AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Peter 3:21 Corresponding to that [rescue through the flood], baptism [which is an expression of a believer's new life in Christ] now saves you, not by removing dirt from the body, but by an appeal to God for a good (clear) conscience, [demonstrating what you believe to be yours] through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, |

Bible Note: We are not saved by faith alone Titus just says according to his mercy he saved us not FAITH ALONE. Acts 2:38 is repentance baptism in JESUS name and infilling of the Holy Ghost, but not FAITH ALONE. Romans 10:13-15 merely states that we have to believe in Jesus, If we do we will search out the truth, but it still does not say that we are saved by FAITH ALONE Acts 2:21 says call on him it does not say that we are saved by FAITH ALONE. Acts 16:31 once again if you believe in Jesus he will show you the truth. There is a difference between belief and faith. REGARDLESS of what is said in this forum I can believe you without trusting you. Faith is BLIND TRUST. But I cant trust you and not believe you. There is a big difference between faith and trust. But it seems to me that only people full of the spirit know the difference. Ephesians 2:8-9 says we are saved by Grace through faith. So once again I am going to say it does not say FAITH ALONE. And Lastly but not least Romans 3:28 We are JUSTIFIED by faith not saved by it. So, Now that we have cleared that up ONCE AGAIN. We are saved because Jesus died for us, but we are not saved by faith alone. You guys say belief and faith are the same well then Jesus said he that believeth and is baptized. So Jesus said belief was not enough. And in your Romans 3:28, Did you read Romans 3:24? It says that we are Justified by grace. Interestingly enough. We are not saved by faith alone. There is no scripture that says that in the bible. Faith is a part of salvation, because if I don't trust God then How could he save me? But it is not what saves us. |
