v. 8 - I love Crispus; the chief ruler of the synagogue. Caiaphus crucified Jesus; he was a Jew too. and they both lived at the same time. amazing.....
From this chapter I've learned that if we walk with God and be in obedience He will be with us through any storm or trail in our life as He did with Paul,,Love His word.
Mamie - the term "pressed in the Spirit" is just another way of saying that God's conviction to do, or not to do, something, weighs heavy upon us. This has nothing to do with condemnation, but is conviction of the Spirit felt very strongly. Once I was reading the Word and God told me to do something. I wanted to finish reading the Word first, but had to go, and do, then He allowed me to finish.
God is good all the time. He is watching his own words every time he spake all words comes from the Father. Jesus is the perfect obedience to the Father therefore we must also believe his words and obey them. Without obeying his words we cant recieve any blessing, healing, peace and life in abundance. God is a promising God to us and he will lay down his life for us. We are saved by his Grace. Amn
We we believe the whole bible but take in consideration to whom it is speaking. Before the cross is O.T. doctrine Heb 9:17. The verse you quoted said covet to PROPHESY. So according to that verse one should ardently want to prophesy. The speaking in tongues was needed at Corinth because Corinth see Acts 18:1 had lots of Jews see verse 2 and there was a synagoge beside the place where they were meeting and Jews require a sign 1 Cor 1:22 and tongues are for a SIGN 1 Cor 14:22. Those are verses in their context. Mark 16 and Acts 2 has baptism associated with salvation because it is the Kingdom gospel being preached by a man names Simon Peter who didn 't even know of the body of Christ mystery. This was revealed to the Apostle Paul Eph 3:1-9. They said what must WE do in Acts 2. This is as a Nation because the KINGDOM is being offered to the JEWISH NATION see Acts 3:19, Rom 11:26-29, Heb 8:8-12, Jer 31:33-34, 33:8,50:20, Dan 9:24. No one is saved like Acts 2:38 again. Acts 16:31 shows how an individual is saved. What must I do to be SAVED? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and THOU SHALT BE SAVED.

Part 1 of 2: Hello Whatitsays: Now you stated that there are no women preachers in the Bible? However, There is Priscilla of the husband and wife team of Aquila and Priscilla, Acts 18: 26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly . If you read Romans Chapter 16 you will find devout women who labored in the Lord. Priscilla and Aquila had a church in their home. When you are truly saved in Christ Jesus, there is the following, Galatians 3: 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus .

Part 2 of 3: Both Apollos and these 12 men were baptized unto John s baptism. While Apollos was in Ephesus teaching all he knew Aquilla and Priscilla heard him speaking they took him aside and taught him the way of the Lord more perfectly, Acts 18: 24 thru 28. When he was disposed meaning when he was placed in order of the right way, he began to teach, Acts 18: 28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ. We can deduce that it was this time that Apollos was saved. In 1 Corinthians 3: 6 Paul confirmed this by saying I have planted, Apollos watered but God gave the increase . If I can say it like this, Paul laid the foundation, Apollos was the teacher or preacher who continued to water what Paul laid down, and God added to the church such as should be added.
whom GOD kept is well kept and whom HE love is well loved. GOD said in his Holy Bible, I will never leave you nor forsake you, but will be with you to the end of the world. All we have to do is trust in Him and believe upon His words, AMEN.
Acts 18 9 10 is a verse the holy spirit gave to me when I was going through a terrible separation. The Lord called me and told me that he would use all that I was to go through for the glory of Jesus! Since that time 12 to 20 family members have come to know Jesus through my faithfulness to God. Jesus also healed me totally of cancer. My life have been spared through many terrible car accidents. I 've been to Australia and have witnessed a little boy totally healed of breathing problems!I am remarried now after raising three adult children. And at 40 years old the Lord Jesus gave me another baby after my tubes were tied for 14 years. God is awesome and faithful to his promises. He promised to be with me and that I would not he have many people in every city of this world. I am never alone! Jesus Christ is the only answer for the world!

What we from this chapter is that God will always speak when we are in his will, and also he will protect us from the evil ones,for he says "I have called you by your name you are mine,when you pass through sea I will be with you,when you pass through the rivers it will not overflow you and when you pass the fire it will not burn you even the heat will not scouch you for I am with you,He says "I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.Isaiah.43 1 3
In this chapter we see see that when the Jews rose against Paul...it was not because he had changed his message...the same he had been preaching for a year and half. At time even when right, you will be fought but its not a reason enough to leave the good you are doing because of opposition. vs 18 shows that after opposition, Paul tarried even longer and only left when it was time to do so. On verse 21 22 Paul is asked to stay but he does not stay...you don 't stay because man has persuaded you, neither do you leave because man has persecuted you...you only either stay or leave when God instructs!
Paul, you are the vessel that I will use to manifest the mystery of the Church to the gentiles, the devil will try to cause you to fear, resist him and speak what I will put in you.Your security is my concern. That is the nature of our GOD loving and catering.
When the Lord says to speak and hold not our peace then we are to speak that which He has commanded open and will be Blessed when the Lord says to not speak then we are not to speak Keep mouth shut and will be Blessed.
A key and important thing is to know when to speak and when not to speak. Here God was telling Paul to speak forth boldly while at other times we were commissioned to hold our peace and let the Lord fight the battle. I conclude by saying that only God can help you in knowing when to speak and when not to speak.
Paul was one of the most high in Jew status. He knew the law. When got saved he realized the law could not save him. He realized salvation was in JESUS GHRIST.
This is what amazes me, at a moment of questioning myself. Whether God has shown me a Vision or given me scripture. He answers is so spontaneous that there is absolutely no doubt at all. I found Faith is a risk but it pays the best devidence. In Jesus Name Amen.
Greetings everyone in the Name of Jesus Christ! In Matthew 28:19 our Lord gave the command to the disciples to go baptize in the Name (of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost). To find out how this commandment was carried out, we must search the book of Acts. On the day of Pentcost, Acts 2:37 Baptism was in the Name Of JESUS. This was preached by the Apostle Peter. Acts 8:12-17 the Church at Samaria was established and they were baptised in the Name of Jesus by Philip, another of Christ's diciples. The Church at Caesarea, Acts 10:44-48, baptism was also preformed by Peter in the Name of the Lord, which is Jesus. The Church of Philippi, Acts l6:14,15,also verses 25-34; as also the Church of the Ephesians were baptized by Paul in the Name of Jesus. Acts 18:1-11, Acts 19:1-7Romans 6:3, Acts 22:16 are also examples. Even those that were baptized by John the Baptist, after they received instruction by Apostle Paul were RE-baptized in the Name of Jesus. Now I ask you to answer this question-- Did the Apostles and Disciples of Jesus defy His command to be baptized IN THE NAME of the father,son,and Holy Ghost or were they carrying out His instructions knowing there is only ONE NAME given under heaven whereby ye must be saved? Allow Jesus to take the blinder off your mind and receive this wonderful truth: Jesus is the Name of God (father,son, Holy Ghost) He is the Word made flesh. No more than you can separate your word from who you are, Neither can the ONE GOD separate Himself into three separate Gods. It is One God in three offices---Father, Son, Holy Ghost...OH PRAISE THAT SAVING NAME WHICH REVEALED BY THE ANGEL !!! Read Isaiah 9:6--The prophecy of His Name. GOD CAME WRAPPED IN A NAME IN BETHLEHEM. May the Lord reveal His Truth to you.

He has done plenty of things for us
I just love him so much
