What do you call person being baptized?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Baptism is a symbolic gesture in which the person 'dies' or is submerged under water, and is then 're-born' as a new person in Christ. Before a person is baptized a spiritual quest usually takes place. It should not be taken lightly but real soul searching should proceed the baptisim. It is rendered useless unless the person truly has a spiritual change of heart. This includes an entirely differernt life-style that includes adherence to God's laws and commandments.

Achievement and Success: Diamonds are precious gemstones often associated with luxury, success, and achievement. A diamond crown necklace may represent accomplishments, milestones, or personal victories.

How many disciples were in upper room when they first received the Holy Spirit?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Happening at an hour of prayer, corresponding to 9 am, the initial outpouring of holy spirit took place in the temple area.

Acts 2:6,14,15 "...the multitude came together and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. But Peter, standing up... said ...these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day..."

Because it was the third hour of the day, the apostles were in an hour of prayer. For this activity, they had transitioned from their living quarters (the upper room) to their usual prayer location (the temple).

Luke 24:53 "And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen."

Peter's sermon continued as Acts 2 records, resulting in about three thousand new believers joining the church.

Acts 2:41 "Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls."

What did Peter address when he preached Acts 2 37-39?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The people were confused when they began to hear the apostles speak in different languages, they conclude that the apostles were drunk. but Apostle Peter had to step up and correct them reminding them of the prophecy from Joel how God will pour out his spirit upon all flesh and how every one both young and old, either male or female will manifest one particular gift of the spirit or the other.

Apostle Peter is therefore letting them know that they too can manifest such gifts of the spirit by first repenting from their sin and being baptize. search for peteradinoyi youtube channel to learn more about other prophecy in God's word that can positively transform your life.

What did the Sadducees wear?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Interestingly in Luke 16:19 Jesus gives us a startling clue saying the rich man was dressed in purple and fine linen,when we know for a fact that this is how the Sadducees dressed. This is the Priestly Garments as in Exodus 28:8

Its skillfully woven waistband is to be like it--of one piece with the ephod and made with gold, and with blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and with finely twisted linen. Exodus 28:8

New International Version (©1984)

so, this is the first clue in this puzzle that this rich man was a Sadducee. This was not a descriptive title as in the Good Samaritan Parable.

Biblical meaning of judgment of man?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I Corinthians 4:3 “But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.”

When translated word-for-word, the word “judgment” is the word “day.” From God's viewpoint, the age of Grace in which we live is very brief. Today, man passes judgment and sentences; he directs the policy. Man does sit in judgment, but only for a brief period.

Jesus is the Messiah. This is no question?

User Avatar

Asked by Lilah Oni

If the Bible is right, then there is no question that Jesus is the Messiah.

Acts 4:10,12 "Be it known unto you all... that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth... whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."

A great Bible scholar said, "Don't you put a question mark where God put a period."

Where is Jesus' cross located now?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The cross has probably disintegrated by now or it was used for numerous purposes at the time. Once crosses were removed and taken down, they were used for firewood, for building, etc.

As the centuries rolled on and mounds of different civilisations were built on mounds, the cross has disappeared. This is a good thing really, as the cross should not be venerated in any one. It was an instrument of torture for the many who hung on it.

Occasionally we hear that that the cross of Jesus, or a piece of the cross has been found and is a closely guarded relic. However, Jesus could only die on one cross and the number of "crosses" now owned by "collectors" is all out of proportion.

Caiaphas, according to the New Testament, was a Jewish High Priest, so he must have been from the subsection of Levites called Cohens (the descendants of Aaron, Moses's brother). Since Aaron was himself a Levite, all Cohens are Levites.

Why did God not just ban ananias and sapphira from the church?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In devising and implementing their lie, Ananias and Sephira had separated themselves from fellowship with God and the believers.

Acts 5:3 "But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?"

Peter's question to Ananias gave him a clear path back to fellowship. Had Ananias been courageous enough to face the truth, the result would have been joyous healing.

I John 1:7,9 "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

God did not bring about Ananias and Sephira's death. The Devil, who holds the power of death, had orchestrated this ensnarement. God's desire was for them to believe to live and have further opportunity to cast off the works of darkness.

James 1:13-15 "Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death."

How many days have there been since the birth of jesus?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

2010 years.

Answer:

This is a wide open question with a number of possible answers. If it is cut off and incomplete, like:

"How many years has it been since Jesus..." was born?

or

"How many years has it been since Jesus..." ascended into heaven?

Give or take a few years... both of these can be answered the same: "More than two-thousand years ago."

Prophetically speaking: "...beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." (II Peter 3:8)

That would make it a little over "two days ago."

If the question is asking, "How many years has it been since Jesus.." recreated the earth?

"Since Jesus recreated the earth from Genesis 1:3, it's been somewhere between five and six thousand years."

If it's truly asking, "How many years has it been since Jesus?"

He is "Eternal"... "JHVH"... "I AM"... "He Exists"... "WAS, IS, SHALL BE": and within that frame of reference, which is inconceivable to the finite human mind... time ceases to exist.

How many times did Jesus visit Jerusalem during his ministry?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The answer depends on which gospel account you are reading.

In Matthew, there is only ONE (1) mention of Jesus entering Jerusalem: chapter 21 (triumphal entry).

In Mark, there is only ONE (1) mention of Jesus entering Jerusalem: chapter 11 (triumphal entry).

In Luke, there are FOUR (4) mentions of Jesus entering Jerusalem: Luke 2:22 (presentation at temple, Jesus is approx. 41 days old); 2:41ff. (feast at Passover, Jesus is 12 years old); 4:9 (temptation by Satan); chapter 19 (triumphal entry).

In John, there are FOUR (4) mentions of Jesus entering Jerusalem: John 2:13 (Passover, cleanses temple); 5:1 (feast of the Jews, healing at the pool); 7:14-10:39f. (Feast of Booths-Feast of Dedication); 12:12ff. (triumphal entry).

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John each mention Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. There are, therefore, SEVEN (7) unique mentions of Jesus going to/entering Jerusalem in the Bible.
