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: The definition of arrogance: "Since God resist arrogance they probably never will come to the knowledge of the truth because they are still depending on their doing something no matter how much they use the name of Jesus and falsely claim they are trusting in him." Tim, Does reading CDBJ affirmation make you feel better? CDBJ, you err by blaming God for such things: "Until the Father reveals truth to them we are like beating our heads on a brick wall." Do you really mean to suggest that a loving God would willfully withhold the saving truth from someone? CDBJ says that salvation is 100 percent a work of God. But he then contradicts himself by saying man's part: "you must believe, you must exercise faith in Christ for salvation." By the sound of this, I think CDBJ has to take some of the credit for his salvation! Don't you? He obviously is not a purist of the second paradigm. CDBJ has left out the third and correct pardigm: Grace through obedient faith (Romans 1:5:16:26; 1 Thess 1:3). Good day, Disciplerami |
