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: Jesus' name baptism? |
Bible Note: Joe, thank you for pointing out once again the oft-forgotten and oft-misunderstood truth that Jesus' atoning work on the cross is all encompassing. The pesty and error-ridden notion prevails still that the blood of the cross is somehow confined to the forgiveness of future sins of mankind and excludes sins of ages past. How frequently one hears preached as biblical doctrine that works saved under the Law; and even the spill-over doctrine that works continue to be a salvific "boost" to salvation by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus. Neither doctrine has any scriptural support, of course, but in these loosey-goosey days of emancipation from the shackles imposed by sola scriptura, who needs Scripture to support their theological blunders? :-) --Hank |
