I ain't the one saying it. The bible says it! Jesus own words. Mk16:15-16 15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

You for sure certainly don't know the truth, as you continually demonstrate it by going way out of your way in feeble attempts to distort the plain, straightforward words of scripture by offering your convoluted, complicated logic as to why the aforementioned straightforward, simple words of...

Believe what you like, but one thing's for certain. You absolutely cannot be saved until you're baptized into the body of Christ. Believe it, deny it, it doesn't matter. The words of scripture are clear and what you believe won't change

Unfortunately, you are wrong. It IS the physical act of baptism. That's obedience. No different than the physical act of Naaman in 2 Kings 5 where he dipped 7 times in the filthy waters of the river Jordan as was told he must do to cleanse his leprosy. Did the act of dipping in the river 7 times...

It's truly sad you either can't read or can't understand the English language No obe ever said or claimed water immersion was akin to taking a bath to remove dirt; that's ridiculous! Nevertheless, the scripture, 1 Peter 3:21, CLEARLY, says it saves us then goes on to explain why, but it SAVES...

Nothing yo repent of. I'm simply adhering to the words of the bible which say exactly as I stated as required. Belief and faith, confession of belief as the Ethiopian eunuch did in Acts 8 and consistent with Romans 10:9-10, repentance per Acts 2:38 and baptism also per Acts 2:38 and as the Lord...

Still, faith alone doesn't save nor is God's grace applied automatically. It still requires us doing our part which involves obedience; obedience in this case snd in this era of NT salvation requires more than just faith. Belief, faith, confession of belief, repentance, and immersion into...

No questions. Scripture is clear and doesn't require man's clarification.

Peter said in his words "baptism doth now also save us". You said type.

A lot has changed as relates to God's methodology. Peter says "baptism doth also now save us". 1 Peter 3:21 21The 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...

Also, and I've written about this before, the thief was saved and forgiven by the Lord while the Lord was still alive meaning the OT was in effect; the requirement for baptism as part of salvation didn't come into play until after Jesus had died and the NT came into play. Its clear by reading...

Faith alone doesn't save you

No, none of them are

Those he foreknew; based upon God's foreknowledge. He already knows everything, including who ultimately will be saved and lost simply by his foreknowledge, so, he predestined those he knew in advance would ultimately be saved.

What is "full gospel"? How is this specifically defined?

How can you say "if water baptism---"? The bible says it does in very plain English! Acts 22:16 16And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. It's at that point that you contact the redeeming blood of Christ; were baptized into...

I understand but just thought I'd mention it since a lot of people have a misunderstanding of the thief on the cross issue and even use their misunderstanding in support of their flawed doctrines.

The thief on the cross was forgiven and saved by the Lord while Jesus was yet alive, meaning it was done under the old testament; baptism wasn't needed or required for salvation until the death of Christ when the NT came into effect. Read Hebrews 9:15-17

Doesn't matter if you agree with me, but the scriptures are a different matter. It's pretty clear where they stand, I'm simply quoting them; no need to offer explanations for them, they speak for themselves very susinctly.

And sins are forgiven at the point of baptism Acts2:38 38Then 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. Acts 22:16 16And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be...
