No I am not saying that. I am saying that my OP says that in order to be resurrected you need to be water baptized.
“Marvel not at this: for
the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth;
they that have
done good, unto the resurrection of life;
and
they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”
John 5:28-29
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that
believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face
the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
And I
saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and
the books were opened: and
another book was opened, which is the book of life: and
the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and
death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
And
death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the
second death.
And
whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
Revelation 20:11-
everyone believer or non believer , everyone who lives and dies will be raised up in thier spiritual body. Whether good or evil to be judged according to what they did while in the earthly body
the book of life is to hear and believe the gospel
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
John 3:16 KJV
“All that the Father giveth me shall
come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not
to do mine own will, but
the will of him that sent me.
And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of
all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
And this is the will of him that sent me, that
every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”
John 6:37-40
salvation is to hear and believe the message of Jesus Christ. Baptism is an act of faith we do because we believe the message of Jesus Christ we heard in the gospel. If we actually believe what the gospel says about believers and disciples of Jesus , baptism is going to be a reaction of our belief , an act born of hearing faith
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Romans 10:17 KJV
So faith acts like this
“Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 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. 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. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.”
Acts 2:37-
Peter had convinced these men that Jesus was the messiah they had condemned and had crucified. He just had went through prophecies of the son of David who would sit forever on the throne of Gods kingdom and convinced them witnessing the resurrection written also in prophecy of Jesus
they became convinced of peters words so then faith responded “ what shall we do now ? We killed the messiah ?”
hearing of baptism meant this to them because they believed what they were told
“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.
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. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying,
Save yourselves from this untoward generation. Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.”
It seems like arguing about stuff never really changed anyone’s mind about it either way. But to me faith is when we come together believing what’s written and acting as if we do believe it .
if I were to believe baptism is about repentance and remission of sins in Jesus name because I believe he died from my sins and rose up again. And then get baptized by faith my sins are being remitted through repentance and baptism
simply doing what God said to do and receiving what God said we will receive seems To get lost on us, but it’s faith to hear what Jesus said and act on that belief.
baptism is a simple act of faith it doesn’t work if our arm is being twisted , it works because we believe what is said about it
