1 | Mark 16:15-16 mean? | Matt 28:19 | alanh | 150430 | ||
What did Jesus mean when He said, "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned." (Mar 16:15-16) |

alanh: This passage, Mark 16:15,16 and its parallel passage in Matthew 28:19and related passage in Acts 1:8 comprise some of the clearest and most straightforward messages in Scripture. What did Jesus mean? He meant, in these passages, what He always means; He meant exactly what He said. These passages are commonly called "The Great Commission" and this commission that He laid down to His disciples is clearly defined in these passages and it is no less applicable to Jesus' followers today than it was when He spoke the words. ..... If there is some specific word or phrase in this passage that you find difficult or troubling, I feel sure someone will be quite willing to assist you in your fuller understanding, but as for me I do not presume to be able to improve on these words of our Lord. But, again, if you have a more specific question about these passages, please do not hesitate to ask. --Hank | ||||||

Then we must believe and be baptized in order to be saved? I assume since Acts 2:38 adds repentance to the mix that is a requirement too. | ||||||

Cornelius was not saved before baptism. He was baptized by the Holy Spirit so that Peter would know that "God is no respecter of persons" Acts 10:34. He received the Holy Spirit before he had any faith or belief in Jesus because Peter had not taught them yet (cf. Acts 11:15). If you read through the book of Acts every conversion is ended in baptism. According to Peter it is baptism that now saves us 1 Peter 3:21. Why would Jesus say, "he that believes AND is baptized shall be saved" (Mark 16:16) if baptism is optional or nonessential? | ||||||
