Subject: What does water baptism do? |
Bible Note: This is what I learned from you and your (faith only) group, you say that salvation is by (faith only), but yet you won't use (faith only) in what Jesus says for you to be saved, John 5:38-47, vs.47 "But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? The words of Jesus are very important to our salvation, but yet you all don't believe what he has to say on the subject of baptism for the remission of sins. John 8:31-32 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciple indeed: 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Here are some Jews with (faith only) but they were told by Jesus, that they must continue in his words, and that if they did they would know the truth, and the truth would make them free. It takes strong faith in what the bible saids, to be saved, but the (faith only) folks only believe certain things in the bible. When I first signed on to this forum, I stated what I believe the bible teaches on the subject of salvation, and I was attacted, and was accused of salvation by "works" doctrine, but all I stated was what the bible says, Mark 16:16, Matt 28:19, Luke 24:47, Acts 2:38, Acts 8:37-38, Acts 22:16, Romans 6:3,4 etc. Salvation comes through believing what Jesus tells us to do. John 8:47 Jesus said, He that is of God heareth God's WORDS: ye therefore HEAR THEM NOT, BECAUSE YE ARE NOT OF GOD! John 10:1-5 Jesus says you must come through the door, vs 7 He saids I am the door, He's the one who said we must be baptized for the remission of our sins, but the (faith only) folks say no, no, no; baptism is not necessary for salvation, and of course these are the words of men! Now who will you believe? Jesus or the (faith only) folks? Now hear the words of Jesus, in John 12:47-50, AND "IF" any MAN HEAR "MY" "WORDS" and "BELIEVE NOT" (THE FAITH ONLY FOLKS) I JUDGE HIM NOT: FOR I CAME NOT TO JUDGE THE WORLD, BUT TO "SAVE" THE WORLD. 48 "HE THAT "REJECTETH ME" AND "RECEIVETH NOT MY WORDS": (Now what do you all say about Mark 16:16, not inspired, is that rejection or Not). HATH ONE THAT JUDGETH HIM: "THE WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN, THE SAME SHALL JUDGE HIM IN THE LAST DAY. Mark 16:16 was spoken by Jesus but you all REJECT IT; for (FAITH ONLY) and with pride and a smile you tell all on this forum that Jesus's word means NOTHING TO YOU! and that you are GLAD THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH "LOOPS AND HOOPS" to be SAVED. 49 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. Mark 16:16 He that believeth AND IS BAPTIZED, SHALL BE SAVED, BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT (FAITH ONLY FOLKS) SHALL BE DAMNED. 50 AND I KNOW THAT HIS COMMANDMENT IS LIFE EVERLASTING: WHATSOEVER I SPEAK THEREFORE, (MARK 16:16) EVEN AS THE FATHER SAID UNTO ME, SO I SPEAK. You might say that I am being rude, for shouting, but I tried to be nice about this, but it's called "blindness" by those who respond. |
