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: Are we presenting the gospel scripturaly |
Bible Note: Actually the Greek in Eph 2:8-9 says "the faith" not just faith. Like in Jude 3 where it reads "Contend earnestly for the faith" refferring to the system of belief known as the gospel. Secondly, the context of 1Peter 3:21 is plainly salvation through water. As Noah was saved by the flood so we are saved by baptism. I really do not know how the Scripture could word it more plainly. Also James quite plainly says we are not saved by faiyh alone James 2:24. |
