    The 1st century way to be saved via water and Spirit baptism

    In harmony with (Acts 3:19; 10:43-47; 11:17,18) yes he would. But Peter would not agree with false religions and cults.

    The 1st century way to be saved via water and Spirit baptism

    Multiple false religions and cults would agree with your interpretation of Acts 2:38. Can you say, “red flag?”

    Now you sound like a Oneness Penecostal.

    The 1st century way to be saved via water and Spirit baptism

    Trusting in plain ordinary H2O to save you over trusting in Jesus Christ alone to save you is trusting in a water god. You need to trust exclusively in the Savior God to save you through faith in Him. Faith in H20 does not save. You remain deceived.

    The 1st century way to be saved via water and Spirit baptism

    So you are saying that prior to acts 2:38, baptism was not required for salvation but afterwards it is? John the Baptist was prior to the death of Jesus and in Mark 1:4, we read that he was preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. So was John’s baptism for “in order to...

    The 1st century way to be saved via water and Spirit baptism

    You need to place your faith in the Savior God and not the water god.

    The 1st century way to be saved via water and Spirit baptism

    If water baptism is absolutely required for salvation, then why did Jesus not mention it in the following verses? (3:15,16,18; 5:24; 6:29,40,47; 11:25,26). What is the ONE requirement that Jesus mentions 9 different times in each of these complete statements? *BELIEVES. *What happened to...

    The 1st century way to be saved via water and Spirit baptism

    Sadly, there are many unbelievers who will get baptized (in various false religions and cults) and such people may believe “mental assent” in the existence and in historical facts about Jesus, but they are not trusting in Him as the ALL-sufficient means of their salvation, but instead are...

    The 1st century way to be saved via water and Spirit baptism

    Mark 16:16 - He who believes and is baptized will be saved (general cases without making a qualification for the unusual case of someone who believes but is not baptized) but he who does not believe will be condemned. The omission of baptized with "does not believe" shows that Jesus does not...

    Believing in Jesus Christ Is How We Are Saved

    They said believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved (end stop for verse 31). Baptism was not added to the equation in verse 31. They were saved when they believed (prior to receiving water baptism) just as these Gentiles were saved when they believed prior to receiving water...

    Believing in Jesus Christ Is How We Are Saved

    There are many who believe “mental assent” in the existence of Jesus Christ who will not receive eternal life which is not the same as believing in Him unto salvation. (Acts 16:31)

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Excellent article on Acts 22:16. :) WHAT IS TRUTH: Acts 22:16--Baptism Essential for Salvation?

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    You still don’t get it. In James 2:19, we see that the demons believe "mental assent" that "there is one God," but they do not believe/have faith in/trust in/reliance in Jesus Christ for salvation. In other words, they do not believe on the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 16:31) and are not saved. Their...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    You still don’t get it. The gospel is the “good news” of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that BELIEVES. *To “believe” the gospel is the trust in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ as the...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Actually, it’s your doctrine that is full of fallacies, contradictions and double talk. You clearly teach salvation by faith “and works” no matter how much you try and sugarcoat it. You are not fooling me or any other of my brothers and sisters in Christ on this forum.

    Works-salvationists just don’t get it.

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Again, there is no contradiction or double talk on my part. You just don’t get it and there is a reason for that. Man is saved through faith and not by works (Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9); yet genuine faith is evidenced by works. (James 2:14-24) *Christ saves us through faith...

    Believing in Jesus Christ Is How We Are Saved

    John 6:40 - For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    There is no contradiction on my part and I already properly harmonized scripture with scripture in posts #21, #24, #28, and #33 but you just don’t understand.

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    An empty profession of faith/dead faith that remains “alone” (barren of works) is not genuine faith. (James 2:14-18) Not to be confused with genuine faith that trusts in Christ “alone” for salvation and results in producing good works. (Ephesians 2:5-10)
