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: Good point. Works are not a bad word. It only becomes bad when someone is doing them with the Pharisaical attitude in mind, 'what a good boy am I.' Those who are on the other side of this debate will reply that the good 'works' you are describing are done by God. It sounds a little strange when the Bible tells us to 'WORK OUT YOUR SALVATION WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING.' They always quote the next verse but their interpretation of it negates this verse. Nice hearing from you. God bless, Disciplerami |
