This thread started out reminding people of Acts 2:38. Amazing isn't it how committed some can be in denying its importance?
Do you know any Christian who is not also baptized? I don't.
"reminding people of Acts 2:38"? Thanks,
All Scripture Is Profitable for our learning!
"Amazing isn't it how committed some can be in denying its importance?"?
No,
some of us who are
Also Amazed @ God's Wonderful GRACE, do not
deny
anything, but, we do have questions about WHY those under the
"great commission"
believe in it's
importance, but, then "deny The
Importance of
ALL that is Associated WITH it"? Or
Minimize importance by:
Practicing "
pick And Choose" theology, of what to obey {the Important Parts?}
or
NOT OBEY {the UNimportant Parts?}!
Exactly HOW is that being "obedient to Christ,"
When He Specifically Said:
“Observe ALL things WHATSOEVER I Have COMMANDED you!”?
i.e:
►► Peter [+11], TWELVE
preached:
(A) Salvation = "he that believeth
AND is baptized Shall Be SAVED!"
(Mark_16:16 cp
Luke_7:29-30; ►
Acts_2:38; ◄ James_2:17-18!) ◄◄
(B) And
Includes The LORD’s FIVE-Part
Marching Orders, the
so-called ( added as a
Page Header in Bibles )
Great Commission:
(B1):
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in The Name
Of The Father, and Of The SON, and of The Holy Ghost: Teaching
them to
Observe ALL Things Whatsoever I Have Commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen!”
Including: “Observe ALL things WHATSOEVER I Have COMMANDED you!”:
“Then Spake JESUS To the multitude, And To HIS disciples,
Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in
Moses’ seat:
ALL therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that OBSERVE
AND DO; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not!”
(B2):
“And HE Said Unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the
gospel to every creature. He that believeth And is baptized shall
be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these
signs Shall Follow them that believe: In MY Name shall they cast out
devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents;
and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they
shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover…. And they went
forth, and preached every where, The LORD Working With them, and
Confirming The Word With
signs following. Amen!” (Mark_16:15-20!)
(B3):
“And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in
HIS Name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are
witnesses of these things. And, behold, I Send The Promise of MY
Father Upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be
endued with power From On High!” (Luke_24:47-49!)
(B4):
“Then Said JESUS To them again, Peace Be Unto you: As MY Father
Hath Sent ME, Even So Send I you. And When HE Had Said This, HE
Breathed On them, And Saith Unto them, Receive ye The Holy Ghost:
Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and
whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained!” (John_20:21-23!)
(B5):
“But ye shall receive power, after that The Holy Ghost Is Come Upon you:
and ye shall be witnesses unto ME both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea,
and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth!” (Acts_1:8!)
End of: Salvation / Commission In God's "Law/Prophetic Program!"
From CHRIST To HIS TWELVE,
on the earth!

Well, Precious friend(s), is it
ALL IMPORTANT, or do we make
Excuses of
WHY we "pick and choose"?

"Do you know any Christian who is not also baptized? I don't."?

future
Discussion of NO water! OK?
God Bless!
