We know we are saved because God said it and we have faith to believe it. Faith takes God's Word as true and relies upon it. If you came to Christ, that was saving faith. Now then He wants you to have faith in His Word for assurance.
John Rice
Trust wholly in Christ; rely altogether on His sufferings; beware of seeking to be justified in any other way than by His righteousness. Faith in our Lord Jesus Christ is sufficient for salvation. There must be atonement made for sin according to the righteousness of God.

John Wycliffe
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the foundation upon which sincere and meaningful repentance must be built. If we truly seek to put away sin, we must first look to Him who is the Author of our salvation.
Ezra Taft Benson
The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation.
I believe your application of the Greek word HOSEI used in Both Acts 2:3 and Matthew 3:16 is correct. There was a point early on in my walk with the Lord where I used to envision a pure white dove descending from heaven upon Jesus at His baptism. It seems so easy to miss some of those little catch phrases in our study of the word.
In Acts 2:3, it's interesting because they could see an appearance of these languages dividing up and it sat upon each one of them. What they actually saw I'm not sure, but I can't help but wonder why it would happen like this for them.
I also find it interesting that both fire and wind to a Jewish person represents the very Spirit and presence of God. We see the wind in Acts 2:2. As you're probably aware, the word wind and the word Spirit, both in Hebrew and in Greek is the same word.
I look back at John Chapter 3, where Jesus told Nicodemus that he needed to be born from above (experience a spiritual birth from heaven). And in John 3:8, Jesus says that it's like the wind, you don't know where it's coming from or where it's going to go afterwards.
It seems to me that He's interchanging wind with spirit, and the sound of the wind was to a Jewish person, the coming of the Holy Spirit. So, in Acts Chapter 2, here are Jewish people, in the upper room, they hear the sound of wind, and they have seen languages sitting upon each one of them (as of) fire sitting upon each one of them. Fascinating!
Prayer request for family healing forgiveness and clarity. We are having some very serious problems trying to raise our 3 grandkids. I'm also struggling medically right now. God knows.
I pray that I can witness freely without fear of what people think. Sowing seeds to save souls and that my husband, children and friends and family can be saved in Jesus' name
Q: Devil also believes that God is one and trembles. What makes the spirit of antichrist different?
A:St Paul defines the spirit of Christ which is of God. "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God."(1 Co.2:12). The spirit of the world runs under the law of sin. The devil may believe God is one but in following his own will he resists the Word. So are those who say they believe Jesus Christ came in flesh of God. But in denying the power thereof they quench the spirit that is freely given of God."And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world./Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." ( 1 John 4:3-4)
The Bible sets the fulness of God in Jesus Christ. By denying the covenant between God and his Son what do imposter churches teach? Blessings of God to Abraham as the basis renders the entire scripture out of focus. God blessed man who is created after our image and after our likeness. Ep.1:3-4. "That we may know" requires understanding which is the knowledge of the holy.
I'm just asking that our lord father God in heaven remove the hurt and pain in my heart for the person who rapped me that he may know I forgive him but I won't forget. May I have the strength to move on from my pain and wash my soul free of evil like him. Amen
Shalom fam! I have a question, in Luke 17 Jesus is teaching the disciples* about forgiveness. He later addresses the disciples as apostles. Why did they apostles say, "Lord increase our faith" after hearing that they should forgive 7x a day to a brother (or sister)?
(17) One day Jesus said to his disciples, "There will always be temptations to sin, but what sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting! 2 It would be better to be thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around your neck than to cause one of these little ones to fall into sin. 3 So watch yourselves!
"If another believer[a] sins, rebuke that person; then if there is repentance, forgive. 4 Even if that person wrongs you seven times a day and each time turns again and asks forgiveness, you must forgive."
5 The apostles said to the Lord, "Show us how to increase our faith."
Dear Gary, I will pray for God to clear up your vision either through the doctor's care or a miracle.

Prayer for protection from all attacks of the enemy coming against me and all of my family members that I pray for daily and often and all of my loved ones that I pray for daily and often I ask that the LORD will cover us with his HOLY Blood and give us protection from all fiery darts of the enemy and I ask that THE LORD will give me a breakthrough in employment soon and I ask that I have protection in the interview and I would know each word to say in the interview and that I will have great favor in the interview and that the door would be open for me and I would not have any issues getting the job. I ask that the LORD will have favor on me and Bless me to meet my future spouse as soon as possible and that I will be prepared to speak to her without being nervous or afraid of rejection and that I could date her without any issues thoughout the whole dating process and that we will have a Blessed marraige and that the LORD will have great favor over us and we can be a light for Him and we will have a Blessed life together. I ask all of these things in LORD JESUS CHRIST Name, amen. Thank you all for your prayers and I will continue praying for you all as much as possible. GOD BLESS you all and your families and mine as well, amen.
