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: Could this be right? |
Bible Note: Greetings, Why would an apostle who is called to "bring about the obedience of faith" be afraid to talk about the necessity of the obedience of baptism? That makes no sense. You think that because Paul teaches against justification by works that he can't preach the necessity of baptism? Baptism isn't contrary to his Galatian message as long as the baptized understand they are saved by the blood of Christ. You know my position. Good day, Disciplerami |
