What is your point?

All scripture relating to salvation. It's all consistent. Who builds the church means what??

Depends what you're being disobedient to. If you're talking about Mark 16:15-16 specifically, and you choose to ignore it, then absolutely it negates salvation. How can it not?? Read the words. "Believeth and is baptized". Belief is conditioned by baptism and likewise baptism is conditioned by...

What I realize is that it's the word of God spoken of by Christ himself and must be obeyed. Disobey if you like at your own peril.

The word of God which is and should be our only guide. Trusting in Jesus is following and trusting in what he said to do. The below scripture in Jesus own words are pretty clear. Mark 16:15-16 15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He...

I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to say, but the bottom line is salvation doesn't occur until you've done all that's required of you, physically as well whether it serves a symbolic nature or not. The gospel is simple. It was simple in biblical times and should be as simple, it mankind...

Having a change of heart doesn't save, it's a step, step 2 towards salvation subsequent to belief. After having a change of mind and heart you must be further obedient which requires baptism for the forgiveness of your sins. Sins are NOT forgiven by belief and/or having a change of mind a d...

100% absolutely according to scripture

Your belief that you were saved before baptism is vain, it's not in accordance with scripture. Acts 2:38 very clearly tells you that. It says to repent AND be baptized: Why? For what reason? For the remission (forgiveness) of sins. So it's not until you're baptized that your sins are forgiven...

Read your first sentence. It's not possible to be "born again" before you were baptized. How can you be born again while still in sin? You may think you were, but you weren't. Totally unscriptural.

There are not numerous ways to be saved or "come to know Jesus" if you equate being saved with that. When you look at all pertinent scriptures regarding salvation, you end up with a short list if what is required to be saved. 1. Belief and faith 2. Confession of your belief 3. Repentance 4...

What is the point you're trying to make?

Confess with your mouth is what the Ethiopian eunuch did in Acts 8, meaning, he confessed his belief in Jesus as the Christ which is what Romans 10 means. Acts 8:34-38 34And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man...

No such thing as "sinners prayer" in the Bible. Its man contrived nonsense that does nothing for the one that recites it. It cannot and does not save.

Your premise is incorrect. Becoming immortal and being born again are two different things and happen at two different times: they are not synonymous terms. You become saved upon belief and baptism into the body of Christ, having been saved from your past sins. Being then faithful and remaining...

Those at Ephesus were rebaptized into Christ having only been previously baptized unto John's baptism. The baptisms are both the same by immersion in water, however, being baptized into Christ also adds you to tge body of Christ which is his church as well as gives you the gift of the Holy...

Scripture in no way supports this. Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ is water baptism as in Acts 2:38 and is clearly, VERY clearly, evidenced by other records of conversions such as the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8. Baptism is always water baptism unless otherwise stated. People like you go to...

If God knows all, which he does, would he not know all decisions you will make including those last minute ones if a spontaneous nature? If you change your mind a thousand times and ar the very last moment, would God not know that in advance of your actually doing it? The answer should be pretty...

God is all knowing, ALL, not reactive to events he doesn't know. If the scriptures indicate he reacted to something, that dies not mean he was caught off guard or surprised; the reaction recoreded is for the record as it was known in advance. It's rediculus to say or infer that there are future...

Doing the "will of the Father" is being obedient. And relative to salvation, this further means you must be obedient to the gospel. Being obedient to the gospel further infers you must DO something, that something is required of you that equates to your obedience. Hearing the gospel alone is...
