    Salvation Through Baptism ???

    (Titus 2:11,12) Helps to teach us how God saves men by GRACE. For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; (Titus 2:11,12)...

    Lu 7:30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him. One cannot please God while rejecting His commands.(Jn 12:48)

    Believe + Baptism = Saved (Mark 16;16) Repent + Be Converted = Blot Out Sins (Acts 3:19) Repent + Baptism = Remission of Sins (Acts 2:38) Arise + Be Baptized = Wash Away Sins (Acts 22:16) Preaching Christ includes teaching water baptism (Acts 8:5,12,13,26-40 ; 16:30-34)

    Salvation Through Baptism ???

    The believed first in - 1. In Johns baptism IN WATER FOR THE REMISSION OD SINS. (Jn 3:3-5,23)(Mark 1:4) But Paul explains to them Johns baptism was outdated and no longer in affect. Paul explains to them the NT Baptism (the gospel) as we see is (Mark 16:15,16) (Acts 8:5,12,13,26-40 ; 10:48...

    Salvation Through Baptism ???

    Baptism in water is mentioned in the NT. Believe + Baptism = Saved (Mark 16:15,16) (Acts 8:5,12,13,26-40 ; 16:30-34 ; 22:16) According to the scriptures above the gospel which SAVES includes BAPTISM (in water). We must go by EVERY WORD OF THE LORD (Mt. 4:4).

    Salvation Through Baptism ???

    People did not even know about being baptized in the name of Jesus in (Act 19:1-6). Yet they were baptized (in water) according to the gospel (Mark 16:15,16) (Acts 2:38,47 ; 8:5,12,13,26-40 ; 16:15 ; 16:30-34) (Col.2:12) (Titus 3:5) (Heb.10:22) (Rom.6:3-18) (Gal.3:27) (Jn 3:3-5,23)

    Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

    Salvation Through Baptism ???

    (Mark 16:16) And (Acts 3:19) both harmonize with what the COC member taught from what I can tell. Believe + Baptism = Saved (Mark 16:16) Repent + Converted = Sins Blotted Out (Acts 3:19) Arise + Be Baptized = Wash Away Your Sins (Acts 22:16)

    Ac 8:36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; How did the eunuch learn of water? Keep in mind they are in the desert and still the eunuch was looking for water. Scenarios do not change the word of God. Believe + Baptism =...

    Salvation Through Baptism ???

    One thing I do not trust is the tradition of men. The Lord has placed all things pertaining to life and godliness within the pages of the bible according to (2Peter 1:3). 2Pe 1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, All need to...

    Salvation Through Baptism ???

    Col 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. God is doing an operation on those who are correctly baptized in water (Acts 2:38,47 ; 8:5,12,13,26-40 ; 16:15 ;16:30-34 ; 22:16)

    How did the eunuch know about being baptized in water? (Acts 8) - WATER Ac 8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth...

    Salvation Through Baptism ???

    Let's look at this scripture backwards to learn about calling on the name of the Lord. That is, since we have such a hard time understanding it forwards. 18. Listen to words. 17. Faith comes by hearing the word of God 16. Obey the gospel. 15. Preach the gospel. 14. Call on Him. 13. Call...

    Salvation Through Baptism ???

    It is always good to read the whole chapter and get the context before one speaks. 1Co 1:14 ¶ I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; 15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. 16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not...

    Salvation Through Baptism ???

    I do not teach baptismal regeneration. I was passive when I was baptized in water. Someone else was doing the work. It is God who is doing the work when I am baptized in water (Col.2:11,12) The Lord is cutting away sins (not skin) at the point of water baptism (Acts 2:38,47 ...
