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: Water baptism unnecessary for conversion |
Bible Note: In my response I did not say he was saved at baptism(although that is my view). I simply stated his sins were washed away at a later time after he met Ananias and after he regained his sight. I was simply refuting your claim he was saved back when he met Jesus. Again my question was "why did he need his sins washed away if he was already saved? That's all I wanted a response to. The challenge was to show someone who was saved beyond 1 hour of his baptism. Again my point was simply his sins were washed away when he arose and called on the name(if you want to say his baptism came later fine)it still happened in conjuntion with his rising and calling, not 3 days prior on the Damascus road, which is when you claimed is when he was saved. |
