus didnt have yhe old nature.

through this chapter, I got puzzled when reading verses, 3 to 7 verse 28 and verse 30, specially verse 28 where Peter said . . . "God had showed me . . . I wonder whether it was just a vision of an angel or God Himself that Peter saw! in other words, I 'd like to ask, "Has man ever seen God? "

Verses 37 38, John received the Holy Ghost in the womb before birth. Jesus did not have the Holy Ghost until after John baptized him! To fulfill his purpose, Jesus needed to be baptized he insisted upon it.

The new birth is essential in order to enter the kingdom of God according to John 3:3-5 . Both water and Spirit are necessary. Some people claim that Cornelius and his household were saved or born again once they received the Holy Ghost. The truth of the matter is they didn 't have the complete new birth without the water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus allowed Cornelius and his household to receive the Holy Ghost even before they were baptized in order to assure Peter that God had accepted the Gentiles to become members of the church of Jesus Christ. Peter understood that he could not withstand God because the Lord had allowed the Gentiles to receive the Holy Ghost. Now Peter knew that Cornelius and his household had to submit to being baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ. They could not forbid water and be born again. The Lord had already assured Peter through a vision that God had accepted the Gentiles. When the Gentiles received the Holy Ghost this was double assurance that both Jews and Gentiles would be part of the church. Notice the words of Peter. "Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ what was I, that I could withstand God? " Ats 11:17 .

When Peter quotes Joel in verse 21 neither he nor Joel, at this point, knew the things involved in a Blood atonement for sinners, applied to the soul by a spiritual circumcision Col 2:11-12 . Paul wasn 't saved yet so the mystery wasn 't revealed yet see Eph chapter 3. Repentance and remission of sins Luke 24:47 is known to them but only in the context of John 's baptism cf. Mk 1:4, Acts 2:38. When Peter is in Cornelius ' hime, he is quite startled to learn that REMISSION OF SINS can be obtained by belief alone see Acts 10:45. This shows that a thing can be there without being known, and that the time of revelation of truth has little to do with the ORIGIN of truth. Acts 2:38 contradicts church age doctrine revealed to the apostle Paul EPH 3 . You are saved today by putting your faith and trust in the shed blood of Jesus Christ. The gospel or good news of the Church Age is in 1 Cor 15:1-4 with no water baptism mentioned.

Acts 2 is the birth of the church. Peter stood up with the eleven other Apostles, including the new one. Matthew was present when Peter stood up to preach just as he was in Mathew 28:18-20 which says the eleven was the ones being spoken to. Note: Eleven Mathew did not pull Peter 's Coat tail and demand Peter to cease this Jesus Name Water Baptism. 1 Mattew was pined some 20 years after the events of Acts 2. 2 Acts 2:38 was preached as written for more than 40 years in the Act 's history of the church. 3 Acts 10:44-48, Acts 19:1-7 Paul clearly preaches the same message of Jesus Christ. Repentance, Water baptism in Jesus Name, Baptism of Spirit. Water Baptism was deluted with doctrines of Rome and of men in the 2nd and 3rd century. All records bible and history state that the Apostles agreed on the method and mode of Water baptism in the Name of Jesus up until about the 2nd and 3rd century. It is clear that this was and still is the True Good News of the Founding True fathers of The Early Church!

Acts 2:1-6 is a preparation for the last days, and the things that will follow are found throughout the O.T. in many passages. The Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord are the subject matter of nearly two thirds of the O.T. Peter did not say THESE THINGS are the fulfillment of what Joel said, and that is whe he would have had to say if he were referring to the cloven tongues, the rushing wind, and the spoken languages as the fulfillment of Joel 2. As a matter of fact, the other tongues are a fulfillment of Isa 28:11-12 not Joel. Israel, here, is being given a second chance to get right after Christ 's prayer in Luke 23:34 . We are dealing with a renewed offer of the Kingdom and it is valid until the final rejection in Acts 7. All those things of Joel were postponed until the Church Age is over. The Spirit hasn 't yet been poured out on all flesh and those signs in the Sun and Moon are yet to take place. You are preaching another gospel in Acts 2 for today.

Acts 10:10, acts 11:5, acts 22:18 Peter fell into a TRANCE and had spiritual vision. Numbers 4:4 16 Balaam falling in a TRANCE even with his eyes open, seeing the Almighty. Psalms 46:10 Be still and know that I am God means your mind by meditation,stopping the carnal thought until you enter into a TRANCE . The Webster definition for TRANCE is a narrow passage, a narrow pathway A NARROW GATE I hope this helps all of you. It 's God 's way or no way at all.

Trance meaning a deep sleep, God put Peter in the trance and told him to not doubt and go with these men that was sent from Cornelius.

Ephesians 4:9 Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? Ephesians 4:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.

Jacob the thief died on the cross before the death of Jesus meaning that the Holy Ghost was not yet given until Jesus died and was ascended back to heaven. John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself that where I am, there ye may be also. John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you but if I depart, I will send him unto you. John14:26 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.

Jacob the thief died on the cross before the death of Jesus meaning that the Holy Ghost was not yet given until Jesus died and was ascended back to heaven remember in John 14:26, 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. 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me.

i need the references for act 10:10, an detail meaning of "he fell into a trance 'acts ' 10:10

Heb 9:17 shows the New Testament started at the death of the Lord Jesus. That means that the thief died in the new testament without water baptism and without works. See John 19:33 to see Christ died first for no one dies in His presence. Now, Acts 2:38 will save no one today. It is the gospel of the Kingdom that John the Baptist was preaching. The mystery of the Church that was revealed to Paul was not known yet. Those in Acts 19 were not even saved. They hadn 't even heard of the Holy Ghost. They had the baptism of repentance. Remember remission of sins is not the same as redemption. Acts is a transitional book from the law to grace. Acts 2:38 will not get you saved today. Eph 2:38 will not match this chapter which is for the Jews. John 3 doesn 't mention the word baptism and the water birth is the FLESH birth and the Spirit birth is being born AGAIN. Baptism doesn 't always mean water and water doesn 't always mean water see Matt 20:23 for example.

We need to see the verse where it SAYS, Jesus Christ is the name of the Father. The name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are the Lord. Here are the verses to back that up. You know the Father is called LORD in the O.T. In the N.T. Jesus is called Lord Phil 2:11. The Holy Ghost is called Lord in 2 Cor 3:17. Gentiles are baptized in the name of the Lord in Acts 10:48. You have the baptism of John the Baptist in Acts 2:38 and that is not the gospel by which we are saved today. Acts is a transitional book and has several different ways by which people received the Holy Spirit. In the Church age you receive the Holy Spirit by faith alone Eph 2:8-9.

hebrews 9chap 16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. After Jesus death, john 3:3 is enforced. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. acts2:38..water and spirit... acts 19:5..john 's disciples, were re-baptised, in Jesus ' name and then received the holy ghost... acts 8:6 ...ethiopian received ..water and spirit.... acts 10:48 ...italian received ..water and spirit...and spoke in tongues. while the bridegroom was with them....mark2:10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins. hince, situations like the thief on the cross. but , Mark 2:20 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them. John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
