1 | When were Cornelius and comapny saved? | 1 Pet 3:21 | Searcher56 | 113688 | ||
Scripture ... Acts 11:44-48 ................... Was Cornelius and comapny saved (vv 44-46) before they were baptized (vv 47-48)? I also see there is nothing mentioned about faith, belief, confession, repentance. These may hve to be implied ... but it is clear that baptism was after salvation. |

Hello Rowdy, According to your definition for salvation you might not be saved yet; what if you are overlooking one of God’s commands, legally, by what you have said that might be the case? Maybe you are overlooking 17 of God’s commands by the way, how many are there, I have never heard the exact amount. Have you actually sold all of your positions yet and given the money to the poor? It sounds like you still trying to do something so you can have eternal life? Matthew 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? It doesn’t look like you have sold everything yet because you are still on the Internet! Food for thought, don’t you think? It sounds like you sure are trying hard but how are you actually doing according to God’s standard, he does have a standard you know? Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. You better forget the work mentioned in James until you get the gift. It sound like you are putting the cart before the horse, and you haven’t even got a horse yet. Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; With all your keeping and doing and trying where does grace fit into the picture or is grace no longer grace? Ephes. 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that NOT OF YOURSELVES: it is the GIFT of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. You are trying to do something to get the GIFT, and in that case it won’t be a gift; you are going to receive wages and the only wages we can receive is death. That doesn’t sound like good new to me, CDBJ |

Matt 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Any serious Bible student recognizes the NT sub-divides into 2 different basic categories. The conversion of all unbelievers into christians and then their continued growth and maturity in a spiritual relationship with our Lord. A person could compare this to the process of gaining an education during the childhood phase of each human being, on through high school and/or college, and then move on to the next major phase of life, employment and a continued life of learning. The most important thing to our God is to get us in His family headed to His home in Heaven. He wants all to keep studying His Word, keep growing in faith and maturity in His love and the ways we show His love to our fellow man, just as His Son said upon His farewell to His beloved disciples. God bless. --Rowdy |
