NASB | Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. |
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: Baptism-What Does the Bible Teach? |
Bible Note: Rowdy, It is not my attempt to argue your point on this matter. You appear to be saying something scripture doesn't say by your "better safe than sorry" approach as endorsed by our Lord with his parable about cutting off a hand or gouging out an eye". The context (in Matt 5:29-30) is dealing with personal relationships and specifically adultery. Where does Christ "endorse" this better-safe-than-sorry approach? I don't see baptism at issue here. Lastly, what of Galatians 5:2, "Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
