Very good point. Folks invoke the words in Matt 28:19 as though they are actual "names".

Good to see you again, Dan. Hope is all well with you and yours. You are correct, baptism is not mentioned in Acts 3:19. Repentance and baptism is absolutely vital for salvation but it is not mentioned in every salvation verse. But that is the beauty of Acts 2:38, it encapsulates both...

The thief on the cross died before the death, burial, resurrection of Jesus. Hebrews 9:16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. [17] For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth...

Excellent post!

Thank you for your input. Water baptism, in and of itself does not save, but it's part of what does. These scriptures come to mind... John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Mark 16:16...

As a first step toward God, repentance alone does not bring the full power of salvation, although it does bring positive emotional feelings and a limited, temporary strength to break away from sin. The man who repents and goes no further will fall victim to an endless, frustrating cycle of...

John 3:5 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Jesus was pointing towards a new age in which the kingdom of God would soon be revealed, and every person who wished to enter that kingdom would have to be born...

You quoted Eph and Rom. As per the OP: "How did the saints to whom the epistles are written get saved".... Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? [38] Then Peter said unto...

To the "faithful in Christ Jesus" are those whom have obeyed Acts 2:38 whereby have been saved.

As a first step toward God, repentance alone does not bring the full power of salvation, although it does bring positive emotional feelings and a limited, temporary strength to break away from sin. Both water baptism and Holy Spirit are necessary to complete the work that repentance begins...

Acts 2:38 Then 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 Holy Ghost.

Ephesians rightly speaks of saved by grace... Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) It is important to know to whom it was written... Ephesians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which...

In discovering the Omnipresence of God, we begin with a conversation between Jesus and a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. Speaking with him face to face (here on earth) telling him "I am in heaven"... John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came...

That same God which spoke to Moses through a burning bush, overshadowed Mary and she conceived a seed. That one spirit simultaneously inhabits that seed AND remains in heaven (omnipresent). When Mary gives birth, we now have SPIRIT become FLESH. That bouncing baby boy is the ALMIGHTY manifest in...

The following are three different accounts of the very same subject, which shows that the ONE ETERNAL Spirit functions as Father, Son AND Holy Ghost but are not three persons... Matthew 10:17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their...

Not so. You are clearly a TRINITY ... Truther the husband Truther the father Truther the son Question: is the name of your grandson in the avatar, "Son"?

Like this?... Luke 9:54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?

I agree, Matt 28:19 has been changed. It should have supported the following... Luke 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the...

If you made something and wanted everyone to know that you alone had made it, you may say things like you did it alone, no one else with you. Isaiah 45:5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: Isaiah 44:6 Thus saith the...

The OP shows the difference of being one and agree in one. If God were three, verse 7 would read as verse 8.
