Acts 2:38 has been abandoned by Christianity

[Jim B]

Acts 2:38 is a perverted water God?

Yikes.

38 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 shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

“ Already Saved? “ yeah, right....l

Paul devotes most of his writing that Proceeds Romans 10 to showing All people how they are Lost, Wretched Sinners,Without Excuse , trying to wake them up to the Fact that they are Sinners that need a Savior....Having used these previous Chapters to show unsaved people the “ PROBLEM” , he proceeds in Chapter 10 to give them the “ SOLUTION” —- “ confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and BELIEVE in your Heart that God raised Him from the Dead” or if that’s too complicated, just ASK God to Save you and He will—- “ Anybody that asks to be Saved WILL be Saved”..... Paul is clearly telling those that first needed to be shown that they were “Lost” Sinners The way to become “Forgiven” Sinners.....he ain’t patting anybody on the back “ for a job well- done” .....
And as usual, there is no mention of your precious , answer-to- everything “ Water Baptism” in this great Chapter regarding how to get Saved....

Paul never wrote a word to sinners, only to saints.

The Acts skipper pastors need to teach Acts skippers what an epistle to saved saints is.

Acts skippers hijack the saints' letters and give them to sinners with Acts 2:38 hidden behind their back in their tricky hand.

How sneaky and devious.

They are like the David Blain of Christendom.

I did not want to overwhelm you with sctiptures since you cannot even comprehend this...

38 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 shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

You are the one who can't understand Scripture. Your calling yourself "truther" is a delusion.

 

[Jim B]

Almost perfect, but not quite.

...we in the New Testament look back by faith in the crucified Messiah. Salvation is and always has been faith in Christ.

Add baptism to faith....

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved....

There is no need to add anything!!! Faith is all one needs.

Ephesians 2:8-9, " For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God; it is not from works [including baptism], so that no one can boast.' (my emphasis added)

 

[Truther]

Yet ANOTHER Ignorant “take” on Scripture.... it’s a common one so I’m happy to see that it is not NEARLY as uniquely crazy as your other Nonsense....

What exactly IS it that the devils believe? Read the Entire passage....They merely believe that is ONE GOD—- whoopee! God demands FAITH! It did not take any Faith to Believe what the demons saw with their own eyes!
Most ancient civilizations believed in Hundreds of God’s! Some people though that they were Hot Stuff because they realized that there was only One God....the verse is telling people that believing in just One God is better than believing in many gods, butvit ain’t no big deal—- even the devils believe it...

What the demons did “ NOT” Believe was that Jesus Died for their sins....and THAT Believing is what gets a man saved.....Had they turned to Jesus( repentance) with FAITH in Him, they “May” have had a chance, theoretically.......”Without Faith , it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God”..... they are excluded from having any Faith....it takes NO Faith to Believe in things that you have seen....and the demons have seen everything....they have Especially seen and thereby know that there is One God....big deal.

The devils believe in the son of God.

So do Acts skippers.

The devils tremble at Jesus name.

So do Acts skippers, (which tremble at the very thought of having Jesus' name invoked over them in baptism as per Acts 2:38).

The devils cannot believe and be baptized per Jesus' command in Mark 16:16.

Neither can Acts skippers.

They work as a team....

19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.


Yep

The book of Romans was written to sinners?

You really don't understand to whom Romans was written, why it was written, and what it says?

Get yourself a good modern translation and ask God to give you an understanding of His truth!!!

You have been led into serious error by your misinterpretation of your King James Bible!!!

I used to own records. When they were scratched, the needle would get caught in the groove and it would go into an endless repetition of the same notes over and over and over...

Just like your obsession with a single, out-of-context verse that you clearly do not understand!!!

Yep, saints.

Don't steal letters to saints and give them to sinners.

That is mail theft, punishable by this...

a) Why do you communicate in two languages? 17th Century Englyshe and modern English. Are you schizophrenic?
b) What are those numbers? Paul never wrote them in his letters. You are distorting Scripture even more!
