Acts 2:38 has been abandoned by Christianity

[Truther]

OK, believe what you will.

Rather, believe and obey Acts 2:38.

 

[Charlie24]

He was saved by saying "what will you have me do"?

Were the 3000 also saved by saying "what shall we do"?

All we need is to ask a question to be saved?

That is ridiculous, a play on words.

Paul surrendered to Christ is saying, "Lord, what will you have me do."

The 3000 were convicted and didn't know what to do.

What is the differrence?

 

[Truther]

I think some had said, Repent because you are already saved???

I would definitely repent if I thought I was saved and found out that I had not been baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of my sins.

Now that's something to repent about.

A mere question does not save anyone, Charlie.

Who teaches that anyway?

They(modernists) skipped baptism, then eventually skipped repentance,.... now they are backing up to.. "saved by a question"?

Next thing you know they will teach you are saved in your sleep.

Oh no!

I just gave them a new doctrinal idea.

Umm ... I have a question (opss darn now I'm saved)

...and don't tell me you forgot what you were going to ask, already...LOL

My Lord! What came out of Paul's mouth was what had happened in his heart.

He had surrendered to Christ and that surrendering was revealed in "Lord, what will you have do."

 

[Truther]

I guess "Saved During Sleep"(SDS) is doctrinal.

It is truly saved without works.

No confessing or repenting etc.

Hey, great idea!!!

What did Paul do, Charlie?

A..nothing?

B...get baptized...?

Like this...

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?

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.

 

[Charlie24]

"The baptizers"?

Never heard that one.

I went to a Church of Christ with a friend who asked me to go. I wanted to see what was going on, so I went.

They tried to dunk me so I would be saved. Since then I call them the "baptizers."

I can do that!

Here is where it all went wrong, Charlie.

They don't say "in the name of Jesus" as they baptize.

They teach silent baptism.

They don't remits sins in the COC, but just give free baths.

Finally something we agree on.

 

[Truther]

To be exact, ANY church or religion that baptizes in anything other than in the name of Jesus is just a glorified bath house for believing sinners.

BORING!!!

Now that's something to repent about.

Baptism is a ritual declaring your old, sinful man, to be dead. Nothing more.

Reductio ad absurdum!

Ephesians 2:8-9, "For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God; it is not from works, so that no one can boast."

Works are clearly not involved.
