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: jcsav, baptism does not save. |
Bible Note: Their is no where in Scripture where it says you are saved before you are Baptised. Jesus said, whoever believes and is baptised shall be saved. Saved is a deliverance from you sin. It have to be worked out. Repentance before Baptism, Yes. But repentance itself have nothing to do with "remission of sins" That can only mean baptism of water. Heb 9:22, "And almost all things are by the Law purged with blood and without shedding of blood there is no remission." Blood is another word for death. That have to mean the "Watery Grave." Luke 24:47, "and that repentance and remission of sins should be Preached in his name amoung all nations beginning at Jerusalem." That is what Peter did in Acts 2:38. Wouldn't it be a lot easier to obey, than try to find a way around what God have commanded us to do? There was no break in Peters chain of thought. Question your study material, but, don't change what Peter said. |
