How to be saved (born again) and join the family of God!!!

Truther said:

Do you teach unrepentance as a requirement for baptism or repentance?

Which did Peter teach?...

37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

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.

Repentance is a MUST, but one must understand what it means.....it means to “ change your mind” ....the Jews had just crucified Jesus as a Blasphemer , claiming to be the Son Of God when he was Not, according to their Spiritual Blindness....They had to change their minds ( Repent) as to Who He was.... No different than anybody that ever lived and desired to get Saved....” Who do you say that I am?” Your answer to that question determines your Eternal Fate.....

Anybody that “changes their mind” about the Truth Of The Gospel.....Anyone That has Turned ( Repented ) from disbelief in it to belief in it has done all the “ Repenting” that they ever need do as far as Salvation is concerned.....

If I am a Jew, listening to Peter preach, I will do whatever he says to do.....

If I am a Gentile , I have been told to “ follow Paul” ..... he is the one that I go to for Doctrine .....Paul says the Way to get Saved is to Believe that Jesus died for your Sins and rose from the grave......Repentance is built-in to the Gospel if you went from Unbelief in it to Belief in it.....
Baptism is a type of “ picture show” .....it is outward show that depicts what has occurred on the inside of a Saved person....it does not MAKE you a Believer in Jesus, which is the thing that Saves you—- it is a sign that you ARE a Believer in Jesus ......one should do it as an act of obedience—-not as the means to get Saved....Trusting the Gospel does that.... the Instant That you Believe it.....

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

John 3:5 "Jesus answered, Except a man be born of born or water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."

Romans 6:4 "Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."


THE GREAT COMMISSION GIVEN:

"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:"

THE GREAT COMMISSION IN ACTION:

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."

So, per Acts 2:38, Peter said something else but really meant "change your mind for the remission of sins"?

Christ Christ is truth itself and cannot teach error Jn 14:6

BloodBought 1953 said:

All that hold to catholic doctrines are “ Fallen from Grace” because they Completely ignore the warnings throughout the Book Of Galatians about ADDING to the Gospel Of Pure Grace......the seven Sacraments are part of a “ False, Perverted” , so-called Gospel —- refer to Galatians chapter 5 for proof of this.....90% Of Protestant Churches are just as guilty....
Pray that “ Fallen From Grace” does not equate to Damnation, lest Hell be fuller than anybody ever dreamed.....remember that Jesus DID say the Gate is very narrow and few find it....don’t wait until it is too late to discover that the song had it right all along—-NOTHING But The Blood....

the new covenant is sacrificial, and sacramental

God breathed life into Adam, gen 2:7 and we received this life from our fathers!

Christ breathed on the apostles our spiritual fathers, we receive the new covenant life of God’s grace from them thru faith & baptism! Jn 20:21-23 Mk 16:16 acts 8:36-38

Born again! Born from above!

'The Father has set his seal' on Christ (John 6:27) and also seals us in him (cf. 2 Corinthians 1:22; Ephesians 1:23, 4:30). Because this seal indicates the indelible effect of the anointing with the Holy Spirit in the sacrament of Baptism,

Baptism indeed is the seal of eternal life." 87 The faithful Christian who I has "kept the seal" until the end, remaining faithful to the demands of his Baptism, will be able to depart this life "marked with the sign of faith," 88 with his baptismal faith, in expectation of the blessed vision of God - the consummation of faith - and in the hope of resurrection.

St. Paul tells the faithful at Ephesus that they have been “sealed with the promised Holy Spirit.” This is in terms of an indelible character imprinted on the soul in the sacraments of baptism and confirmation. It is not as if this invisible mark is simply decorative. Rather, through it, we are enabled to participate in Christ’s mission and in his offices of priest, prophet, and king. Eph 1:13

Sealed by God eph 1:13 sealed by God (ez 36:25-27) in the ark of salvation by baptism just as Noah was sealed by God in the ark of the flood gen 7:16

1 Pet 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us!
(Ark of Noah a type of the church, member of Christ and his church and salvation by baptism!)
(Outside the ark of Noah none were saved, outside the church (the ark of salvation) none are saved!)

Sealed in the ark, sealed in the church the ark of salvation by baptism!

Right, now tell me what the name of the son is....

it is Jesus
But valid Christian baptism is still in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit!

My children were baptized when they repented. Peter told baptismal candidates to repent and be baptized.

Are crying newborns, really repenting?

what personal
sin do infants have that requires repentance

If you admit the name of the son is Jesus, then why don't you say the name of Jesus when you baptize like this?...

'I baptize you in the name of the Father, and the name of Jesus Christ, and of the Holy Ghost"?

Why do you say the title of Jesus(mimicking his words) and not the actual name Jesus commanded you to say?

Are you a parrot?

Did you know he commanded his disciples to obey and say the name of the son specifically, which they did throughout Acts?

Why CAN"T you say his name?

None.

This is why babies are not baptized.

Only repented persons are qualified to be baptized.

Do you preach the gospel to every baby(creature) before you baptize them?

why?

Does your church follow the commands of the Pharisees?......

Acts 4:18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus (Son).

Romans: Chapter 10 verse 9-10-13
GOD SAYS=
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be Saved. For with the heart man
believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession
is made unto Salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the
name of the Lord shall be Saved.

To become a child of God, you must choose to receive Jesus, (John 1:12),by asking Him into your heart (Revelation 3:20), where He then dwells (Ephesians 3:17and Colossians 1:27), plus you must choose to repent and ask Him to forgive your sins so they are forgiven (Acts 3:19 and Acts 20:21), and call upon His name to be saved Romans 10:13.


Prayer for salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe you died for my sins and rose again - please come into my heart, forgive my sins, save my soul, and make me a new creation. In your name, amen.
