1 | 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. |

2 | 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. |

3 | 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. |

4 | 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. |

5 | 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. |

7 | Did Jesus found the church? | Matt 16:18 | Derdan | 61247 | ||
Yes. It was His eternal purpose, Eph 3:10-11 | ||||||
8 | 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. |

11 | 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. |

12 | when is someone saved? | Rom 10:9 | Derdan | 59274 | ||
Acts 22:16 tells us that in baptism our sins are washed away? Saul of Tarsus (Paul the apostle)had asked Jesus, who met him on the road to Damascus, "What must I do" v10, and was told by Jesus that his question would be answered in Damascus. Three days later during which he was fasting and praying, Acts 9:9,11, Saul obeyed the instruction in answer to his question and was baptised, Acts 9:18. Also note that the apostle Peter told believer in Acts 2 to "repent AND be baptised everyone of you ... FOR the remission of sins" verse 38. Jesus commisioned his disciples to preach the gospel to everyone, "he that believeth AND is baptised shall be saved ..." Mark 16:15-16. There is no forgiveness of sins before baptism. |

13 | Did Noah have children after the flood? | Gen 9:1 | Derdan | 59268 | ||
There is no mention of Noah having more children after the flood. Gen 5:30 tells us that Lamech, after he begat Noah he begat sons and daughters. Gen 9:28-29 makes no mention of other sons and daughters born to Noah after the flood which suggests to me that he didn't have other children. However, if you read Gen 9:1 it says, "And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto THEM, be fruitful, and replenish the earth". Noah's sons were included in this command and we know that they had children, see Gen 10 and 11:11. |

14 | Do you have to be baptized to be saved? | 1 Pet 3:21 | Derdan | 40546 | ||
YES. There are nine examples of conversions in the book of Acts of the Apostles and in every one of them baptism is mentioned. They are as follows 1. Pentecost Acts 2:37-41 2. Samaritans Acts 8:5-13 3. Ethiopian treasurer Acts 8:26-39 4. Cornelius (and household) Acts 10:48(see11:14) 5. Lydia (and household) Acts 16:11-15 6. Philippian Jailor(and household)Acts 16:30-34 7. Corinthians Acts 18:8 8. Ephesians Acts 19:1-7 9. Saul of Tarsus (Paul the apostle) Acts 9:1-9; note verse 18; Acts 22:6-16 In many of these examples nothing is specifically mentioned about them believing or repenting, but both were equally necessary to be saved. In the above examples we will learn that to be saved it was necessary for them to HEAR the gospel, BELIEVE that Jesus is the Christ etc, to REPENT of their sins, and be BAPTISED. Jesus commissioned his apostles to go into all the world and preach the gospel to everyone, make disciples of them and baptise them, read Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-16; cp Luke 24:47. Note the question from those at Pentecost, Acts 2:37; and Saul (Paul) Acts 22:10. "What must we (I) do?". God has done everything possible for our salvation through Jesus, but to accept His gift of salvation man has to do his part. Saul was told to go into the city of DAmascus to hear what he had to do. Ananias told him to arise and be baptised, and wash away your sins, calling on His name, Acts 22:16. The gospel needs to be obeyed if we are to be saved, see 2 Thess 1:5-10, nb verse 8. 1 Peter 4:17-19 "What will be the out come of those who for those who DO NOT OBEY the gospel of God" In his book "The Normal Christian Birth", David Pawson makes this statement about Act 2:38. "Peter believes that water baptism will effect the cleansing. For him, as for the other apostles, the washing of the body and the cleansing of the conscience were the outside and inside of the same event, the external act causing the internal change. Their understanding was 'sacramental' rather than 'symbolic'. To put it quite starkly, Peter would have been surprised if someone had asked if they could have forgiveness of sins without being baptised; he would probably have questioned the sincerity of their profession of repentance and faith" It never ceases to amaze me that a person is willing to believe in Jesus, repent of their sins, confess Him before others, yet find baptism some how unacceptable. Read again the words of Jesus in Mark 16:16. "He who has believed AND has been baptised SHALL be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned" Notice that Jesus links believing and being baptised together before they are saved. In the second part of the verse we learn the obvious, that those who do not believe will be condemned. We need to believe in order to be saved,but faith only will not justify (or save0 us on its own, repentance and baptism are just as necessary, see James 2:26 "that a man is justified by works and NOT by Faith Alone". Peter on the day of Pentecost in answer to the question of the those who now believed that Jesus was "both Lord and Christ" Acts 2;37 told them to "Repent, AND each of you be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ FOR the forgiveness of your sins ..." v38 They were already believers, but it was necessary thst they repent, and are baptised to receive (they had not yet obtained it) forgiveness of sins I hope this study of this question will help us see the need to be baptised, before we can lay hold of the gift of eternal life. |
