Once again , he includes only the first half if this verse ....this subtle little move is no better than a Lie...shame on you.


Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

The 2nd half disqualifies the non-believer. .However, should he/she come to believe, THEN is baptized shall be saved.

Why are you an Old Testament skipper??? Why did you skip the other gospels, almost all of Acts, all the epistles, and Revelation? You are clearly a most-of-the Bible skipper!!!



He is also a ”Gospel “ Skipper.....He’ll regret that When God asks him about it on Judgement Day....

I loved your scripture! I was addressing this portion of your post...

"This neglects our walk with God if we ignore or discount the HS baptism more than water baptism ever could. To neglect this baptism puts in peril the journey, for it regulates his [ HS ] functions to N/ A or not needed!"

The scripture I used walked though the importance of both. To get the Spirit, we need to go through the water as part of the born from above process.

Acts 2:38 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.

Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

Keep up the good work.




Lol, silly me.
I believe we should be water baptised but it is a symbolic ritual to other BELIEVERS for statement of our crucified, buried and resurrected self !

However the baptism of the Holy Ghost is imperative in our walk for the functions set in order of the body of Christ, which provides helps, discernment, teachings, preaching, evangelism ECT.

He is SUPREME to keeping us on a strait and narrow path that we might please God !

John 8:31-32, "Then Jesus said to those Judeans who had believed him, “If you continue to follow my teaching, you are really my disciples and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

You are clearly deceived. You believe the addition to Mark's gospel that is not part of the original. I am not skipping Mark, I am simply ignoring what is not an actual part of his gospel.

Your "skipper" nonsense is getting really tiresome! You are the one who isn't accepting what the Bible says in context. You are clearly deceived!

Get a better Bible!!!
You are ignoring the great commission of Mark, AKA, Mark skipper.

You believe those goofy "scholars" that want to do away with baptism for the remission of sins, as they "debunk" the juicy pary of Mark(16:16).

You will probably believe them if they say Acts 2:38 was forged too.

Anything that can be done to do away with baptism...

No, I teach the order of the Bible to sinners.

You teach them to roll the dice to find some random verse to "save" them anywhere in the Bible.

Acts skippers are contextual nincompoops.

Well at least YOU ARE not easily offended !

Seriously ,you have gotten off tract since your visit to the cross in '79, when I birthed my daughter.

I do pray you forgive my rudeness and I will pray for your RECOVERY !
I agree, truth can seem rude at times.

I worked with a group of 4 Acts skipper biological brothers in the 90's that I mercilessly spanked every day about Acts 2:38.

They said they were defeated, discouraged and I was the devil, but kept coming for more daily.

After nearly a year, they all got baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and nearly half their congregation followed them and their soon to be saved families into a Jesus name baptizing church.

Also, the Catholics sent a spokesman and said they all wanted to kill me.

Nobody tried it, but all saw it my way eventually.

Some win them by love and some by fear.

Why doesn't Acts 2:38 mention water, as in each one of you be baptized in water?

Baptism is immersion. Baptized in the name of Jesus Christ means immersed in His name. It cannot mean immersed in water or Peter would have said "Repent, and each one of you be baptized in water".

They were baptized in Jesus' name for forgiveness of their sins, which can only be done by God. By being forgiven in the name of Jesus Christ they received the Holy Spirit. Water baptism never gave people the Holy Spirit. (And never will.)

John 14:26, "But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and will cause you to remember everything I said to you."

I hate to "burst your bubble" about this verse, truther. You clearly obsess about it, but God's word says what it says.
You think it says this?...

38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you BY THE HOLY GHOST for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Luke was illiterate?

Some of the dumbest theologians that ever lived came up with the Acts skipper doctrine.


Dumber “ STILL” would be “ Paul’s Gospel Skippers “ They will be fumbling for words when God uses their Response to that Gospel Plus NOTHING to determine whether they go to Heaven or Hell....Your “ Wet Hair” will not really impress God that much.....
Dumbest is the fella that invented the "doctrinal evolution theory" to pit Paul against the others to eventually accuse Paul to "do away" with water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, though Paul commanded REbaptism in the name of Jesus Christ himself.

They all call themselves theologians...LOL

And Paul was trying to Save Souls...he had a choice....Did he choose to Save Souls by Baptism? Nope...He writes that he “ was not sent to Baptize” .....that would be a strange position to take if he is trying to save people and THAT is the Way to get the job done ......What Route “ DID” he take.....He preached what he referred to as “ HIS” Gospel ( the One Given to Him by Jesus Personally) ....Paul said that he preached Nothing But “ Christ Crucified”.....not even a “ mention” of water baptism.....much less, the “ performance” of it......
LOL...

3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.

4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

In all truth, I am no ones judge.
You DO as God directs you and I will do the same !
May all who love him in his truth meet on the banks of glory in a promised place of
splendor !
May we each stand naked before a loving,just God.,covered only in his Son's righteousness.

If you mean baptism in water,then I must disagree but may the salvation of God be revealed in ALL the halls and annuals of all who know not God,nor what they seek.

The light grows dim on the TRUTH of God as this DAY DRAWS TO A CLOSE.
MAY HIS MERCY AND LOVE SUPERCEDE ANY OF. OUR DESIRES TO HAVE HIS LIGHT REVEALED..............

Yes, the method is not what is important—- what is “ IMPORTANT” is that the Hair gets wet!

“It is by Grace that we are Saved, lest any man should boast”—— unless, of course, he us boasting about the wetness Of His hair.....

According to your “ Wet Hair” Gospel, It must have been “ Dumb” God that pitted Paul against Peter during their contentious debate at Antioch....Peter was wrong about several things and he “ stood Condemned” as Paul boldly called him out before the crowd of Believers...If you had the sense and the humility to go beyond Acts2:8 you would see that Peter Lost out every time he argued with Paul, whether the debate was about Peter being a hypocrite and refusing to continue eating with Saved Gentiles when the Jewish Religionists came around, or if the debate centered or “ getting your hair wet” being the ONLY way to get the Holy Spirit.....in the end, both men came together and agreed that Paul was correct and “ BELIEF” in his Gospel ALONE was enough to enable one to be Blessed with the Indwelling Holy Spirit....

Of course the TRUE “ Acts Skippers” never See this....They get stuck and Acts2:38 and just * SKIP” the rest of the Book....That’s about as “ DUMB” as trying to preach the Book Of Revelation and thinking you are an expert teacher of that Book when you read the first two Chapters and quit! Aw, who really cares as long as their hair is wet...We all know that “The Righteous , by WET HAIR shall Live”

PLEASE. What is the Acts Skippers ?



With apologies to the “ You just might be a Redneck” comedian, Jeff Foxworthy , If you don’t make Water Baptism the ONLY way for a man to get Saved—- you just “ might” be an “Acts Skipper”......Essentially , you take a beautiful Rite that God has created for His Saved Children — *AFTER* they become Saved , as a public testimony to the world, and you Unbelievably turn it into an Idol....You make Acts2:38 the “ end all and be all” of the Word Of God and completely ignore Paul’s Gospel Of Grace, Found In 1Cor15, that is God’s actual Plan Of Salvation in this Present “Age Of Grace”....It is becoming better known as “ The Wet Hair Gospel Of Truther “ .....
