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: I wonder if the question/adversity here is the defining of the word 'works'. Jesus said that the works He did, greater works would we do... So 'works' is not a bad word. The problem I see is when one believes the works are the WAGES of salvation rather than the RESPONESE of a changed heart. Believers are to work the works of God by faith in God to produce the desired results..ie souls born into the kingdom, delivered from the authority of darkness. God bless! |
