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: Hi Steve, Your answer falls a little short. What would they 'believe' if Paul and Silas didn't then "speak the word of the Lord to him together with all who were in his house"? What they believed was the Gospel. Part of preaching Jesus is preaching Baptism (Acts 8:35,36). That is why they did not wait three months to go get baptized, they immediately went the very same hour (past midnight, 16:25). Q: Was the jailer saved when he believed? A: Yes. Q: When he believed what? A: What Peter preached to him and the rest. Q: When was he saved? A: When he obeyed in baptism. Good day to you, Disciplerami |
