    The Baptism That Saves: What Most People Miss in Acts 11:16

    Going back to John's baptisms which were immersion in water, and called the "baptism of repentance for the remission of sins" (Mark 1:4). And then to Acts 2:38 which says "be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins", the difference being in the name of...

    The Baptism That Saves: What Most People Miss in Acts 11:16

    Your misunderstanding is continued in all the scriptures you cited. 1corinthians 12:13 is actually "in one Spirit", not "by one Spirit". Check out the original Greek in the interlinear as well as other translations. The Greek word is 'en', = in. 1 Peter 3:21: the "qualifier" as you put it...

    The Baptism That Saves: What Most People Miss in Acts 11:16

    Water immersion into Christ. Pretty clear by scripture, since being baptized into Christ by immersion is the only way described in the bible that remits sin, places you in the body of believers which is the church, and enables the gift of the Spirit itself to dwell in you enabling you oo become...

    The Baptism That Saves: What Most People Miss in Acts 11:16

    One Baptism and it's water immersion, and 1 Peter 3:21 says it DOES save us. You are misreading Acts 11:16. Read starting from earlier in that chapter, like at verse 5. Those words were said to Peter by the Lord, and he was one of the 11 apostles upon which the Holy Ghost fell as recorded in...

    Why hadn't the baptized believers in Samaria received the Holy Spirit?

    I simply relied on the interlinear on bible hub for Acts2:4 3P 2980 [e] lalein λαλεῖν to speak V-PNA 2087 [e] heterais ἑτέραις in other Adj-DFP 1100 [e] glōssais γλώσσαις tongues N-DFP 2531

    THE GOSPEL

    Yep, I understand which is what I tried to made clear to the one I responded to. Basically, anything and everything we do is a "work" due to our physical nature.

    THE GOSPEL

    I'm not going to argue or debate with you over this ridiculous notion. Believe what you like.

    THE GOSPEL

    What is your point? Is this that you cited, the complete SAVING message? Does it say how one is saved? Did Philip tell the Ethiopian eunuch, who wasn't a Jew by the way, more? Philip told the eunuch more. Why do we have all the various scriptures, letters, etc? Because they are all needed to get...

    THE GOSPEL

    What do you mean by "works"? Works ofbthe flesh? We're physical; everything we do coukd be considered some kind of "work", even thinking, only because we're physical. Bur we must obey, and we must therefore.perform sone kind of physical activity to do that which baptism is.

    THE GOSPEL

    You are extremely confused. There is ONE gospel and ONE means of salvation for everyone both Jews and Gentiles, then and now.

    THE GOSPEL

    This is simply stating fact and advocates necessity and OBEDIENCE!

    PETER AND THE ONE AND ONLY GOSPEL

    Baptistm wasn't a requirement for salvation until Christ died; so, the thief was forgiven by Christ while Christ was yet alive under the old testament. Anyone that uses the thief to validate their argument against baptism is totally wrong as is their belief. Read Hebrews 9:15-17 And paradise is...

    THE GOSPEL

    The moment you believe is NOT when you're saved as you stated. All that believed in the scriptural records did more as did were told The gospel also included a bit more. Read the account of the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8. Philip preached the necessity of baptism. And the jews were told to also...

    Rock Peter

    You are misunderstanding the scripture Peter NOT the 1st pope: Analysis Matthew 16 - Peter and the keys of the kingdom Matthew 16 analysis - Peter being the first so-called pope and provided with the keys of the kingdom Matthew 16:15-19 - Catholics erroneously use these verses, and...

    SHOULD I BE WATER BAPTIZED?

    It's very simple. You must combine all scripture to get the complete message. There are 4 gospels not one. We piece together what they each say to get the complete message. And likewise, there are also numerous letters written to different groups fur different reasons. Each one had its own...
