Do You believe in God?

Did you accept on faith, rather than theological mumble-jumbo that God the Father raised God the Son from the dead using the power of the Holy Spirit? I did!

Did I understand the Trinity Triangle? Nope, I had no idea. But I believed Jesus was sent by the Father. When I was water baptized, I thought I understood the meaning of "in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost." (Yes it was that long ago.)
You seem to believe your salvation experience is a template by which everyone else must follow

I knew a man, good guy nice Christian, that believed you must weep when you are saved because he did. Repentance requires weeping.

He refused to believe folks were saved if they didn’t weep at salvation

Peace to you

Now Jesus cried out and said, “The one who believes in Me, does not believe only in Me, but also in Him who sent Me.

This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us.

But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, to us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,


In summary, the Holy Spirit's power was used to raise Jesus from the dead. And we must believe in the One who raised Jesus from the dead. Those that claim we do not need to believe in the Father who sent Jesus, or the Holy Spirit who raised Jesus have something to learn about the gospel.
Not seeing any verse that specifically states it was a person called the Holy Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead.

God the Father seems to be implied as the person who raised Jesus from the dead.

Romans 8:11 (NIV): And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.

Romans 10:9 (NIV): If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Jesus states that He will raise Himself from the dead.

John 2:19,21

Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

But he spake of the temple of his body.

KJV John 12:44, Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
