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: Those who call shall be saved |
Bible Note: WELLGLORY, God's day to you and welcome to the forum. You said it well "call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Act 2:21, 16:31, Rom 10:9, 13-15a). There will be some who will say baptism is needed for salvation ... but they refuse to see what the Greek says, as well as the context. See Titus 3:5 about one's sins are washed away, as well as other Scripture (Psa 51:2, 1 Cor 6:11, Eph 5:26, Heb 10:22). How could water wash sins if water, which is physical, could only touch man's flesh and not his spirit, that is intangible? There are a few verses that show inward grace is all that is needed (Rom 2:28-29, Eph 2:8-9, Php 3:4-9). Searcher |
