Trinity TRANSLATIONS -- - - . Translations is the key word. Once again, scripture does not contradict itself.

Scripture does NOT contradict itself and must be looked at cumulatively. You cannot extract one passage only and found a belief upon it, but rather, you must take all pertinent scriptures to ascertain in total what they say cumulatively.

Just for clarification for you, yes, it's Christ's blood, but where does one contact the saving blood of Christ? It's by being baptized into his body. Read Romans 6 carefully. We're baptized into his death and it's at his death that his blood was shed. Also, you're not understanding he thief...

You're not understanding the difference in John's baptism vs baptism into Christ and that there is a difference. John's baptism was identical to the baptism noted in Acts 2:38. John's Baptism was stated as the baptism of repentance for the remission of sin. This is in essence the same as Acts...

Paul was told to be baptized calling on the name of the Lord. And Jesus said belief and baptism is necessary for salvation. Acts 22:16 16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. Mark 16:15-16 15And he said unto them, Go ye...

You can't be born again and be Christ's if you're in sin and the only way to remove sin is by water immersion, baptism. Acts 2:38 38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the...

You're NOT saved until you've been baptized according to scripture. Until you're baptized, you're still in sin.

You obviously don't understand what being converted means. What does it mean? You're NOT converted until you've been saved. And what does that mean? It means your sins have been forgiven and you are the Lords. And how does that happen according to scripture? Read Acts 2:38-47. Upon belief and...

Just FYI, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, or in the name of Jesus Christ simply means by the authority of, not that you must recite their names at the time of immersion. If one believes and confesses their belief as did the Ethiopian eunuch which is consistent...

Yes, they were speaking in tongues: Why, what was the purpose of the unconverted Gentiles speaking in tongues, and why were they then immediately baptized?

Yep, I'm sure he did. That's our job, to teach and convert others but that has nothing to do with the statement that baptism is simply a ritual for demonstration.

A ritual for the purpose of demonstration? That's nonsense! When the Ethiopian eunuch was converted as recorded in Acts 8, it was in the middle of nowhere with just he and Philip there.

That's really not the case. In Acts 2 and 10, the Holy Spirit FELL as a manifestation of the Spirit unilaterally without the laying on of the apostle's hands, and as a sign from above that what was occurring was the will of God. In both cases, the church was started first in Jerusalem amongst...

That's exactly what the scripture, Acts 2:38, says . Baptism 1st afterwhich you receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. So even if someone says they received the Holy Ghost before baptism, it's not possible.

Yes. If you believe you'll obey and obedience requires confession of your belief, repentance, and baptism. Not any single item mentioned will save your soul; all are necessary. You can't be baptized until you believe. And baptism requires your prior confession of belief as well as repentance...

Saving Faith must be acted upon in order fir it to save. If you have such faith as did the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8, you'll do what he did by being obedient. He confessed his belief and was baptized. And the comment that John the Baptist made in Luke 3:16 was realized as confirmed in Acts 2...

You're totally wrong, inconsistent with scripture, and teaching error. The only way according to scripture that sins are remitted is by baptism (Acts2:38) not simply by belief as you stated. 1st Peter 3:20-21 says baptism saves us. The Lord says belief and baptism are required to be saved (Mark...

On the contrary it, baptism, is ABSOLUTELY needed for salvation per the scriptures. And it's not for public testimony. That's modern day man made-up unscriptural nonsense. The Ethiopian eunuch was in the middle of nowhere with just he and Philip. Mark16:15-16 15And he said unto them, Go ye...

Belief/faith Confession of belief Repentance Baptism (immersion in water) The above are all necessary

You are correct regarding Romans 10:9. Confession is only one of the elements required for salvation. The conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch in acts 8 confirms that Confession of belief is required. But also, in conjunction with his belief and confession of it, he needed to be baptized. The...
