1 | Do I have to be Baptized to be saved? | Rom 10:9 | Derdan | 77501 | ||
The thief on the cross was forgiven personally by Jesus. Jesus had not then died and rose again,so the New Covenant had not yet arrived. It was some forty days later that Jesus gave the great commission to go and preach the gospel which included the command to be baptised, see Mk 16:15-16; Matt 28:18-19. See LovestheLord message below. |

2 | Do I have to be Baptized to be saved? | Rom 10:9 | Derdan | 77422 | ||
Listen to what Jesus said, "He who has believed AND HAS BEEN BAPTISED, shall be saved" Mk 16:16, see also Matt 28:19. Listen to what the apostle Peter said in carrying out the command of his Lord. "Repent AND each of you be BAPTISED in the name of Jesus Christ, FOR the FORGIVENESS OF YOUR SINS" Acts 2:28 Listen to the answer Saul (the apostle Paul) was given by Ananias, when Saul asked the risen Jesus "what must I do". "Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptised, AND wash away your sins, calling on His name" Acts 22:10,16. Paul preached and practised baptism, see Acts 16:14-15;31-33. Note what the apostle Peter wrote. " Baptism now SAVES YOU ... through the resurrection of Jesus Christ" 1 Peter 3:20. Note what the apostle Paul wrote. "For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For ALL of you who were BAPTISED into Christ have clothed yourself with Christ" Gal 3:26-27. See Rom 6:3-6, it is the "old self" that is buried in baptism, "that our body of sin might be done away with". Having buried the old in baptism we are raised from death, so that we might "walk in newness of life". see Col 2:12-13. It would seem clear to me that Baptism is necessary for salvation. That baptism is the place where the blood of Jesus washes away our sins. Baptism does not negate the need of grace, faith, confession of Christ or repentance ... but "He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit" Titus 3:5. Then we are "born of water AND the Spirit", John 3:5. I hope this is helpful to you. |

3 | To be saved must we be baptised? | Acts 2:38 | Derdan | 77327 | ||
Thank you sniper, your answer is spot on. It would be good if all believers studied the examples given in Acts, They would find that in everyone one baptism is mentioned either directly or indirectly, taught and carried out. It puzzles me why there is so much rejection of baptism, which is a simple act of obedience. Repentance is the really hard part by comparison. Thanks again. I note that you made mention of the 'sinners prayer' which is a man made doctrine. This is a modern apostacy and false teaching that prevents men from being saved It became formalized as a theology in the mid 1950's and used in interdenominational crusades. |

4 | Is hearing necessary for salvation? | Rom 10:17 | Derdan | 76377 | ||
Yes, verse 14 confirms this. However look at Acts 11:14, Cornelius needed to hear words spoken to him to be saved. Rom 1:16 The gospel (good news) needs to be heard and believed. Acts 16:14, The heart of Lydia was opened as she listened to the things spoken by Paul. See also 1 Cor 15:1-4. |
||||||
5 | Is "Willful Ignorance" in the Scripture? | Matt 18:22 | Derdan | 76374 | ||
2 Peter 3:5 (KJV) Reads, "For this they willingly are ignorant of ...". The context is the return of the Lord to take His disciples to be with Him forever. Scoffers were denying this would happen while they were "willingly ignorant" of the time of Noah and the flood which destroyed the world. When He comes "the heavens and the earth, which are now, ... are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of Judgement and destruction of ungodly men ..." See 2 Peter 3:3-14. |

6 | To be saved must we be baptised? | Acts 2:38 | Derdan | 76372 | ||
When his listeners asked Peter, "What shall we do? (v37) Why didn't he tell them to "believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved" see Acts 16:30--31. Why didn't they need to believe to be saved? Also, "If Peter's hearers were not baptised, were they still saved? Jesus commanded His disciples to be baptised, see Matt 28:19 | ||||||
7 | The Soul after Death | 2 Cor 5:6 | Derdan | 62743 | ||
Whatever event is being described it is NOT the setting up of His Kingdom, that took place in Jerusalem in 33AD (Acts 2) In Acts 1:1-8 Jesus is speaking to His apostles of "things concerning the kingdom of God" v3. Following on from their questions to Him, Jesus told them they would receive power ("not many days from now") v5 then they would be His witnesses "...even to the remotest part of the earth" v8. Mark 9:1 "they would see the kingdom of God after it had come with power". In Acts 2:29-30 Peter reminds his hearers of God's promise to David "to seat one of his descendants on his throne" looked ahead to Jesus who "God has made both Lord (king) and Christ (messiah). Acts 8:12 "preached the good news about the kingdom of God". Col 1:13 "For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and TRANSFERRED us to the kingdom of His beloved Son". The apostle writing to the Corinthians said the "Christ at His coming, then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when he has abolished all rule and all authority and power". 1 Cor 15:23-26. When He comes it is not to set up the kingdom of God, but to hand over the kingdom to God. Christ had the kingdom of God, had completed His reign, and now hands it back to the Father. "For He must REIGN UNTIL he has put all His enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be abolished in death" v25-26. Rev 1:6 "He HAS (not will in the future)made us to be a kingdom ..." John was a partaker in he tribulation AND kingdom, 1:9. All references to the kingdom of God before Acts 2 look forward to the kingdom coming, and back to the kingdom as a reality after Acts 2. |

8 | Greek translation of Acts 16:34c | Acts 16:34 | Derdan | 62699 | ||
I think the NASB makes the meaning clear, both the Jailor and his household rejoiced, "he and all his household. Note v31 "you will be saved, you and your household". V32, "And they spoke the word of the Lord to him TOGETHER with all who were IN his house". V33, "and immediately he was baptised, he and ALL his household" |

9 | The Soul after Death | 2 Cor 5:6 | Derdan | 62698 | ||
The 'rapture' is NOT scriptural, it is a doctrine of men. 1Thess 4:16 is addressed to 'Christians' who are concerned regarding those who had "fallen asleep in Jesus", v13-14. The living Christians will not precede the dead Christians, because they will be raised first, when the Lord descends from Heaven, v15-16. In verse 17 both the living and raised Christians will "meet the Lord in the air", not on earth. And will be with Him forever. There will only be ONE resurrection of the dead, John 5:28-29. ALL who are in the tombs will hear His voice, and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life,those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgement". ONE resurrection of ALL the dead, not two resurrections. |

10 | Aaron's father's name? | Ex 2:1 | Derdan | 62691 | ||
Jesus was a descendant of Judah, Matt 1:2; Luke 3:33-34; Heb 7:14. Jesus was of the same tribe as David, Rom 1:3-4. Judah was the 'royal' tribe, Levi was the 'priestly' tribe. |
||||||
11 | Aaron's father's name? | Ex 2:1 | Derdan | 62690 | ||
Exodus 6:20 Amram was the father of Aaron and Moses, and probably Miriam too. Earlier in the same chapter (verses 16-18) we learn that Amram was a son of Kohath who was a son of Levi. Hope this helps. |

12 | IS THIS WHAT JESUS BUILT? | Matt 16:18 | Derdan | 61282 | ||
If Alexander Campbell "formed the Church the Christ" then it was not the church that Jesus built, but the church that he built. The church that Jesus built was His church, built on Him, 1 Cor 3:11, He purchased the church with His own blood, Acts 20:28, it wears His name, Rom 16:16 No man, organisation or nation can claim to be the church that Jesus built. Rome, Wesley, Luther, Campbell, Baptist, etc cannot claim to be The church that He built. |

13 | NT Church | Matt 16:18 | Derdan | 61277 | ||
The N.T didn't exist when Jesus made His statement in Matt 16:18. Jesus said "I WILL build My church" - pointing to a future date. We know that His church was in existence in the book of Acts, see 2:47, 5:11,14. So when did it begin if it wasn't in Acts 2? |

14 | NT Church | Matt 16:18 | Derdan | 61250 | ||
The O.T. church was the result of a covenant made between God and the nation of Israel, mediated by Moses, see Deut 5:1-5ff. The N.T. church is for ALL nations and people, see Matt 28:19-20; Mark 16:15-16. Those who obeyed the gospel were added to it by the lord himself, cp Acts 2:41,47; Eph 2:11-22. |

17 | Catholic Church and catholic church? | Matt 16:18 | Derdan | 61246 | ||
The word catholic means "universal". The Catholic church is NOT the church that Jesus built. One of several reasons being that the Catholic church was established many many years after the church that Jesus built began. Acts chapter 2 records the beginning of the church in the city of Jerusalem, (AD33) and those who were saved were being added to it, Acts 2:41,47. |

20 | IS PETER | Matt 16:18 | Derdan | 61236 | ||
No. The rock is Jesus Christ, the only foundation that is laid, 1 Cor 3:11. The rock on which the church would be built in Matt 16:18 was the confession by Peter,"Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God" in verse 16. |
