I'm not saying anything. The scriptures say it. If the scriptures require belief then so be it. If thry too require confession of belief as did the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8 consistent with Romans 10:9, so be it. If they also require repentance as were tied to the Jews in Acts 2 on the day of...

I'm not picking at nits. People constantly use the argument contrary to baptism as a requirement citing the thief on the cross as justification. Tell Peter that baptism doesn't save as he stated to the contrary in 1 Peter 3:20-1. You're wrong, Peter was right. Further to this point, how does...

If you've followed the biblical plan of salvation you know you're saved. When all pertinent scriptures are considered as relates to salvation, you end up with the following list of requirements: 1. Belief and faith 2. Confession of belief as did the Ethiopian eunuch on Acts 8 consistent with...

Goodbye. Believe whatever you like.

I have already dealt with this in this posting. Read the OP. Jesus forgave the thief while Jesus was alive, no different than he forgave the adulterous woman of her sins. This was done while the old covenant was still in effect. Baptism became a part of the salvation process after his death as...

No, rather it's up to you to provide scripture that supports deathbed salvation.

There is no such thing as last minute salvation on someone's deathbed nor examples of this or inference of this in the bible. It's man conceived nonsense as well as being contrary to the NT teaching on salvation. No one has been saved at the last moment of their life out of fear and desperation...

Read my other comments on this. The subject of baptism as relates to the thief should not even be considered since Jesus was still alive, meaning the old covenant was still on effect and not new. Si you couldn't possibly be baptized into Christ or his death as required under the new testament...

John's baptism was not based upon Jewish rites. It was the precursor to the baptism into Christ pursuant to Acts 2:38. Identical in nature but not one that saves or places you in the body of Christ which is the church which the Lord himself does (Acts 2:47), nor did John's give the gifts of the...

On the contrary. You patch scripture together to gain a complete understanding of what was being taught piecemeal. Believe what you like. Goodbye

Yes, patching scripture together is exactly what you must do when reading the bible.

You are not harmonizing scripture. Do you think all the elements of salvation are listed every time and in every related scripture? They are not. You must put all the elements together as extracted from all related scriptures to get the entire picture. No different than reading all 4 gospels to...

Just one small but important point of clarification for you. It's by water baptism that you receive the gift of the spirit and are added to the Lord's body, the church per Acts 2:38-47. You don't receive the sprit any other way, and the only way instances that the spirit fell unilaterally were...

What's sad is when people reject plain scripture as you obviously do.

Meaningless words won't undo the scriptures. They say what they say which you've not addressed by your meaningless words. Goodbye

That's not what the scriptures teach. Tell that to Peter (ref. 1Peter 3:20-1), and the Lord (ref. Mark 16:15-16). And how do you think you get "in Christ". It's by being baptized into him according to scripture.

It's the one that the Lord adds you to upon baptism pursuant to Acts 2:47, and that's the one that teaches the following to be saved and added as aforementioned: 1. Belief and faith 2. Confession of belief as did the Ethiopian eunuch and in accordance with Romans 10:9 3. Repentance as was...

Believe what you like but the plain and simple words don't lie. Clue: you are clueless
