LOLAccording to some, it should read like this...
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, we need to wait a few years until our epistles are written so they can skip Acts 2:38.
Jesus' last words on earth...Think!!! If water baptism could save you then there would be no need for Jesus!!!
Jesus' last words on earth...
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
he that believeth not shall be damned==NOT he that believeth not ''and is not baptized""shall be damned.Think!!! If water baptism could save you then there would be no need for Jesus!!!
....Exactly opposite of what Jesus commanded in Mark 16:16.he that believeth not shall be damned==he that believeth not ''and is not baptized""shall be damned.
he that believeth not shall be damned==NOT he that believeth not ''and is not baptized""shall be damned.
Lets break this down for you...
Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
He that owns a car and has gas shall drive; but he that owns not a car shall not drive.
Are you saying Jesus also commanded the unbeliever to be baptized in Mark 16:16?The unbeliever is damned Not the unbaptized!!

Did you know that Jesus was intelligent to the point that he knew unbelievers do not get baptized?The unbeliever is damned Not the unbaptized!! Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but ""he that believeth not shall be damned.""
Mark 16:16 - He who believes and is baptized will be saved (general cases without making a qualification for the unusual case of someone who believes but is not baptized) but he who does not believe will be condemned. The omission of baptized with "does not believe" shows that Jesus does not make baptism absolutely necessary for salvation. Condemnation rests on unbelief, not on a lack of baptism. So salvation rests on belief. *NOWHERE does the Bible say "baptized or condemned."he that believeth not shall be damned==NOT he that believeth not ''and is not baptized""shall be damned.
No, the omission of baptized in the unbelief portion is understanding the Jesus is not so dumb to think unbelievers get baptized.Mark 16:16 - He who believes and is baptized will be saved (general cases without making a qualification for the unusual case of someone who believes but is not baptized) but he who does not believe will be condemned. The omission of baptized with "does not believe" shows that Jesus does not make baptism absolutely necessary for salvation. Condemnation rests on unbelief, not on a lack of baptism. So salvation rests on belief. *NOWHERE does the Bible say "baptized or condemned."
If water baptism is absolutely required for salvation, then why did Jesus not mention it in the following verses? (3:15,16,18; 5:24; 6:29,40,47; 11:25,26). What is the ONE requirement that Jesus mentions 9 different times in each of these complete statements? *BELIEVES. *What happened to baptism? *Hermeneutics.
John 3:18 - He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who (is not water baptized? - NO) does not believe is condemned already, because he has not (been water baptized? - NO) because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
*HERMENEUTICS*
Sadly, there are many unbelievers who will get baptized (in various false religions and cults) and such people may believe “mental assent” in the existence and in historical facts about Jesus, but they are not trusting in Him as the ALL-sufficient means of their salvation, but instead are trusting in water baptism and other works to save them.The unbeliever is damned Not the unbaptized!!

Only dumb people think Jesus meant this...
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not AND IS NEVERTHELESS BAPTIZED shall be damned.
