BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF CHRIST

[faithhopecharity]

Many CANNOT be baptized. To deny them salvation is Satanic!

if something is truly not possible how can it be a requirement?

but you want to jump on that and make it into a standard that the requirement though is readily available is NOT NECESSARY!

that's wrong!

peter commanded to be baptized

Yeah, in the Name of Jesus!

the command alone is in the name of Jesus!

Alone?

the baptism is in obedience to our savior mt 28:19

thks

Why don't you quote it? Let me help.

Matthew 28:19
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the NAME (SINGULAR) of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

And that NAME is Jesus as Peter absolutely confirmed!
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins;

You ain't baptized right!

Thanks again for admitting that water baptism is not necessary for Salvation!

I really don't see where in the bible we are told that a person who has believed on the Lord Jesus Christ will burn in hell because their baptism was deficient. Besides, the command of Jesus was not to baptize in His name, but in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit:

(Mat 28:19) Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Granted, Peter says in Acts 2:38, "in the name of Jesus Christ," but as commentator John Gill wrote on that verse: "in the name of Jesus Christ; not to the exclusion of the Father, and of the Spirit, in whose name also this ordinance is to be administered, Mat_28:19 but the name of Jesus Christ is particularly mentioned, because of these Jews, who had before rejected and denied him as the Messiah; but now, upon their repentance and faith, they are to be baptized in his name, by his authority, according to his command; professing their faith in him, devoting themselves to him, and calling on his name."

I find it worth noting that Jesus said:

(Mar 16:16) He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

He didn't say, "He who is not baptized will be condemned," or "He who is baptized in the wrong way will be condemned."

the command to be baptized is in the name of Jesus, the baptism itself is in obedience to Christ in mt 28:19

Amen?

Amen?

Are Christians baptized in Jesus' Name saved?

Because Scripture is God's inspired word:

(2Ti 3:16) All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
(2Ti 3:17) that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

It has the authority of God Himself. If somebody adds something to what the Bible says, whether it is having to use running water for baptism, or extra details about the childhood of Jesus, or anything else, it has no such authority, and will probably disagree with what somebody else says.

When Paul preached to the Bereans, they checked in the Bible (they would only have had the Old Testament back then) to see whether what Paul preached was true:

(Act 17:10) Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
(Act 17:11) These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.

why did Christ establish a church and command it to quote "teach all men" mt 28:19

James is not using the term "justified" in James 2:24 to mean "accounted as righteous" but is shown to be righteous. James is discussing the evidence of faith (says-claims to have faith but has no works/I will show you my faith by my works - James 2:14-18) and not the initial act of being accounted as righteous with God. (Romans 4:2-3) Not to be confused with faith that trusts in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. (Romans 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9) Romans 5:1 - Therefore, having been justified by faith, (apart from additions or modifications, hence, faith alone) we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Thayer's Greek Lexicon:

dikaioō

1) to render righteous or such he ought to be

2) to show, exhibit, evince, one to be righteous, such as he is and wishes himself to be considered - fits the context.

3) to declare, pronounce, one to be just, righteous, or such as he ought to be

Strongs's #1344: dikaioo - Greek/Hebrew Definitions - Bible Tools

The Bible clearly states in many passages of scripture that we are saved through belief/faith "apart from additions or modifications." (Luke 7:50; 8:12; John 1:12; 3:15,16,18,36; 6:40,47; 11:25,26; Acts 10:43; 11:17; 13:39; 15:9; 16:31; 26:18; Romans 1:16; 3:24-28; 4:5; 5:1; 10:4; 1 Corinthians 1:21; Galatians 2:16; 3:6-9, 26; Ephesians 2:8; Philippians 3:9; 2 Timothy 3:15; Hebrews 10:39; 1 John 5:13 etc..).

Now you don't need to add the word "alone" next to "belief/faith" in each of these passages of scripture in order to figure out that the words, "belief/faith" stand alone in connection with receiving eternal life/salvation. Hence, FAITH ALONE. Do these many passages of scripture say belief/faith "plus something else?" Plus, baptism? Plus, works? NO. So, then it's faith (rightly understood) in Jesus Christ alone for salvation.

*Not to be confused with an empty profession of faith/dead faith that remains "alone" - barren of works (James 2:14-24) which is not genuine faith but a bare profession of faith.

you right James 2:24 not the initial grace of justification but a continuation or perseverance in justification by faith and works!

Amem?
