In Acts 8, Simon the Sorcerer believed in Jesus Christ. However, he was not saved. Simon desired the Baptism of the Holy Spirit so that he could perform signs and wonders. This was evidence that he was indeed not saved. The example of Simon the Sorcerer continues to occur today. Many believe in Jesus Christ because of signs and wonders. Salvation only comes with God’s gift of saving faith to His chosen people. Please click on the link below to view a You Tube video on this topic.
