Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Act 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
In the book of Acts,Jews,Gentiles,and Samaritans,were all baptized in the name of Jesus,and those that were baptized unto John's baptism had to be baptized in the name of Jesus.
If they say that this is speaking of baptism in the Holy Spirit,and not water baptism,then receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit is for the forgiveness of sins,but they say that repenting of their sins,and confessing Christ is for the forgiveness of sins,but we receive the Holy Spirit because we have the forgiveness of sins,and water baptism is for the remission of sins,the washing away of sins.
In the Old Testament God said He would reveal a new name to the Jews,and speak to them,which Jesus told Philip if you have seen Me you have seen the Father,and the words that I speak are not My own,but the Father that dwells in Me,He does the works.
Jesus said He came in His Father's name.
The prophet Agur asked what is His name,and what is His Son's name,if you can tell,which means the Father and Son will share the same name.
The Son inherited the name from the Father.
The Holy Spirit comes in the name of Jesus.
Jesus is the name of the Father,Son,and Holy Ghost.
Luke said baptism is to be done in Jesus' name.
Everything we do in word and in deed is to be done in Jesus' name.
There is no other name by which we are saved but by the name of Jesus,which is the name that is above all names,not only in this world but in the world to come.
Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Plainly stated by Jesus,but people will ignore to go along with what they believe.
1Pe 3:19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
1Pe 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
1Pe 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Noah and his family were saved by water,and the like figure baptism does now save us,not the putting away of the dirtiness of the flesh as in taking a bath,but the answer of a good conscience toward God by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
It is obvious that it is speaking of water baptism,but will some people will say not,and you wonder how do they interpret scriptures,and they will go against what the word of God speaks to hold unto their denomination beliefs.
Noah and his family saved by water,the like figure even now saves us which must be water baptism,for it is speaking of water,and it is not for the removal of dirt from the body,must be water,but the answer of a good conscience toward God by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
It is obvious it is speaking of water,and people that believe faith alone,not saved by works,baptism is not necessary for salvation,they cannot abstain from sin,and sin does not affect their relationship with God,ignore scriptures,and misinterpret scriptures a lot.
They cannot deny it means water baptism,but they do it anyway,all the while they say they are chosen and elect,and look at the hypocrisy among them,but how can the chosen and elect believe in such a way as them.
God said that He wants all people to be saved,and anybody can have salvation,but they insist not so they can hold unto their beliefs.
2Ti 3:4 lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
It seems like they do not want to let go of all the ways of the flesh.
Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Rom 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Rom 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.
The man Christ Jesus is a human that died,was buried,and rose again,and we have to identify with the man Christ Jesus by repenting of our sins,dying out to sin,and being water baptized,laying down those sins,forgiveness of sins,and receiving the Holy Spirit,rising to newness of life.
The thief on the cross could not be water baptized,so baptism was bypassed,but if a person knows that it is a requirement to be water baptized,and does not do it,and ignores it,they would be accountable to it.
But they believe that God chooses who will be saved,and not saved,without their choice,so all of their belief comes from that.
They do not understand that God says He wants all people to repent,and come to the truth,and be saved,and not willing that any perish but all come be saved,and Jesus lights every person that is born in this world,so all people have the chance to see the light of Jesus,and be saved,and the Spirit and bride say Come,and anybody can have that salvation.
Do not understand that many are called but few are chosen,so God does the calling and choosing on earth.
Do not understand that the Lord knows them that are His having this seal,that everyone that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity,and awake to righteousness,and sin not,but not all have the knowledge of God,and Paul speaks that to their shame.
Do not understand that charity,love in action,is greater than faith,and faith works by love,and love is the fulfilling of the law,so if they lack in love they lack in faith,and Paul said charity does not think an evil thought,does not rejoice in iniquity,but rejoices in the truth,abstains from sin by the Spirit,is not unkind,not arrogant,not selfish,and only goes by their needs,and not their wants,and helps the poor and needy with their needs.
Do not understand faith alone,not saved by works,when we confess Christ for that is all we can do.
But when we receive the Spirit it is faith without works is dead,and a person is justified by works,and not faith alone,for the Spirit will not twist their arm to live for God,so they have a responsibility to want to do right,and want to do works of love,before the Spirit will lead them.
Do not understand when Paul is speaking of a person being of the flesh,and when they receive the Spirit and are spiritual,which when they are of the flesh,not saved by works,not saved by the law,for the flesh cannot live up to the law,but when they receive the Spirit then they have to allow the Spirit to lead them and have works of love before faith can apply in their life,and Paul said we do not void out the law through faith,but we establish the law.
They will even say that they do not have to obey Christ for salvation,but God said we have to obey the people that have authority over us in the world,such as governments,and if they do not then they are going against God for no power can rule unless God allows it,so how much more should they obey Christ,and every thought they have is to be to the obedience of Christ,so they can revenge all disobedience,when their obedience is fulfilled.
They want to hold unto their denomination beliefs that they will ignore scriptures.
