Sometimes silence can be an answer.



Anyway, Why don't we greet anyone with a holy kiss anymore if we gonna live by ever aspect of the bible.

We do not live by every aspect of the bible. We live by the spirit.


If people are out here saying "Prepare jesus is coming soon" you need to be doing everything that bible tells you, but we dont live by the bible we live by the spirit.

Acts 2:38 Does not explicitly state that baptism is necessary for salvation.

I think if that were the case,it being mandatory, Scripture that says faith alone saves would not be in God's word.
This is not salvation?...

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,..

Are we not Saved if we are not Baptized?

What did Jesus say? John 3:18 - He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who (is not water baptized? - NO) does not believe is condemned already, because he has not (been water baptized? - NO) because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

So, it's a lack of belief that causes condemnation and not the lack of baptism.

You’re not saved if you’re not baptized in Jesus name.

God says that if you give Him your faith in Jesus, then God will accept your faith, and give you the "Gift of Salvation".

After you have it.......and are now born again... as a "new Creation" "In Christ".....eternally forgiven, then you may be water baptized.
So, we see that the water baptism, is to be administered AFTER the person becomes a Christian.

This is why Paul said..... = "Christ send me NOT to water baptize"...... as He's showing us that water has no part in redemtion......no part in salvation .... at all.

You know the Bible teaches faith alone does not save a person. Faith is the qualification we need after we are baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission our sins. Romans chapter 10 explains this. We have to affirm our faith every day. If we don’t, we will backslide.

Faith does not save anyone.

Let me show you why not..

Because Faith didnt hang on The Cross for your sin.........so, it can't be the Savior.
Water Baptism didnt hang on The Cross for your sin.....so, it can't be the Savior.
Mary didnt hang on The Cross for your sin, so, she is eliminated as "co-author of Salvation" as the Mary cult teaches she is a 2nd "mediator".., as one of their many lies regarding Mary.
Also..Your Good works, and your commandment keeping, didnt Hang on the Cross for your sin.. so, stop trying to save yourself or keep yourself saved by your works.....Reader.

Faith coupled with baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and remaining in the faith confessing Jesus daily saves a person.

That's not true.
It most absolutely is. Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ is for the remission of sins. You can’t believe yourself into remission of sins. There’s only one way to get remission of sins.
… He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved…

Why was the jailer baptized immediately per chapter 16?
Were you baptized in Jesus name immediately after you believed? If not, why not?
Apostle Paul stated that he did not come baptize but to preach his gospel.

Everyone who heard that and believed were saved in that moment.
When Paul said he did not come to baptize,according to your ideology,all who accepted Christ after hearing his invitation into salvation are not saved.

Jesus said we are saved the moment we believe.

The gospel does not tell us, we believe after we are baptized.

If we were not in the faith,did not believe before baptism, we would not be baptized. Because, it is by faith that we then seek to be baptized.

If we are not baptized, it doesn't mean we are not saved. Jesus did not say that we are not saved unless we are baptized.

Baptism is the Mikvah in Judaism.

A new believer can ,if they so choose, to baptize themselves whenever they are ready,if ever.

When we believe,in that moment our sins are forgiven. Because they are put under the blood of Christ. And God,Jesus, will not ever remember them again or hold them against us.

You just skipped the book of Acts.

You are an Acts skipper.

You tell sinners to skip it too, and take them from the gospels directly to the epistles written to the Acts obeying saints to "qualify" them for salvation.

...thou art the one.

I'm an Acts skipper?
You must have ignored the Acts verse that supported my point.

We are saved the moment we believe.
Acts 16:31 states, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household."

You most certainly are an Acts skipper. You’re supposed to start in the beginning (chapters 1- 2) not chapter 16. You skip everything and ignore the command to be baptized in chapter 16. You’re the king of Acts skippers.

Repent, and be baptized...Do it in obedience to the Lord, and not as a way to identify with a denomination.
