Hi CNKW3,

Why could you not be saved in this fashion? Can you show me from Scripture where we are told whether there must be someone else present?

Does salvation come from man, or the Holy Spirit? If not from man, then who need be present except the Holy Spirit?

Does salvation come from the testimony of man, or from the Word of God? Faith comes by hearing, and hearing the Word of God. Who do we need to hear except for God?

Does hearing mean audible hearing only? What of the man born deaf? Hearing is to perceive the Word. Cannot a man read the Bible and believe it's truth, and be saved?

Is faith to be saved from man, or from God? If from God, why does man need be present?

Can I show an example from Scripture of a person saved when no one else was there? Scripture does not give us the information to know whether this occurred or not.

Please show from Scripture how this cannot be.

Much love!
Mark

So one can be saved while still in their sins? Now who sounds foolish?

Now you are changing the discussion!!

Which is, if you remember... Can one be saved while they are all alone.

So, again...
Can I be “saved” in just anyway and it be ok? Is that what you think God accepts? Just anything?

Hahaha...
Even Rom 10 says one needs to confess with the mouth for salvation. So, why confess with the mouth if no one but God is there to hear it? He don’t need your mouth confession.
You obviously believe baptism has no bearing on your salvation, even when it is preached and practiced over and over and over...
Acts 2:38, 3:19,
The Samaritans, the eunuch
Saul of Tarsus was told to be baptize and wash away his sins but of course that doesn’t apply to you even though christ said..
He that believes and is baptized shall be saved.
Cornelius, Lydia, jailor, corinthians,
Ephesians baptized twice.
Rom 6:1-18
1 Cor 1:10-13; 6:11, 12:13,
Eph 4:5. 5:26
Col 2:11
Gal 3:26,27
1 pet 3:20,21
Should I continue?
Not a one of these ever spoke of being alone and saying some prayer to ask for forgiveness..
THIS IS WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.

Who changed the discussion? Salvation has EVERYTHING to do with sin removal. Do you believe your sins were removed while you were all by yourself? Show me where that ever happened. No where does the Bible teach or display sin removal all by yourself..just quietly believing in Christ.

Again, you are trying to change the discussion that YOU started.

Which is about the moment we are saved...now you add baptism into the mix.

We would all agree that baptizing one self is a foolish discussion.
So, get back to your OP. Or just agree that it is all a bunch of foolishness and some new erroneous teaching that you thought us..
Like:-
"If you were alone when God called you and you became His, then you are not saved. "

OK, so this is a thread on "baptismal regeneration" deceptively packaged as "Can you be saved while alone?"

OK, now we can be clear.

Much love!

Ma’am at what moment are we saved? Can you answer that please?

I’m still waiting for all the examples but so far people just want to argue with no scriptural support. I just gave you a page of examples of people being “saved” and NONE of them were alone. But you do t seem to care which is pretty typical of the “Christian” world these days. The attitude today...
Just leave me alone!

I'm sorry, why exactly are you laughing?

Much love!
Because the moment baptism is even alluded to, people run the other way. I bet I can count on two hands how many times I have read the word baptism bed the last two months. None of you ever even mention it when talking about Christianity. It is like a four letter word that cannot be brought up..
That is why I laugh. You were exhibiting this exact attitude.

I have heard from many people that they were “saved” while they were all alone. They woke up in their bed, got on their knees and prayed to God. They then knew they were saved.
I’ve heard of people riding in their car or on their motorcycle and had an experience, prayed to God, and they knew right then they were saved. There was nobody present.

If this is the case, and we can be saved in this fashion, then why didn’t the HS see fit to give us just ONE example of a person, who was all by themselves, had some experience, prayed to God, asked for forgiveness, and then the Bible pronounced them saved.

So, I am asking for this....
For ANYBODY to show me where ANYONE was ever “saved” in the fashion many people say they were today. All by themselves with no participation from any other human being.
If you cannot show me one Biblical example of this experience then why does anybody think they can be saved in a way that the HS saw fit to leave absent. Are we able to make up our own way of salvation or must we do what what they did when the church was first established?
What did THEY do when the church was first established?

Now you are sounding really stupid.

You are changing the rules yet AGAIN!! ( of Your Thread)

Who said someone had to be there????????

Again...I was saved ALONE with GOD.

I then went to the kitchen and told my husband ...who laughed and said .."Hope it makes you happy."
h
On the following Sunday I went with my brother to a little Mission Hall..told an old lady and she asked the Pastor if I could share with the little church before he preached.

You asked CAN WE BE SAVERD ALONE...the answer is YES.

How many times do you need it said???

Nobody I have ever come in contact with has ever been able to prove to me the HS fell on them for salvation. They just say...yes he did and I know it. I can say anything I want to as well. That doesn’t make it right. The truth is....the HS did not fall on people in the first century for salvation. It was to confirm the word. Mk 16:20
Those is Samaria in acts 8 obeyed the gospel but did not receive the Spirit? Why? Because the direct operation of Spirit was NOT the means of salvation. Those in the first century that had the Spirit could prove it.
You have that backwards... It was the lack of the Holy Spirit in Samaria, and the preaching and baptism that was ineffective. It was not the apostolic presents either, because Phillip had gone first then Peter and John who went and prayed for them to receive the Holy Spirit.

Thus, it is the Holy Spirit (being born again of the spirit of God) that saves.

But why do you require proof? I myself was saved and changed in every way without anyone else but God. If you knew me before and after you would see it in me. But you would also have to be honest, because who can see the heart but God?
