And I have asked the oneness lot to post it and never had a response
I don’t think anyone’s said “ baptism is what saves “ I think this is the idea regarding his name and baptism without adding anything we can see there’s most definately something to it ….
jesus said
“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
So already we see jesus has tied baptism to salvation for believers of the gospel.
Peters first sermon filled with the Holy Ghost ends here
“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.”
Acts 2:38-39
But why Jesus name for remission of our sins ?
“And she shall bring forth
a son, and
thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.”
Matthew 1:21 KJV
“And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that
it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. To him give
all the prophets witness, that
through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.”
Acts 10:42-43
“But
as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:”
John 1:12
“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that
Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;”
1 Corinthians 15:3 KJV
“Know ye not, that
so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ
were baptized into his death? 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.”
Romans 6:3-4
“Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through
this man( the son Jesus ) is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: and
by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.”
Acts 13:38-39 KJV
“But
when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning
the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.”
Acts 8:12 KJV
I think the question is why would we remove parts of doctrine that are clearly there and argue “ baptism isn’t what’s saved “ the point isn’t that baptism is the thing that saves anyone but it’s what God gave us for remission of sins because we believe in Jesus
it’s like saying I believe in Jesus so I reject the doctrine they all taught things like baptism for remission of sins are what Jesus and his apostles taught the church to believe and do . No one has said baotism saves you only get baptized because you believe Jesus died for your sins and rose again ….tbat faith saves
