41 | Faith plus Baptism or Faith alone? | Matt 7:13 | sniper | 78040 | ||
Tim, Obviously, you do not kmow what I think because I do not beleieve nor have I ever tried to support that good works are the cause of salvation. However, this does not mean that God does not require works in keeping with repentance. It also does not mean that God cannot require baptism for salvation. |

42 | EIS_ retrospective or prospective? | Matt 12:41 | sniper | 78624 | ||
Wow. Is the water warm; can I join in the attack? Is it really necessary to attack the opponent rather than debate his issue? :0 :) :( |

44 | One save always saved? | John 5:24 | sniper | 78940 | ||
Jane Doe, Thank you for your thoughts, and do not be discouraged by those who will oppose you. Many will misunderstand and think that you are advocating a 'works salvation'. There are some out here who understand that it is God's grace in the form of Jesus Christ that saves a person who obeys the gospel. Keep standing for the truth and you will convince some with it. God Bless. |

45 | To be saved must we be baptised? | Acts 2:38 | sniper | 76481 | ||
Peter had just the message of Christ. The listeners were pierced to the heart (v37). In other words, they believed the message and were convicted. They did believe. Notice that Peter did not refer them to his earlier statement (v 21) that they should merely call upon the name of the Lord. He said, "Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Notice also in Acts 16 that in response to the question in verse 30 Paul said said they needed to believe, and then Paul delivered the gospel in verse 32. In immediate response to what was taught they were baptized (v 33). You'll see the same pattern throughout Acts. The Ethiopian Eunuch was immeditely baptized after hearing the Gospel. Paul relates his own conversion in Acts 22. He was told in verse 16 to not delay, but arise, and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name. Some say a "sinners prayer" is all that is necessary, but I do not find that prescription in the Bible. If I did, I would do it because that is what God asked. I must respond with faith to what is written. What is written is, if you believe, and are repentant, then be baptized for the forgiveness of sins. |

Typo-opening line. Peter had just preached the message of Christ. | ||||||
47 | Those who call shall be saved | Acts 2:38 | sniper | 77372 | ||
Yes, one must call on the name of the Lord. Peter, in his Pentecost Day sermon, quoted those words from the Old Testament. What is the Bible approved pattern for doing so? Peter's sermon pierces the listeners to the heart, and they cried out, "what shall we do?" Peter did not simply say, "I have already told you. You must call on the name of the Lord." Peter said, "Repent, and let each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." There is a particular way that God wants us to respond to Him. | ||||||
48 | Is this about water baptism at all? | Acts 2:38 | sniper | 77374 | ||
justme, If water baptism is openly confessing Christ before men, then why do we see examples of baptism when surely few or none were present? The Ethiopian Eunuch was in the middle of the desert alone with Philip. The Philippian jailor and his household were baptized immediately after hearing the message in the middle of the night. When Ananias came to Saul, who had been blind and fasting for three days, he told him to go without delay and be baptized. And, Peter in I Peter 3:21 clearly states that baptism is an appeal to God for a clean conscience - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Please do not think that I do not understand your position. I am the son of a Baptist preacher who has a 4 yr BS degree from a Baptist college. I was taught your position every which way, and I followed it for many years. God bless, sniper |

Baptism was administered whenever the individual felt comfortable or convicted enough to do so. I know of many people who waited months even years to be baptized after they claimed to have been saved. There was no urgency because they were being taught that they were already saved. They were also being taught that they needed to be baptized only to show that they had been saved. Even those who wanted to be baptized right away would either have to attend a class lasting several weeks or would have to wait unitl a baptismal service was scheduled. None of this fits the Biblical pattern, nor does it fit with Biblical reasons for baptism. | ||||||

I forgot to add that baptism was also taught as necessary for joining the church. One could be saved, but not a member of the local congregation unitl baptism. This is also wrong, since Acts 2 teaches us that God adds a person to the church when they are saved. | ||||||

I became a Christian in the dead of a northern winter. I was baptised in the swimming pool of a hotel the very hour that I decided that I wanted God to cleanse me. There is always a way to find water, and I believe that God in his providence will provide for a soul that is truly seeking. | ||||||

Flinkywood, If you will do a thorough search of all the posts on baptism, you will find that your arguments are answered Biblically and refuted. God Bless. |

53 | To be saved must we be baptised? | Acts 2:38 | sniper | 78153 | ||
Graceful, I agree with what you have written. If we believe in our hearts then we will act upon it. God will then see the works which we bring forth in keeping with repentance. This combination is true faith. Belief with out the works is only mental assent. Mental assent is believing the gospel but not committing to it. I can say I love my brother, but if I leave him to starve do I really love him? The same can be said about faith. |

54 | To be saved must we be baptised? | Acts 2:38 | sniper | 78176 | ||
James 1:22 But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. James 1:23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; James 1:24 for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. James 1:25 But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does. James 2:19 You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder. |

55 | To be saved must we be baptised? | Acts 2:38 | sniper | 78181 | ||
James 2:24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. James 1:22 But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. Rom 10:16 However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, "LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?" John 3:36 "He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." Rom 2:8 but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. Heb 5:8 Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered. Heb 5:9 And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation, 1 Pet 4:17 For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 2 Thess 1:8 dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. |

Disciplerami, That is an amazing list. 54 versions with the same translation! I was just as amazed to see the reaction to the list. One who posts here stated that the translations have failed us! Is it possible that all the scholars who translated those many versions were all wrong? God bless. |

Ray, 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, Mark 16:16 "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:41 So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls. Acts 8:36 As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch *said, "Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?" Acts 8:38 And he ordered the chariot to stop; and they both went down into the water, Philip as well as the eunuch, and he baptized him. Acts 9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he regained his sight, and he got up and was baptized; Acts 22:16 'Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.' Rom 6:3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Rom 6:4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. Gal 3:27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. Col 2:12 having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. 1 Pet 3:21 Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you--not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, God bless. |

Searcher, To borrow from Disciplerami: Greetings, The UPPERCASE letters in the following represent the strained attempts to get around water baptism. 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, [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] Mark 16:16 "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] Acts 2:41 So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls. [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] Acts 8:36 As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch *said, "Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?" [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE, oops, er, THAT'S NOT PART OF THE GOSPEL BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SAY PHILIP PREACHED BAPTISM. THE EUNUCH MAY HAVE HEARD ABOUT IT BAPTISM AT SOME OTHER TIME] Acts 8:38 And he ordered the chariot to stop; and they both went down into the water, Philip as well as the eunuch, and he baptized him. [SAME AS LAST ANSWER] Acts 9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he regained his sight, and he got up and was baptized; [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] Acts 22:16 'Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.' [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] Rom 6:3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Rom 6:4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] Gal 3:27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] Col 2:12 having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] 1 Pet 3:21 Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you--not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] God bless. |
