HOW WAS PAUL SAVED IN ACTS 9:6 !!

Hi to all and here is the third reason Paul was the PATTERN of salvation for TODAY !!

Acts 9:6 And trembling and terrified , he said , LORD , what do you wish me to do ? And the LORD said to him , Rise and go into the city and it will be told you what is necessary for you to do !!

And Jesus was called LORD , SIR , MASTER , SON OF God and is Paul calling Jesus LORD different this TIME ??

Read 1 Cor 12:3 Therefore , I make known to you that NO ONE SPEAKING by God's Spirit says Jesus ( is ) Accursed , and No One is ABLE to SAY LORD JESUS except by ( the ) HOLY SPIRIT !!

This then , means Paul was speaking by the Holy Spirit !!

This also means Paul has the HOLY Spirit because Paul was saved at that point in Time !!

Thr first 3 verbs , KNOWN , SPEAKING and ABLE are all in the PRESENT TENSE and that means what happened then is CONTINUOUS ACTION forever and Paul is always SAVED !!

The fourth verb is the Greek word SAY and is in the AORIST TENSE and points back to the time that Paul called Jesus LORD !!

So Paul was then BAPTIZO / PLACED into teh Body of Christ , 1 Cor 12:13 , which is his second baptism !!

His third BAPTISM happens in Acts 9:17 when Ananias says to Paul " and might be FULL OF HOLY SPIRIT !!

Please notice that Ananias did NOT say be full of ( the ) Holy Spirit , BECAUSE the Greek ARTICLE ( THE ) is not in the Greek text and that means since the word ( the ) is not USED Paul receives the POWER OF HOLY SPIRIT and that means Paul RECEIVED the Holy Spirit 3 DIFFERENT WAYS so count them before you get UPSET !!
