I've posted thus clarification previously which should address this. The thief on the cross misconceptions I continually encounter people trying to justify that baptism is not an absolute necessity for one's salvation by use (erroneously) of the thief on the cross as justification, as he was...

God for sure removes them IF we are obedient and follow his commands. Like I said, you are out to lunch. Believe whatever nonsense you like. Goodbye

You guys are out to lunch. What are we saved from? Our past sins; and you aren't saved until they're removed. And how is that done according to the scriptures? It's not by belief or faith only, nor by repentance or confession only.

If you read a little further in 1 Cor you'll see what Paul meant by stating he was not sent to baptize but to preach. Read 1 Cor 3:6-9. There it says Paul preached and Apollos watered.

Thnx but the warning to me is not necessary. I've been a baptized believer for almost 50yrs.

Post 189 is a valid response. Goodbye

No, what's stupid is the unscriptural idea of original sin that man has dreamt up which further propagated other equally stupid ideas such as pouring water on infants as a supposed form of baptism followed by the unscriptural idea of after-the-fact confirmation of belief which is backwards as...

Jesus was a new born infant too at some point; did he have or was he guilty of so-called "original sin" simply because he was born? Original sin is nonsense. Sin must be committed. It's a transgression.

You make no sense. It'd be the same conscience choice required to willfully commit sin which they, infants, cannot do. Therefore, there's nothing to be removed. There's no such thing as origin sin. It's unscriptural man made-up nonsense.

The process is the process; it doesn't change. It requires belief and faith, confession of your belief, repentance, and water baptism for the forgiveness of your sins. That's the process.

The New Testament or covenant didn't begin until after his death (read Hebrews 9:16-17); so, all his words and actions were under the old covenant which was done away with upon the new covenant/testament being established.

No. Zero

The church is the body of Christ. You don't join the body (the church), but you are rather added to it by the Lord upon being baptized in his name after which you are added to the body by him. Read Acts 2:38-47

The thief on the cross went to the 3rd Heaven, paradise, not sheol. So what's the distinction? He was forgiven by the Lord.

Believe what you like. You don't know what you're talking about. Goodbye

You have it backwards. Acts 19 was the rule or the exception. Read the account of Simon the sorcerer in Acts 8:8 18And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, For Acts 10:43 to be all that's necessary, you have to throw out...

You cherrypick scripture and do not consider all relevant scriptures. And yes, it is the gospel of salvation if you believe, but it also requires your obedience. Belief will not save your soul. Belief doesn't remit sins. Belief doesn't add you to the church. Keep dreaming.

I did say a baptized believer. Also, that's another reason infant baptism makes zero sense: they haven't believed. And regarding Paul, you have to read a bit further in that letter regarding. Paul planted and Apollos watered 1 Cor 3:6
