The body of Christ IS the church

You are very, very, wrong and mislead. There was and is only one gospel message and it is applicable to, and meant for all. Gal1:8-9 8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9As we said before, so...

What does that mean, "good news about Jesus Christ"? What is the good news?? The good news is that through him mankind can be foregiven and redeemed, and that men's souls can be saved by his cleansing blood that was shed for all that believed in him and are obedient to the good news meaning get...

How about the actual encounter as cited in Acts 9? This is what I was referring to. So, even though Saul encountered the Lord and obviously then believed in him, he was told he still had something to do beyond just his belief. 5And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus...

Belief is 1st and foremost as is faith Repentance is required (Acts 2:38) Confession of your belief (ref. The Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8, and Rom 10:8-10) Baptism, water immersion, for remission is sins (Acts 2:38)

If you're saying being born again is the result of simply believing, you're very wrong nor is that concept at all supported by scripture. The bible says run deviks believe, so, does that mean they're born again? Nah, it doesn't, so, being born again is not accomplished by believing

Sound Doctrine and salvation go hand-in-hand. There is no salvation without doubt doctrine which is a major issue with Christianity today. Very few people understand how to save souls, the result of flawed doctrine and ultimately leading to a false hope and lost souls. Sound Doctrine is more...

It doesn't matter. It still says baptism does now save us. It says what it says, which can't be refuted or unsaid. If it says baptism saves us, then baptism saves us!

Follow the scriptures not the so-called "early church" which which as I indicated, was already going astray as the scriptures were being penned. Have you not read the 1st three chapters of Revelation and the message Jesus had for the 7 "early churches" of Asia? And from that point the "early...

Mark 16:15-16 clearly answers that 15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Believeth and baptized are inextricably linked together by the...

That's a silly question. Infants can't believe, have no sin, can't repent and have no need of it based on the aforementioned, can't confess, so, they can't be baptized scripturally. No infants baptized in scripture, and the scriptures further say men and women were baptized.

Who cares what the early church did. Because they did it, does that validate it? The scriptures are clrear. Believe them, which is or should be our guide, or believe something else.! The Bible also clearly indicates that churches of the day were already going astray.

You can disagree all you want but it won't change what the scriptures clearly say Mk16:15-16 15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 1Peter 3:21...

If you delay baptism when one says he believes, then you may in fact committing the person to eternal death rather than eternal life. If the person would die while they are waiting for YOU to decide if they are ready to be baptized, that person is LOST, not saved. There is no record of anyone...

The utube footage showed a water baptism and not a baptism of the Holy Spirit. Also, there is no corraborating accounts in scripture that this is that which you indicated ot thought it to be. Upon baptism, we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, but are not baptized by it. It dwells in us at...

Except Paul was further directed and told what he still had to do beyond the encounter with the Lord.

The kingdom is the church

That's NOT what the story says at all. He was preached Christ Jesus, he believed and verbally confessed his belief, he asked about baptism since they were near a body of water, so, one can only conclude that part of the gospel Philip preached included the subject of baptism and it's absolute...

See my other previous comment.

Israel was 1st to be brought into the fold, followed by the Gentiles. There are not two sets of standards and requirements. The jews on the day of Pentecost, were told how sins are removed which is echoed throughout the NT scriptures. Is there sone other method for us to have sins removed, or...
