Subject: Was it complete? |
Bible Note: Just as the Lord spoke to him on the road to Damascus, the Lord told him what to DO! (Mark 16:16 is what the Lord told the apostles to tell us). Here's a thief question, why didn't the Lord save Saul right there? Why did he send him to Ananias? Why did Ananias tell Saul get up and be baptized and wash away his sins? I know you're going to say he was already (saved) but a saved person doesn't need to be baptized and wash away his sins, as did Saul. I'm glad we stop by this scripture! Here we have the Lord himself telling Saul to go hear the gospel and believe it and be baptized and wash away his sins through Ananias! This something that can't be denied, this takes care of the thief question and all other question concerning salvation. This is the Risen Christ telling someone what they MUST DO to be saved! We know Jesus could have saved Saul right there, but He sent him to Ananias a servant of his to tell Saul what he MUST DO to be SAVED! Now if Jesus told Ananias what to tell Saul, and He did! Who on this forum can say that baptism is not in God's salvation plan? Or did Ananias say anything about baptism? And if he did, what did he say, and who told him to say whatever he said? And Why? |
