Stephen Chandler of Union Church has boldly stood in front of the flock and dared to twist the truth about Acts 2:38. In his recent video on YouVersion, he had the audacity to claim that Acts 2:38 wasn’t about salvation, like in Acts 16. Can you believe that? Maybe he doesn’t want his church to understand the truth about salvation?

Stephen Chandler: Foundation of our Faith

Let’s not be fooled by the subtle whispers of falsehood. Acts 2:38 is a pivotal verse in the Christian faith, serving as a foundational belief for many believers. This verse, spoken by the Apostle Peter on the Feast of Shavout (Day of Pentecost), outlines the recipe to salvation and serves as a foundational belief for believers.

Acts 2:38: Repent, Be Baptized, & filled With the Ruach Hakodesh

By repenting, being baptized, and receiving the Ruach Hakodesh (Holy Spirit), one enters into a new life in the Messiah Yeshua (Christ).  This post will delve into the significance of Acts 2:38 as the bedrock of our faith, examining its importance and relevance in shaping the beliefs and practices of Christians worldwide.

“Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”

Acts 2:38 KJV

Satan’s Ministers

The enemy is cunning, indeed, my friends, and his ministers are weaving their deceptions into every corner. We must not let this stand unchallenged! It is our duty as warriors of truth to shine the light of God’s Word on these dark deceptions. We must be vigilant; we must be discerning.

Let’s draw our swords of truth, rooted in the living and powerful Word of God. Acts 2:38 is not to be diluted or distorted. It is a powerful call to repentance and new life in Christ. Let us not allow the teachings of deceit to blur the lines between truth and falsehood.

Spiritual Warfare

As we navigate these turbulent times, let us be unyielding in our pursuit of truth and righteousness. Together, we will confront the spiritual darkness in the pulpits, unmasking the subtle deceptions that threaten to lead the faithful astray.

Our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of wickedness in high places. These high places are in government and church government in “high” positions. (Ephesians 6:12)

Conclusion

May the Spirit of truth guide us in discernment, and may we hold fast to the pure and uncompromised message of salvation through Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Let the clarion call of truth resound in our hearts and echo through the corridors of deception. Amen! 🙏
