ARE YOU A MIXER BELIEVER (FAITH + WORKS) INDOCTRINATED BY THE "FALSE CHURCH" INTO BELIEVING "THE LIE" FOR YOUR SALVATION???THE ACTS 2 POSITION IS A DEADGIVE AWAY TO FALSE TEACHING!Does your church teach that the Christian church, the "body of Christ", Jews, and Gentiles together as one, started in Acts chapter 2?If they do, this is a dead giveaway that your church teaches the religion of Judeo Christianity, "law MIXED with grace".This is NOT taught in the Bible!Law, and grace DO NOT MIX!When you get the BEGINNING of the Church the "Body of Christ" WRONG, you're going to be wrong about just about everything else in the Bible.So much confusion exists in the Church today simply because sincere believers are following the traditions of men rather than the Word of God. Therefore, they have no explanation to those who believe in and practice signs, miracles, and gifts as recorded in the early part of the Book of Acts.Only as we realize that the experiences recorded during this period were exclusively for the nation of Israel (for the Jews require a sign I Cor. 1:22). Can we explain why the Church which is His body does not believe in or practice these same manifestations in this dispensation of the Grace of God?The chief speaker of Acts chapter 2 is the Apostle Peter, an apostle of Israel (Matthew 10:1-7; Matthew 19:28; Galatians 2:7-9). Peter was sent to minister to the "circumcision" (Gal.2:7) of the nation Israel (Matthew 10:5-7).Peter’s audience in Acts chapter 2 is Jews only, the nation Israel (Acts 2:5,14,22,29,36). On four occasions, Peter says that he is speaking to, “Ye men of Judaea” (verse 14), “ye men of Israel” (verse 22), “men and brethren” (verse 29), and “the whole House of Israel” (verse 36). The Holy Ghost is leading the Apostle Peter to speak (verse 4), and the Holy Ghost is well aware that He is speaking to the nation Israel.Acts chapter 2 is to Israel and about Israel only.The Church the "Body of Christ" is made up of neither Jew nor Gentile (Galatians 3:28; Galatians 6:15; Ephesians 2:11-18; Colossians 3:11); therefore, the "Body of Christ" is separate from the nation Israel and not related to Acts chapter 2. It is clear that we are still in Jewish-Gentile distinction of “time past” of Ephesians 2:11-12 here in Acts chapter 2. Some may argue that the term “all that are afar off” in Acts 2:39 refers to Gentiles, but they are incorrect because the context does not allow this definition. Actually, we find this term in Daniel 9:7 and it refers to scattered Jews around the world. It has no reference to Gentiles, either in Daniel 9:7 or Acts 2:39.Acts 2:1 says “when the day of Pentecost was fully come.” This is a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. The "Body of Christ" is separate from Israel’s prophetic program (see Romans 16:25-26). Also, Pentecost is one of the three major Jewish feasts (Leviticus 23:15-16). We members of the Church the "Body of Christ" are not bound by the laws and feast days of Judaism (Romans 6:14-15; Galatians 4:9-11; Colossians 2:16), so this further proves that the group of believers in Acts chapter 2 is not the Church the "Body of Christ".The Spirit of God would never lead a member of the Church the "Body of Christ" to be under the law (2 Corinthians 3:17; Galatians 5:18).According to what the Holy Ghost through Peter said in Acts 2:16-21, the events of Acts chapter 2 are fulfilled Old Testament prophecy:Acts 2:16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:Acts 2:18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:Acts 2:19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:Acts 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.The Prophet Joel (2:28-32) prophesied the supernatural events of Acts chapter 2 in relation to Israel’s restoration—we do not have these signs, miracles, and wonders in the "Body of Christ" during today's Dispensation of Grace. The strange astronomical phenomena recorded in Joel and Acts chapter 2 will be fulfilled after our dispensation (see Matthew 24:29-30; Mark 13:24-26; Luke 21:25-28; Revelation 6:12-14). Again, the "Body of Christ" has no relation to the Old Testament because "The Mystery” (During our Dispensation of Grace) was “kept secret since the world began” (Romans 16:25; Ephesians 3:5; Colossians 1:26).The risen, ascended, and glorified Lord Jesus Christ revealed our mystery dispensation FIRST and ONLY to the Apostle Paul (Romans 16:25-26; Ephesians 3:1-9; Colossians 1:25-29).We do NOT find ourselves outside of Paul’s epistles of Romans through Philemon!The Apostle Peter preached in Acts 2:38 when his audience asked how to be saved:“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and "ye" (Jews) shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”This is certainly a works-religion gospel under the "Apostles' Doctrine" (Acts 2:42), and it was valid in Israel’s program—it is problematic when people try to apply it to us because it does not belong in our dispensation. Jesus Christ had said in Mark 16:16 that faith and water baptism were necessary for salvation in Israel’s program. Peter is in perfect accordance with his commission. Israel will not receive forgiveness of sins until the Second Coming of Jesus Christ (Acts 3:19). Jews must repent (change their mind about who Jesus Christ really was) and be water baptized in order to receive forgiveness and the Holy Spirit. When the Philippian jailer asked Paul what he must do to be saved, Paul said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31). Unlike Peter’s ministry, in Paul’s ministry, there was no reference to water baptism or repentance. We receive the Holy Spirit by trusting the Gospel of the Grace of God—Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection as sufficient payment for our sins (1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 4:24-25)—and God the Father SEALS us with the "Holy Spirit of Promise" instantly (Ephesians 1:12-14), SEALED until the day of Redemption. Romans 4:1-8 makes it abundantly clear that no works save us.Acts chapter 2 does not apply to the "body of Christ" because its Gospel message under the "Apostles' Doctrine" (Acts 2:42) does not apply to the "body of Christ" — it is a "false gospel" (another gospel) for us and we should reject it as such (Galatians 1:6-12).“Then "they" (Jews) that gladly received his word (Peter's testimony) were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls”. And "they" (Jews) who continued stedfastly in the "Apostles' Doctrine", and fellowship, and in breaking bread (Acts 2:41-42).The Bible says that there was a pre-existing group of believers in Acts chapter 2. It is NOT a new "Body of Christ"; Acts chapter 2 was simply a continuation of the Messianic Church. There is nothing new in Acts chapter 2.Read Acts 2:43: “And FEAR came upon every soul: and many WONDERS and SIGNS were done by "the apostles" (the twelve). Is there “FEAR” in local churches today because of miraculous demonstrations? “The Jews require a sign” (1 Corinthians 1:22a). Mark 16:15-20 talks about how signs were to follow those that believe in Israel’s program, and Acts chapter 2 is a confirmation (see Hebrews 2:3-4).These miracles belong with Israel, and they do not apply to us. We have something better than miracles—we have the completed Word of God, the Holy Bible (1 Corinthians 13:8-13; 2 Timothy 3:16-17).Did you ever notice the communal living found in Acts 2:44-45? Who does this today, except maybe the cults?Acts 2:44-45 KJV44. And all that believed were together, and had all things common;45. And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.”These Jewish believers sold everything they had and gave the money they received to the twelve apostles for distribution to the poor (in perfect accordance with what Jesus said in Matthew 19:21-24 and Luke 12:31-34)!This was selfless, spontaneous living for the good of their fellow Jewish believers. Do you know of any Christian today who has sold all his or her possessions and given the money to a preacher or a local church? I seriously doubt it, so yet again, the Bible proves that Acts chapter 2 has nothing to do with the Church the "Body of Christ."As we stated earlier, the Spirit of God would never lead a member of the Church the "Body of Christ" to be under the law (2 Corinthians 3:17; Galatians 5:18). Yet, legalism abounds in Acts chapter 2—repentance and water baptism for salvation and forgiveness (verse 38) and obeying the "Apostles’ Doctrine" in the Temple (verse 42,46). Jesus said that Israel’s 12 apostles were to preach and teach the Law (Matthew 5:17-20). We have no relation to legalism because Paul says that we are under grace, not law (Romans 6:14-15).Despite what the denominationalists and religionists claim, the Church the "Body of Christ" did NOT begin in Acts chapter 2. To say that it did is to ignore all of the verses that we briefly outlined here.Acts chapter 2 is NOT our pattern; we must ignore the modern-day cries to “go back to Pentecost to get the Holy Ghost and the fire.” If we want to have God’s power and learn God’s message to us, we must go to Paul’s epistles of Romans through Philemon. We must leave Acts chapter 2 in Israel’s program where it belongs, or we will confuse everyone and ourselves, and make our Christian lives vain and miserable.The modern Christian church today loves to teach that the "body of Christ" began in Acts chapter 2 because they want to control you and keep you under the law.Paul is our Apostle.We get our special message and instructions from God in Paul's letters, Romans through Philemon.TO BE SAVED INSTANTLY: Without doing, saying, or praying anything, simply put your FAITH and TRUST 100% in God the Son, Jesus Christ, as YOUR Saviour, BELIEVING that Christ died for ALL your sins, that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day to justify YOU. (I Cor.15:1-4)If you have ever once BELIEVED this, then you are SEALED by God's Holy Spirit of Promise, saved from Hell, having forgiveness of all your sins, and eternal life in Heaven.Read it for yourself in a King James Bible.1Cor 15:1-4; Ro 5:8; Ro 8:1; Eph 1:13; Eph 2:8-9; Ro 4:24,25; Col 1:14; Tit 3:5; Ro 6:23; Tit 3:7; Eph 1:7; Col 2:13 KJV.People die and go to Hell every day having their sins PAID FOR but no one dies and goes to Hell having their sins FORGIVEN. Forgiveness is not granted until the gift of salvation has been accepted.Trust Jesus Christ today as YOUR Lord and Saviour!Do it now!Then tell someone you care about!This is the "Good News Gospel" that the risen and ascended Lord Jesus Christ personally gave to apostle Paul to Preach among the Gentiles for during the dispensation of the Grace of God". (Eph.3:2)Grace and Peace in Christ <3For those who have ears to hear, let them hear.All Glory be to God Almighty, in Christ Jesus. Amen and Amen.
