I understand her point about time, but my point is from the time Saul heard the gospel to the time he was baptized was the same hour. Yes he met the Lord three day earlyer, but my point was all those who believed after they heard the gospel were baptized the same hour! What I first stated my question it was show me someone who believed the gospel and was not baptized in the same hour? | ||||||

Third, the Gentile officer was aware that saving truth was embodied in an objective revelation which would issue from a man who had been appointed by God to instruct him. The group therefore was assembled to “hear” the things, i.e., “words,” (cf. 11:14) to be spoken by Peter. Cornelius knew he had received no special message from the angel, detailing the content of what he must do in order to enjoy salvation. He did not surmise that he could capture “spiritual vibes” from the atmosphere in some esoteric fashion. He did not subscribe to the view that he could merely follow the inclinations of his conscience and all would be right (cf. Pr. 14:12; Acts 23:1). This is a powerful truth that legions today, who are searching for answers in every place but the right one, need to learn. Fourth, this centurion acknowledged the sovereignty of Almighty God. He confessed that the Lord had “commanded” certain things to which human beings were amenable, and he was anxious to humbly submit. There are several interesting matters here. 1. “Commanded” translates the Greek term prostasso, literally “to arrange toward,” hence denotes to prescribe, order, or command something (Arndt, 725). In the Greek papyri it is used to depict a decree issued by a sovereign ruler (Moulton , Milligan, 551). 2. The verb is a passive voice form, suggesting that God is the giver of commands, and we humans are the receivers. We are not allowed in the driver’s seat! 3. The term is in the perfect tense, reflecting an action that has occurred already, but the results are abiding. The effect here is this: God had commanded, and his will was to remain inviolate. There would be no disputing it. This was truly an amazing concept for this Gentile to have perceived. Earlier, even Peter had said: “Not so, Lord” (14). Fifth, Cornelius recognized that he could not selectively obey the Lord. “All” was the goal. He said they were present to receive “all things” the Lord had commanded Peter to convey. How many there are today who would be so happy if only God allowed them “multiple choice” obedience. They would gladly believe if only they could dispense with baptism (Mk. 16:16), or else they would be immersed if only they did not have to repent (Acts 2:38). Initially, Naaman the Assyrian was not terribly disturbed about dipping in a river for cleansing from his leprosy, he just faulted the Lord’s location of the ceremony (2 Kgs. 5:12). He needed to learn that deliberate, partial obedience is no obedience! Sixth, the centurion conceded the authority of Peter, an apostle, as a spokesman for deity. He suggested that he and his family were there to hear from Peter the things that God commanded his apostle to tell them. Peter’s words would carry as much weight as if the Lord had spoken to them personally. There are those who labor under the illusion that the “words in red,” in some editions of the Gospel accounts, are of greater significance than what Peter or Paul wrote. I actually have heard members of the church state that they did not agree with Paul on some issues. Such a reckless expression of disrespect! It was no less a person than the Savior himself who said: “He who hears you [apostles] hears me; and he who rejects you [apostles] rejects me; and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me” (Lk. 10:16). Paul declared that the things he wrote represented the “commandment of the Lord” (1 Cor. 14:37). Cornelius’ understanding and disposition, as reflected in this solitary sentence, is stunning indeed. It truly reveals something of the depth of his soul. Are we willing to listen as he teaches us? |

You say three days, I say one hour! And it started when Ananias went in the house. Let's look at the text: Acts 9:6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord (what wilt thou have me to do)? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, (and it shall be told thee what thou MUST do). The Lord himself told him that he had to obey what Ananias told him he MUST do the same hour! vs17-18; Acts22:10, Jesus told him what he Must do. Acts22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. Paul himself said he was told to be baptized and wash away his sins. Is there any importants to him be baptized? Was his sins gone prior to him being told to have them washed away? Did Ananias tell him what Jesus said for him to do or did he make it up himself? In Acts 22:16 tells me that Jesus meant what he said in Mark 16:16, Baptism is very important to him! In Matt 21:23-27 I believe this answers the question on the latter part of Mark 16:16, vs24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things. vs.25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, FROM HEAVEN; He will say unto us (Why did ye not then believe him?) This verse shows "but he that believeth not shall be damned" Mark 16:16b. Luke 7:29-30 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, JUSTIFIED God, being BAPTIZED with the baptism of John. (Jesus is Greater than John)! vs.30 But the Pharisees and lawyers REJECTED THE COUNSEL OF GOD, AGAINST THEMSELVES, BEING (NOT BAPTIZED OF HIM). We know this is the baptism of repentance, unto the remission of sins. But Mark 16:16 is the Great Commission of Jesus Christ. Now we can see clearly what Jesus is telling men and women to do in this verse, those who will not believe of corse will not be baptized. Belief is connected with being baptized and that cannot be denied! Matt 21:25; Luke 7:29-30. |

It is saying that the promised seed would come through Abraham, and that is Christ vs 16 15.Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covernant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. 16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is (Christ). 17 And this I say, that the covernant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. simply put it saying nothing would stop Christ from coming into the world, because God promise it would happen! |

"If baptism is not a 'work', then I guess we don't need to 'do' it"! :-) It's a command! From Jesus himself! In Luke 7:30 It says that the Pharisees and lawyers, rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being "not baptized of him. (John) If John's baptism was the counsel of God then what was Jesus baptism in Mark 16:16;Acts2:38; is it the counsel of God also, can we reject it or say it's not necessary for salvation if God commanded us to be baptized? |

"I know many people who are "completely saved" by their faith in Jesus Christ who have yet to enter the waters of baptism for one reason or another. I KNOW that I will see them in heaven whether or not they have been immersed before their physical death or the Rapture of the church". IS THAT RIGHT, SHOW US IN THE BOOK OF ACTS WHERE SOMEONE WENT MORE THAN ONE HOUR AFTER BELIEVING THE WORD, AND WAS NOT BAPTIZED! JUST ONE PERSON! HEB 9:15-17 IS WHEN THE LAW OF CHRIST WAS IN AFFECT. |

AGAIN, DON'T MISUNDERSTAND ME, I HAVE NOT SAID AND WILL NEVER SAY THAT BAPTISM ALONE SAVES ANYONE! I HAVE TAUGHT AND HAVE BEEN TAUGHT THAT ALL OF WHAT WE DO IN CHRIST IS (THROUGH "FAITH") AND THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES!! YOU AND THOSE WHO BELIEVE LIKE YOU REFER TO THE THIEF! FOR A CLEARER UNDERSTANDING, SHOW US WHAT THE APOSTLES TOLD THE PEOPLE AFTER THE RESURRECTION, THE LAW OF CHRIST WAS NOT IN AFFECT UNTIL AFTER THE RESURRECTION! HEB9:16-17 FOR WHERE A TESTAMENT IS, THERE MUST ALSO OF "NECESSITY" BE THE DEATH OF THE TESTATOR. 17 FOR A TESTAMENT IS OF FORCE "AFTER" MEN ARE (DEAD): OTHERWISE (IT IS OF NO STRENGTH AT "ALL" WHILE THE TESTATOR LIVETH). Now what is the writer saying HERE? That the thief recieved his blessing before the LAW OF CHRIST WAS IN FORCE! So when you are remembering the thief, remember also the TESTATOR JESUS CHRIST HAD NOT DIED FOR OUR SINS WHEN HE BLESSED THE THIEF; AND HE HAD NOT YET BEEN RAISED FROM THE DEAD: HIS LAW TO THOSE WHO WOULD LIVE AFTER HIS RESURRECTION WAS NOT IN AFFECT UNTIL HE WENT BACK TO HEAVEN!!!! |

You said in your answer that Christians "get into Christ" "by faith". But vs27 says "For as many of you as have been BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST have PUT ON CHRIST you can't change that! It clearly says the Galatians were BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST! UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM SAYING HERE TO YOU AND ALL THAT WILL READ THIS INFORMATION. ALL OF THIS IS DONE THROUGH "FAITH" ROMANS 10:17 WE GET FAITH BY HEARING; THROUGH FAITH WE REPENT;LUKE 13:3 THROUGH FAITH WE CONFESS THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST;MATT 10:32 THROUGH FAITH WE ARE BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST!!! GAL 3:27 WE WALK IN THE NEWNESS OF LIFE UNTIL DEATH.ROM 6:3-5 Your statement is wrong! "4. We are sons and heirs according to the PROMISE God made to Abraham. Abraham was declared rightous for believing God. The Israelites were declared rightous not by following the Law of Moses, but by believing God. No other conditions were added to the Abrahamic Covenant. Therefore, the elect of Israel "got into Christ" by faith in God's redemption, and the Law was not another condition. Christians "get into Christ" by faith, NOT works, and baptism and the Lord's Supper are not conditions or means to becoming part of the Abrahamic Covenant". Paul knew who he was talking to, they did not have a problem with baptism, they had a problem with the Jewish believers teaching that salvation came through the Law of Moses. Two things you are in error about! 1. We are NOT under any Abrahamic Covenant, We are under the Covenant of Jesus Christ Only! Heb8:13;9:14-17. 2. vs27 says WE GET INTO CHRIST BY BEING BAPTIZED INTO HIM, AND WE PUT HIM ON ALSO! You will not understand Gal.3:15-17 if you will not read it to the end of the chapter! Acts 22:16 Paul was told to arise, and be baptized, and wash away his sins calling on the name of the Lord. Did Luke make a mistake here when he connected baptism with washing away Paul's sins? COL2:13 GOD OPERATES ON THOSE WHO SUBMIT TO BAPTISM. BAPTISM IS CONNECTED WITH SALVATION BY WHO? GOD, CHRIST, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT!!! Remember I am not the one who wrote this in God's word, the Holy Spirit gave it to the apostles and others! Jesus said in John 12:48-50 HE THAT REJECTETH ME, AND RECIEVETH NOT MY "WORD" HATH ONE THAT JUDGETH HIM: THE WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN, THE SAME SHALL JUDGE HIM IN THE LAST DAY. FOR I HAVE NOT SPOKEN OF MYSELF; BUT THE FATHER WHICH SENT ME, HE GAVE ME A "COMMANDMENT", WHAT I SHOULD SAY, AND WHAT I SHOULD SPEAK. AND I KNOW THAT HIS "COMMANDMENT IS LIFE EVERLASTING:" WHATSOEVER I SPEAK THEREFORE, EVEN AS THE FATHER SAID UNTO ME, SO I SPEAK!!!! MARK 16:16 HE THAT BELIEVETH AND IS BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED; BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT SHALL BE DAMNED. |

2) "Yes they could have, just as we can refuse to obey any of God's commands as Christians. But, why would they, or we, want to disobey Christ?" When you teach, do you teach Mark 16:16? I would just like to take the time and deal with your number 2 answer: Was Mark 16:16 written for believers or nonbelievers? Jesus commissioned the apostles to GO preach to nonbelievers or believers? So the nonbeliever who believes and is baptized shall be saved! "4) Because baptism is commanded by Christ for believers, Peter also commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus." The aorist participle 'never' indicates action which is subsequent to the main verb, neither believing nor being baptized occurs after one is saved: But both occur Before one is saved. Can you show in the book of Acts where someone was converted and was not baptized? Acts 10 is when God open the door to the Lord's church to the Gentiles, Acts 11:18. This showed that the gospel was preached to the gentile also, and that the jews had to accept them. Being baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus, in water is what put them in Christ. Gal 3:26,27. When the gospel was preached in the book of Acts all who recieved it were baptized for the remission of sins Acts 2:38;22:16. |

God is the one who allowed the apostles to lay hands on people to recieve the Holy Spirit, the reciever had no power to lay hands on anyone else. Without laying on of hands happened only twice, the day of Pentecost,and the house of Cornelius! The house of Cornelius is when the gentiles recieved the grace of God. Today no one has that power! And those who teach other wise are wrong in doing so. |

My friend Tim Moran, You have now made one step closer to the truth in you statement: "Concerning 1 Pe. 3:19-21, I agree with you that baptism is a type " 1Peter 3:19-21 Shows us where baptism works, by faith on our conscience! again it's not a bath, we are to submit to it by faith in Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, as in Acts 2:38;22:16 " to wash away our sins" That's what God commanded, through Jesus Christ! |

My friend 2nd Samuel 22, agree to disagree is not the answer: For you and other who don't believe what Jesus in Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved: But he that believeth not shall be damned. will still read the same way even when were gone! Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. Will you also take this verse and say it doesn't mean what it says? Paul understood the he was told to do, he was told to be baptized, and wash away his sins. Did Ananias lie to him about baptism? Why didn,t Paul correct Ananias, and tell him that baptism has nothing to do with his salvation, it's just an outward showing of an inward thing! Paul knew what it was about and he submitted to it. |
