Discuss Acts 16 Page 8

Verse 25~the first thing Peter did was turn to Jehovah God in prayer. When we are in distress we want to turn to God in prayer as well.

Verse 15~Lydia set an excellent example in willingly giving and opening her home for hospitality.

We learn in v.11 that Rahab believed in God and because of her belief, she and her household was promised salvation. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, and thy house", Acts 16:31

Jesus Christ died for all man has a free will john 3-16
forget this election sure not everyone will be saved
but we need to evangelize and spread the good
news of Jesus Christ to all the world.the Philippians
jailer was saved he came to Jesus as a lost sinner
acts 16-31

I believe with all my heart but my understanding is not so good 2018

The whosoever are the Elect, they are the only ones who appear in the Lamb's book of life, from eternity past. If Christ died for all, Judas would be saved, but Scripture says Judas was doomed. Only Christ knew that, because Judas was made a vessel of dishonour when formed by the Potter as stated about Esau whom God hated. Many who travel the broad road think they are saved. But not so. <><

Let me see if I can take a different approach....in verse 18, did Paul abused his authority? He was grieved mad about this woman following them. He cast the demon out because he was grieved, not because he wanted to bring God glory. God then put them in jail. Paul later asks verse 25 for forgiveness ...prayed and sang..praised God. God forgave and used their mistake to bring Glory!

I am 55 years old ...I have been saved for 4 years.4 of the best years of my life. Praise the lord.I will be with him one day.

In verse 10 we see how Paul was eager and willing to accept the assignment from God.

I believe.

Edna: It is a Feeling. Those who're Saved have Great Joy in Their Heart:if They are Studying,telling Others The Way of Salvation,having Fellowship. That's why Paul and Others were Singing in Prison. Acts 16:25. The Lord keeps The Joy in Our Heart: Jude 24. Deep Down In Our Heart. One who is NOT Saved will NOT have that Joy. Pastors say if you feel lost,no joy don't worry,that's Satan./That's False

God was the protector and guide of Paul and Silas. He saw them through the thick and thin of their missionary journeys. The Holy Spirit was in hand to tell them where to go and not to go. Wherever they went, coverts were won. Even when jailed, God came to the rescue. It is the same God today and we must look up to him for daily guidance. In turn, we should spread the gospel to lost souls.

Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. We must follow his comments for to grow in Grace not for Salvation. We are seal by the Holy Spirit of God in Salvation, we cannot loose it. Praise God

V24 proves physical cutting means nothing. Jesus does not cut flesh and does not teach it.
Paul however continues to circumcise to establish the adherence to Jewish law as the example of the Jewish woman that had a son with a Greek man. Paul does not follow the example of behavior that Jesus established. Paul is a Jew first, Christian second. Acts 16:3

Amen LadyA

Amen. Obey and receive. If you believe on Him you will follow His commandments. You cannot just believe and be saved. The Apostles They who said this vers Knew that those who truly believe on Jesus's name will repent and follow the righteous way to The Father which Jesus taught. Read The book of Matthew chapter 5 for the information in what Jesus said and taught. I love you all. May The Good Lord bless you this day and forever as your walk in Him continues. Amen.-Tahj

Amen to Acts 16;30-31 also please pay attention to everything Jesus and his Apostles taught on believing EX: Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved v17 signs that follow believers speaking with new tongues as mentioned in Acts 2:4 they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and spake in other tongues that were new to them. Believers should receive the Holy Ghost John 7:39

AMEN, LadyA!!!!! I too believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!!!!!!!

I BELIEVE, I BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!

In verses 6 through 10 Paul was urged to go to Macedonia. Paul followed the direction he received from God's holy spirit.

In Acts 2 the Kingdom is still being offered to the Jews see Lk23:24, Acts 2:14,22, 36. The question asked is what must WE do, not what must I do as in Acts 16:31. This was before the mysteries were revealed to Paul see Rom 16:25. They blasphemed the Holy Ghost in Acts 7 and God went to the Gentiles. We get Gentile baptism Matt 28:19, Acts 10:48 because Jews are not the nations Num 23:9.

Acts 16:32 - "And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house." By this, you can see Paul and Silas didn't just say, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."

Acts 2:37, " ..... men and brethren, what must we do?" v. 38; Acts 16 30 - " ..... Sirs, what must I do to be saved"? v. 33 - "..... and was baptized, he and all his, straightway." Paul and Silas told him to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. To 'believe' is more than just 'mental' assent. Read Jas.1:22,23, 17,18, 20-22, 24-26. To believe is simply faith; to have faith is to believe.

To Graham on 12 3 13 - What a beautiful testimony!! I love seeing the TRUTH on here. It's true - people take from God's Word just what they want - and that in itself nullifies God's word to others nobody's getting the whole truth.

To Gary, Acts16:31 ..... 8 11 13 - this is a scripture that goes with Gary's testimony 1Thess. 5:22 VERY GOOD testimony, Gary.

My friends you cannot earn your way to Heaven by obeying or abiding in the will of God. We are sinners and we need a savior. Jesus died and rose again to give us eternal life and he promises that all who ask him for salvation will be saved.
Acts 16:30 "And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved,"

I love reading act 16vs25 and practice it

SO FAR, I AM VERY IMPRESSED, AS ALWAYS WHEN I READ THE BOOK OF ACTS, WHICH I TITLE THE ACTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN, BY, WITH, AND THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT. I BELIEVE, THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IN ME IS, GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHICH IS GOD AND JESUS, AND LIMITED IN ME BY FAITH. FROM THE 1ST CHAPTER THROUGH THE 16TH CHAPTER THERE IS ONE THOUGHT I RECEIVED, JESUS IS, FOREVER.

I love the book of acts so fare just the study of the book is a blessing

T BSP on v. 15 - Lydia loved God, even before Paul
