All Jews everywhere were baptized by John, Mark 1:4-5 John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. Then ALL the land of Judea and those from Jerusalem went out to him, and were all baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their...

How were the Ephesians saved, quickened, born again? BY BELIEVING AND OBEYING THE GOSPEL. The Ephesians were not saved before faith. They were not saved the moment they believed. They were saved when they obeyed the whole gospel commandments of Jesus. Notice: the Ephesians also did not get the...

How? How did God quicken us? Through the gospel not by miraculous direct operation of the Holy Spirit, We are born agian by the gospel of Jesus Christ. 1Corinthians 4:15 For through you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have...

Calvinist always intentionally leave out verse 45 in John 6. It reads No one can come to the Me, unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. Now Jesus teaches how the Father draws all of mankind, Verse 45 It is written in the prophets, AND THEY SHALL BE...

I'm glad you brought up Peter, 1Peter 3:20-21 Who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few that is, eight souls were saved through water. There is also an antitype which now saves us--- immersion...

Incorrect. Paul teaches we are saved by a working faith, Galatians 5:6. Ephesians 2:8-9 is teaching of the works man do to merit salvation. These works save no one but condemn. God saves us by His works. Therefore we are Biblically saved by works. Not the works of man, that do not come from God...

Yes faith is a gift from God just as every blessing on earth is a gift from God. Air to breath is a gift from God, Did we merit air to receive it? No. Do we have to wait on God to miraculous give each individual faith? No if so God would be a respecter of persons. Nowhere does the scriptures...

Since God does works in our salvation. Then it only follows logically that Works save us. Therefore the true gospel is saved by works. To say we are not saved by works is found nowhere in the gospel of Christ.

Correct, Faith itself can be only mental assent, James 2:24. Biblical saving faith, is never alone as Paul taught, Galatians 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love. Saving faith that profits mans soul is a faith that...

Thanks. Are there no works involved in salvation?

Acts 3:19 repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out....

Salvation does not precede faith. Faith comes by hearing the gospel. Then we become believers, Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

Faith without obedience is dead, James 2:24

Mark 16:15-16 is one of the the simple to understand passages in the new testament.

Where does Jesus say you are converted? Mark 16:16 teaches we are converted when we are baptized according to Jesus. So you believe we are not saved by works?

Do you believe we are saved by works?

I agree they did not get baptized to become believers. They were already believers. They got baptized as Jesus commanded to be saved, Mark 16:15-16

No one was saved before water immersion in Acts 2:38 or anywhere else in the new covenant/gospel of Christ. If saved without baptism then Jesus was wrong! Mark 16:15-16 and Jesus said to them, Go into all the world and preach the GOSPEL to every nation. He who believes and is baptized will be...
