Subject: Question for Church of Christ. |
Bible Note: I said obedience validates salvation. Whether or not YOU want to obey is between you and God. If Peter can say the words of Acts 2:28, 1 Pet. 3:21, and 2 Pet. 1:20-21, and Paul can say the words of 2 Timothy 3:16-17, I can know that to use scripture complementarily is right with God and that to remove one part of it is wrong with Him. So when Peter, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, tells me to repent AND be baptized FOR the remission of sins, it behooves me to do so. Keith |
