If salvation has nothing to do with what I do then I don't need to believe. For believing is doing, Acts 16:30-31, - And he brought them out and said Sirs, what must I  do to be saved. Charlie24 says it is not what we do. Is that Paul's response to the Philippian Jailer? Verse 31, - So they...

We are to speak the oracles of God, 1Peter 4:11 Instead of Trinity the Bible speaks of Godhead. That is good enough for me. Instead of an outward sign of already being saved... 1Peter 3:20-21, - who formerly were disobedient when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while...

Post #245 No, Read Colossians 2:9. This question is redirecting the conversation off topic. I'm not claiming baptism is not for the remission of sins, Acts 2:38. I'm not claiming baptism does not save us, 1Peter 3:20-21. I'm not claiming baptism is for already saved Christians. And this is the...

The only way Jesus' disciples could be saved was to believe Jesus rose from the dead. 1Corinthians 15:1-4 death, burial, ressurection. You want to build an argument on faith in Jesus but not faith in His ressurection is still Biblical saving faith. They were not saved during their unbelief and...

Already gave you the answer, 1Peter 3:20-21. When will one of you show where the Bible says NT baptism is an outward display of an already saved Christian?

None of those examples taught baptism was for an outward sign of already being saved. Ethiopian Eunch was baptized in a desert all alone with Philip, Acts 8:37-38. No one has verified yet that the NT baptism in the name of Jesus is because one is already saved. Acts 2:38, repent...be baptized...

Peter did loose faith in Jesus. You are contradicting the Bible. Just as you contradicted the Bible when it says Simon believed and you say no he did not. Jesus said their hearts were hardened. Mark 16:14, - Later Jesus appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and Jesus rebuked their...

If that cannot be a description of a born again christian, then according to you Christians today are incapable of committing sins that go against Jesus. Give scripture that a Christian cannot commit sins, like unbelief or murder or preaching for earthly gain. These are all sins like Simon...

Acts 10:35, -- But in every nation whoever fears Him, and works righteousness is accepted by Him.

You must show where the Bible calls obeying Gods will a work of merit. Where does the Bible teach obeying Gods commandments like repentance and baptism which are works of righteousness. Is meritorious salvation? Faith without obedience to Gods commandments like repentance and baptism is not...

I agree. But can this definition of NT baptism be found in the gospel of Christ?

Hello, Peter says baptism in the name of Jesus Christ is not a bath, "not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but an answer of a good conscience toward God. Peter says don't mistake new covenant baptism with Jewish washings. Peter: baptism is the answer of a good conscience, Obeying the...

I do. Peter tells Simon to repent of his sin: trying to purchase the power that the apostles were given. Peter tells Simon he was not chosen by Jesus to apostleship, this is why Peter tells Simon he has no part in his ministry. What is Simon's response? Begs Peter who believes that Jesus is...

1Peter 3:20-21, There is an antitype which now saves us- baptism, (Mark 16:15-16) not the removal of the filth of the flesh: (what baptism is not) but the answer of a good conscience toward God through the resurrection(1Corinthians 15:1-4; Romans 6:3-6) of Jesus Christ.

The gospel of Jesus Christ, Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:15-16; 1Corinthians 15:1-4, Faith in the death, burial and ressurection of Christ required to receive Gods grace. Thief on the cross, his Faith, Faith in Jesus as the Messiah, knowing Jesus is dying. No faith in or knowledge of His...

Hebrews 18:3, - and said, Assuredly, I say to you unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

All are born into a sinful world, "Behold I was brought forth in iniquity." David's mother's sin he was conceived in, "and in sin my mother conceived me." Mother and world born into = sin David born baby = sinless.

You need to understand why Peter told Simon he has no part in his ministry. Peter was given the responsibility as an apostle. Only Peter was given all the abilities of the Holy Spirit through baptism of the Holy Spirit, Acts 1 and 2. Simon, was not chosen by Jesus to be his apostle. Therefore...
