It's bias, predetermined notions that people have, and not confusion over what the word clearly and simply says.

Yes, but the point is it's required for salvation, no different than belief, faith, confession, and repentance, and is a command to believers as noted in Mk 16:15-16; and its not a work, as many here erroneously claim, as though it was a work of the flesh

It's very simple. The absolute 1st requirement of salvation is belief. No one can believe for another person, and infants are incapable of belief. Jesus said in Mk 16:15-16 below: 1, believe 2 be baptized. Not 1 be baptized and 2 believe later on, maybe, maybe not. Yer this is what's typically...

Baptism? He that believeth AND is baptized shall be saved. Being obedient includes baptism, being baptized. "And" is a conjunction which inextricably ties belief and baptism together. Both are required and baptism is therefore commanded to, and required by the believer.

Look, its very simple. You can't agree with one scripture and disagree with another or ignore the other. Scripture doesn't conflict with scripture; it ALL must be taken into consideration. You didn't address the 2 that I cited. What do they mean if not what they clearly say, or fi you ignore...

Following and being obedient is a commandment and requirement. Jesus said "he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved" (Mk 16:15-16). And God will take vengeance on those that "obey not the gospel: (1 Thes 1:8). Pretty clear. Faith ain't enough.

Faith alone doctrine is unscriptural, since believing and faith go hand-in-hand, and if you have duch belief and faith you'll then be obedient, and obedience requires you to do yet more: repent and be baptized.

It doesn't but anything that's contrary to the truth is a doctrine of the devil because foolish, lazy people will believe it, embrace it, and put their faith and trust in it, ultimately loosing their souls. Is this not what the devil wants? Is this not how the devil operates, by spreading false...

Scripture cannot contradict Scripture. The only way to get the correct, total understanding of scripture is to combine all scripture on any given topic. Regarding salvation, you put the pieces together. Kne scripture says belief is required. Another says faith is required. Yet another says...

If you study and follow the scriptures, its undeniable that baptism is not a sign nor serves the purpose of showing anyone anything relative to your belief, but rather us an absolute need to be saved. Mk 16:15:16 shows it's a commandment and necessity. Belief and baptism are inextricably tied...

I don't know what point you're trying to make. Yes, part of the gospel that Philip preached to the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8 obviously included the need to be baptized when he us why the eunuch asked about it being near a body of water, and the words are clear: he was told he could be baptized...

It is 100% true and 100% scriptural. And you lack understanding of the thief on the cross issue. In simple terms, Jesus was still alive when he forgave the thief on the cross, no different than his forgiving others during his earthly ministry. His being alive means that the OT was still in...

If you've not been immersed in water, you're not part of the body of Christ, still in sin, and not saved.

Infant baptism is a doctrine of the devil

You for sure are not his representative nor do you speak for him. Goodbye

Having SEX is marriage! Marriage: What is marriage and when do you really become married? Is it after some formal or elaborate ceremony or process, such as when a justice of the peace, ordained minister or “priest” of some church mumbles some words in front of you both while holding a bible or...

Understanding 1 Peter 3:19 (Pertinent scriptures below) Who are the "spirits in prison", in 1 Peter 3:19, and the "dead" in 1 Peter 4:6? First, you must understand the word "spirits" (pneumasin in the Greek) in 1 Peter 3:19 and the use of this word as opposed to 'soul' (psyches in the Greek)...

That in my view is where the problem is. If you have multiple sex partners it's akin to marrying over and over again, and what is that? Sin; It's really adultery.

What do you mean by having intent to marry yet having sex with the person? Scripturally, engaging in sexual intercourse is marrying as I've been trying to point out to you! 2 flesh becoming 1= marrying
