AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 2:38 And Peter said to them, "Repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways, accept and follow Jesus as the Messiah] and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ because of the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. |
Subject: To be saved must we be baptised? |
Bible Note: Greetings Disciplerami! My friend, you call it a strawman, but is it really? The Judaizers taught that one must have faith and be circumsized to be saved. How is this different from what you are saying? You believe that one must have faith and be baptized. You take plain statements of Scripture which say that we are not saved by works and interpret them as meaning 'not only by works'. I am at a complete loss why you don't see this my friend! None of these verses say, not only by works! They say, not by works. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
