Bible Note: Bible faith is shown by our obedience to God's word, Jesus said if you love me keep my commandments.He gave the instrutions it is not our option to dispute what scripture shows. John the Baptist was the fore runner of Christ, he prepared the way for Jesus 1:77 "To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins," he preached the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins (Luke 3:3). When Peter was asked on the day of pentecost what they (those that believed Peter's message) needed do he told them to repent,to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and they would receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (the promise). It is all about faith, Jesus said he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, without faith followed by repentance baptism is nothing, with faith followed by repentance, baptism is the next step to remit (send away) sin. 1 Peter 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:, he compared Noah and his family being saved by water, which took obedience to God's word and following God's instructions.
