Obedience Required?

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭5:24‬ ‭

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28:18-20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“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

“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.

And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. praising God, and having favour with all the people.

…And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭2:37-42, 47‬ ‭KJV‬‬

hearing of faith hearing believing and acting upon that true belief

“This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3:2‬ ‭

“He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3:5‬ ‭

There’s a flood coming , build an ark and be saved this is how to do it “ I believe and yes I will and yes I will be saved “

stretch out your hand and darkness will be upon the land three days Moses
“ I believe and yes I will and yes it will happen “

repent and be baptized for remission of sins in his name and you shall receive the gift of the holy ghost , “ I believe that and yes I will and yes I will receive the gift of remission of sins and the Holy Spirit will come into my heart “

faith hears what Gods saying d takes it as the truth the rest is just a response to that bekng authentic a tree with roots is a tree with fruits

That's what saved people are supposed to do since John the Baptist and the Lord's example.
Forsake yes not the assembling of yourselves as the manner of some is...
is another of many commands that God's children should do, but that was not a command for the salvation of the lost or for those who are saved to maintain their salvation.

he tells then about baptism for remission of sins

then says this

“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 ‭2:40-

they acted upon what they heard we could agree that something is true but those who act upon what is true re the ones who will benefit

we could all have the directions to a “wedding party “ written down but it’s only those who get dressed and follow the directions thy at arrive at the party the others are just choosing not to go

I don't know why obedience wouldn't be required. He didn't give us suggestions but commandments.

God is no respecter of persons. All will hear and must make their own choice whether to accept or reject the written word. Jesus made this point in John 12:48:

"He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day."

The unregenerate person will not obey a spiritual command from a spiritual God. 1 Cor 2:14 says that the unregenerate person cannot discern the things of the Spirit, and thinks them to be foolishness. Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

Do you agree that the scripture below makes the point that God gives the Holy Ghost to those who obey Him?

"And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him." Acts 5:32

Before a person has been born again they have a carnal mind.(1 Cor 2:14). Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God; neither indeed can be.(Rom 8:7).

What I'm asking is what leads one to believe. Is it your faith or Jesus ' faith? Is salvation a gift? Is grace a gift? Is faith a gift? If so, why do you add works?

The group asked what was required of them. (Acts 2:36-37) If nothing but belief in Jesus' death, burial and resurrection was required Peter would have said so. He did not.

Peter stated that those present were to repent, and everyone of them was to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (water) and that they, too, would receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. The promise pertained to all those the Lord would call. (meaning all future generations) See Acts 2:41, it was only after believing Peter and obeying the commands that they were converted. "Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls."

I am saying receiving the Holy Ghost is a necessary part of one's spiritual rebirth. Without the indwelling of the Holy Ghost a person is not a child of God. This is reflected in Paul's comment, "But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." Rom. 8:9

I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. Can you answer this one: do you believe the Holy Spirit takes up residence in the believer before or after he or she believes?

No one is saved without first repenting, having their sins washed away in obedience to God's command to submit to water baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus and being indwelt with the Holy Ghost. Obedience to this is what brings about the reality of being born again. Afterward the born again child of God is to pursue a Godly lifestyle.

God calls all to repentance. It is after believing and accepting God's command to submit to water baptism and being filled with the Holy Ghost that one's spiritual eyes are open.

Paul answered that with his question to the Ephesus disciples; Have you received the Holy Ghost SINCE you believed? (Acts 19:1-6) Also, the Samaritans believed and did not receive the Holy Ghost until days later. (Acts 8:12-18)

Again thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.

So you think we need to...
1. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved".
2. Believe on " washed their stripes". AND
3. Believe on "baptized, he and all his, straightway"

Do the lost receive the Holy Ghost or the saved?

So you believe that their souls were saved eternally by themselves?

Am I supposed to take your word for this, instead of basing it on what the scriptures say?
