They know this. They certainly know this. And yet will continue their nonsense.

Water baptism is unto the remission of sins. (Acts 2:38; Acts 22:16; 1st 3:21) Water baptism is done so that we may have the remissions of sins that is received after belief/faith and repentance is expressed. (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Galatians 3:27) *Hermeneutics.

Written to Christians water baptized for the remission of sins? Yes. (Acts 2:40-41) Written to Christians water baptized for the remission of sins? Yes. (Acts 2:40-41)

It is mailmandan's willful blindness to this simple truth that forces such silly comments as; (general cases without making a qualification for the unusual case of someone who believes but is not baptized). Theology should never based on exceptions or "unusual cases". Except of course when you...

Here is the verse:Acts 10:43–47 43 To him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name. 44 While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word. 45 And the believers from among the circumcised...

Of course, that should be rather obvious. What you are doing is not harmonizing but butchering. There is no honest way to harmonize these verses into meaning water baptism is not part of the means to salvation. This is just you attempting to explain away clear scripture. The Bible is already...

And yet people like you cheapen His sacrifice everyday by insisting that obedience to His commands before salvation is works.

If belief alone was the only thing required for salvation, then we would expect Jesus to mention it in the following verses, (3:15,1618; 6:29,40,47; 11:25,26) and verses such as Acts 2:38. Acts 22:16, 1st Peter 3:21 etc. should not exist. *BELIEVES. *What happened to alone?* Hermeneutics Rule# 5...

Beckworth is quite correct about you. Your whole defense of faith alone regeneration theology is forcing "alone" into generalities and explaining away the obvious meaning of clear passages. You are only fooling those who are looking for cheap grace and not the truth.

We certainly will be judged by what Jesus says. Mark 16:16 - He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who (only believes? - NO) but he who does not believe will be condemned, because he has not (been water baptized? - NO) because he has not believed. Belief and Baptism = Salvation...

It does not. Just like he shoehorns "alone" into every verse he uses to defend his faith alone regeneration theology. He is like many of the cheap grace salvationists here. Insisting that the Bible teaches faith alone but never able to produce the scripture.

Note the word "before". :}

In regard to Acts 10:35, obeying the works of righteousness (Matthew 3:15) is the avenue to which one is saved through faith. We are not saved simply by works of faith which we have done (James 2:24) but works of God (Acts 2:38-41) in connection to this other acts of obedience. God accepts those...

We as individuals can make no such claim!

Well stated.

If these verses are not in need of "additions or modifications" then comments such as (rightly understood) would not be needed. This is not hard to understand. It's just hard for cheap grace salvationists to ACCEPT. Faith without obedience is dead. Believing you are saved because you claim to...

No man knows his fate nor his heart. The Lamb's Book of Life has not been opened. The God of the Bible is a merciful one. I believe that eternal life awaits me but I still work out my salvation with fear and trembling. There is no reward for living a reckless life regardless of where you...

What does this have to do with (if anything) the question? Are you truly that deep in the ditch as to ignore such a simple question?

To all those insisting that the term "Saved by faith" holds the same meaning as "Saved by faith alone", could someone insist that "He went to the store" holds the same meaning as "He went to the store alone"? Lets be honest.
