On the judgement day, it is Our Lord Jesus who made the basis of salvation to the sheep.
He did not mentioned another basis but this.

Can we stick on his basis?
MATTHEW 25:33-40
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

We must obey them completely because if it is not complete, it is nothing.
This is Our Lord Jesus taught to James and he wrote it for us.
JAMES 2:10
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

Let me repeat what Our Lord Jesus said.
He never mentioned another basis of salvation but what is in
Matthew 25:35&36
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

Man has always choice:
1. Ignore it and stick to other basis of salvation.
2. Beg and ask for God's Mercy to reveal the meaning of Matthew 25:35-36 as God is Speaking in Parables (Psalms 78:2 & Ezekiel 20:49).

Because we can only follow the law when God the Father reveal the meaning of words from God's words to Man's words. As Our Lord Jesus did in the word Temple (John 2:19-21)
 
Your biased interpretation of both verses may harmonize with your eisegesis but not with the rest of scripture. To automatically read "baptism" into John 3:5 simply because it mentions "water" is unwarranted.

Jesus mentions "living water" in (John 4:10, 14; 7:37-39) and connects it with everlasting life. In John 7:38-39, we read - "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. But this He spoke concerning the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the source of living water and spiritual cleansing. If "water" is arbitrarily defined as baptism, then we could just as justifiably say, "Out of his heart will flow rivers of living baptism" in John 7:38. If that sounds ridiculous, it is no more so than the idea that water baptism is the source or the means of becoming born again.

Water is also used in the Bible as an emblem of the word of God and in such is associated with cleansing or washing. (John 15:3; Ephesians 5:26) Clean because of the word/washing of water by the word. When we are born again, the Holy Spirit begets new life, divine life, so that we are said to become "partakers of the divine nature." (2 Peter 1:4) The new birth is brought to pass through "incorruptible seed, by the word of God, which lives and abides forever" (I Peter 1:23) and the Holy Spirit accomplishes the washing of regeneration. (Titus 3:5)

Tell me WHAT DID I INTERPRET?

What words did I USE to explain what Acts 2:38 said.

I see YOU AND ALL OF YOUR WISDOM dancing around it and trying to get away from it.

Satan's plan, keep them out of the water and if they get in the water keep JESUS name out of it.
 
Tell me WHAT DID I INTERPRET?

What words did I USE to explain what Acts 2:38 said.
You have already said multiple times before that baptism is for remission of sins/the cause of getting rid of our sins. It's painfully obvious that you believe water baptism is done "in order to obtain" remission of sins. You seem to have more faith in H20 to take care of your sin problem than you do in the blood of Jesus Christ. (Romans 3:22-26; Ephesians 1:7; Colossians 1:14, 20; Revelation 1:5)

I see YOU AND ALL OF YOUR WISDOM dancing around it and trying to get away from it.
I'm neither dancing around it nor trying to get away from it. I delt with it head on. Yet you need to dance around and get away from (Luke 24:47; Acts 3:19; 5:31; 10:43-47; 11:17,18; 13:38-39; 15:7-9; 20:21; 26:18) in order to accommodate your eisegesis. It's not about what man's wisdom teaches but which the HOLY SPIRIT TEACHES, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. (1 Corinthians 2:13)

Satan's plan, keep them out of the water and if they get in the water keep JESUS name out of it.
Satan's plan is to get you to believe that lie and keep you in unbelief. The phrase, “in the name of Jesus Christ,” is not a reference to a rigid salvational baptismal formula but a reference to authority. You and your Oneness Pentecostal cousins are simply in error by demanding that baptism be done with the formula "In Jesus’ name" only. Instead, it should be done as Jesus commanded: "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." (Matthew 28:19). The proper way to baptize by the authority of Jesus is to baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Satan's plan is to keep the minds of people blinded so that they do not believe the gospel. 2 Corinthians 4:3 - But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

THAT IS WHAT I SAID, I AGREE.

Acts 2:38-39 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.

39 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 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

As you can see I DIDN'T INTERPRET IT I REPEATED IT.

This is why I DON'T INTERPRET.

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

SO WHY DO YOU SAY I INTERPRETED IT?????

Why did JESUS disciple always baptized in JESUS name? AND NEVER in HIS TITLES?

So, you don't interpret and you don't properly harmonize scripture with scripture before reaching your conclusion on doctrine? (Luke 24:47; Acts 3:19; 5:31; 10:43-47; 11:17,18; 13:38-39; 15:7-9; 20:21; 26:18) So, you are just fine with contradictions in scripture and insist on reading those verses at face value and you ignore the change of number from plural to singular and of person from second to third in Acts 2:38, a change which marks a break in the thought here that the English translation does not preserve.

As for Acts 22:16, baptism here pictures the washing away of sins by the blood of Christ. Now calling on His name is a crucial element, signifying faith in Christ and serving as a public declaration of faith.

LOL, you say I'm interpreting but you agree I'm just repeating HIS word.

But YOUR NOT interpreting HIS word but harmonizing it.

And doing so your right, but me repeating HIS word, WORD FOR WORD is wrong is that right?

When you share HIS word am I suppose to read it for what it says?

SO SOME SCRIPTURE IS THE TRUTH AND OTHERS ARE NOT!

The ones I SHARE are not, the ones you share are. Got it LOL.

Is Act 2:38 and Acts 22:16 the only ones that need your magic harmonizing?

I interpret His word in harmony. ALL scripture is a truth and there are no contradictions in God's word. There are more verses in scripture that are commonly misinterpreted by false teachers which need to be properly harmonized than simply your two pet verses on baptism.

Roman Catholics for example, interpret John 6:53-56 at face value, which results in the false doctrine of transubstantiation, which equates to cannibalism. Jesus is the Bread of Life and just as bread nourishes our physical bodies, Jesus gives and sustains eternal life to all believers. John 6:35 - "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst." Jesus used figurative language to emphasize these spiritual truths. John 6:63 - "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life."

By faith we partake of Christ, and the benefits of His bodily sacrifice on the cross and shed blood, receiving eternal life.

John 6:40 - Everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:54 - Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 6:47 - Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.
John 6:58 - He who eats this bread will live forever.

"He who believes" in Christ is equivalent to "he who eats this bread and drinks My blood" as the result is the same, eternal life.

Bread represents the "staff of life." Sustenance. That which essential to sustain life. Just as bread or sustenance is necessary to maintain physical life, Jesus is all the sustenance necessary for spiritual life.

The source of physical life is blood -- "life is in the blood." As with the bread, just as blood is the empowering or source of life physically, Jesus is all the source of spiritual life necessary.

*HERMENEUTICS*

No scripture is to be interpreted in isolation from the totality of scripture. Practically speaking, a singular obscure or ambiguous verse is to be subservient to multiple clear verses.

Yea, the Catholics sure do have there own thing going on.

So why don't you like my pet verses (GODS WORD)?

They don't fit in your harmonizing?

How does a person understand HIS word without someone like you to harmonize and explain it?

Fyi, no need for you to try to keep convincing me of the verse you share and say all you need is faith.

Can't enter Heaven with sin!! Only one way to get rid of it.

Think of all of the trouble GOD went though to make it so easy for us to get rid of our sins and you just ignore it.
 
Yea, the Catholics sure do have there own thing going on.
So does the oneness crowd.

I have no problem with those verses, I only have a problem with your EISEGESIS.

They fit, but your EISEGESIS doesn't fit.

It takes the Holy Spirit. (1 Corinthians 2:11-14; 1 Thessalonians 1:5)

Fyi, no need for you to try to keep convincing me of the verse you share and say all you need is faith.
So, you choose to remain in unbelief?

Can't enter Heaven with sin!! Only one way to get rid of it.
FAITH IN CHRIST.

Acts 10:43 - Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.

Romans 3:24 - being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

Acts 13:38 - Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; 39 and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

Acts 26:18 - to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.

Think of all of the trouble GOD went though to make it so easy for us to get rid of our sins and you just ignore it.
God made it easy but you make it complicated and I have not ignored that faith in Jesus Christ "implied in genuine repentance" (rather than water baptism) brings the remission of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Luke 24:47; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 5:31; 10:43-47; 11:17,18; 13:38-39; 15:7-9; 16:31; 20:21; 26:18).

*Perfect Harmony*
 
You are wrong, and are diving further into error because you stubbornly refuse both instruction and correction.

How do I listen to a man who don't know who God the Father is?
Without knowing God the Father, sins is not forgiven (Jeremiah 31:34).
If your sins are not forgiven yet you don't have any connection to God the Father.
How can you have connection to God the Father if you don't believe what he said in Jeremiah 31:34? Although you have the physical ear but you don't have spiritual ear to hear what God the Father is saying.
Therefore: all what you say is coming from your own perception and not from God the father.

ROMANS 10:14
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
 
So does the oneness crowd.

I have no problem with those verses, I only have a problem with your EISEGESIS.

Catholics don't say Peter is the first pope, but don't follow them.

Why would you say the so called oneness have their own thing going on when they just follow HIS WORD?

I've asked you if you had the Holy Ghosot, you never said you had it?

Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

You say I interpertet HIS word but you can't prove it? So am I?

Why would you say I don't believe?

Your harmony proving GOD'S word wrong is going down the wide and broad path.

Best of luck.
 
But Roman Catholics certainly do say that Peter was the first pope. I found this on a Catholic website:

"Every Catholic faithful to the one true Church knows that Saint Peter was the first pope. "

What church do you think is one true church?

You do know they don't follow Peter right?
 
What church do you think is one true church?

You do know they don't follow Peter right?
I don't think there is "one true church." There are faithful churches, which remain true to God's word, the bible, and those churches don't find in the bible anything about the office of pope, or about Peter being the first one.
 
I don't think there is "one true church." There are faithful churches, which remain true to God's word, the bible, and those churches don't find in the bible anything about the office of pope, or about Peter being the first one.

I sure will agree with that anytime you get men involved there are issues.

I go to a Pentecostal church due to the fact they follow the book of Acts which is the building of the church.

I don't agree with all of there thoughts but being reborn is the most importand thing then we can talk about what color the trees are lol.

No matter what church we go to, we are suppose to open our bible and if the preacher is saying something that does not line up with it challenge him and or leave.

Was Peter Really the First Pope? | Catholic Answers Q&A

Why would you say the so called oneness have their own thing going on when they just follow HIS WORD?
No, they don't just follow His word. The oneness crowd emphasizes one God who manifests Himself as Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirt, yet denies three distinct persons Father, Son and Holy Spirit (non-Trinitarian) and requires water baptism for salvation using a rigid formula "in Jesus' name" ONLY (in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit - Matthew 28:19 - is an invalid formula according to them) and baptism of the Holy Spirit MUST be followed by speaking in tongues as necessary for salvation also. No rigid baptism formula, no tongues, no salvation. Your oneness Pentecostal cousins also teach this false doctrine.

I've asked you if you had the Holy Ghosot, you never said you had it?
I certainly do. I received the Holy Spirit several years ago when I believed on the Lord Jesus Christ/placed my faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation/believed the gospel. (Acts 11:17; 15:7-9; Ephesians 1:13)

Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
These signs were promised to the apostolic community (Matthew 10:1) which were not uncommon in the early church age but were not promised to all believers in all ages. (1 Corinthians 12:27-30)

You say I interpertet HIS word but you can't prove it? So am I?
I already proved it. You remain deceived.

Why would you say I don't believe?
Because the gospel you preach "adds supplements" to the gospel that Jesus and the apostles taught. (Mark 1:15; John 3:18; Acts 10:43; 11:17,18; 15:7-9; Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Ephesians 1:13).

Your harmony proving GOD'S word wrong is going down the wide and broad path.
Harmony is about proving God's word right and not wrong. No scripture is to be interpreted in isolation from the totality of scripture (including your pet verses). Practically speaking, a singular obscure or ambiguous verse is to be subservient to multiple and clear verses, and not vice versa.

Best of luck.
Again, I don't need luck. I have the Son, Jesus Christ. :) 1 John 5:11 - And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. ✝️

Let me know when you are ready to BELIEVE. 🙏

The oneness crowd emphasizes one God who manifests Himself as Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirt, yet denies three distinct persons Father, Son and Holy Spirit (non-Trinitarian) and requires water baptism for salvation using a rigid formula "in Jesus' name" ONLY (in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit - Matthew 28:19 - is an invalid formula according to them) and baptism of the Holy Spirit MUST be followed by speaking in tongues as necessary for salvation also. No rigid baptism formula, no tongues, no salvation. Your oneness Pentecostal cousins also teach this false doctrine.

I certainly do. I received the Holy Spirit several years ago when I believed on the Lord Jesus Christ/placed my faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation/believed the gospel. (Acts 11:17; 15:7-9; Ephesians 1:13)

These signs were promised to the apostolic community (Matthew 10:1) which were not uncommon in the early church age but were not promised to all believers in all ages. (1 Corinthians 12:27-30)

I already proved it. You remain deceived.

Because the gospel you preach "adds supplements" to the gospel that Jesus and the apostles taught. (Mark 1:15; John 3:18; Acts 10:43; 11:17,18; 15:7-9; Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Ephesians 1:13).

Harmony is about proving God's word right and not wrong. No scripture is to be interpreted in isolation from the totality of scripture (including your pet verses). Practically speaking, a singular obscure or ambiguous verse is to be subservient to multiple and clear verses, and not vice versa.

Again, I don't need luck. I have the Son, Jesus Christ. :) 1 John 5:11 - And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. ✝️

Let me know when you are ready to BELIEVE. 🙏

So JESUS lied when he said John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

What are your three GODS name?

How do you know which GOD to pray to?

You claim you have been filled with the Holy Ghost, am I to take the verse you shared as gospel or do you need to tell me what they say?

This is GOSPEL.
Acts 2,
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

This is Peter telling WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A PERSON IS FILLED.
33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

This is JESUS telling us what happens if we are not baptized and also what happens when we receive the Holy Ghost.

Mark 16:16-17
King James Version
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

DO THEY ALL HARMONIZE TOGETHER?

So JESUS lied in Mark 16:17 also!

I see you can't PROVE I INTERPRETED IT!!!

You are no telling the truth, I do believe ALL of HIS WORD I DON'T PREACH AT ALL, I REPENT HIS WORD.

What I don't believe is JESUS needs YOU TO HARMONIZE HIS WORD TO PROVE IT CORRECT????

You say you have the son of Christ? I thought JESUS was the Christ did he have a child?
 
So JESUS lied when he said John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
No, Jesus did not lie in John 3:5 or in (John 4:10,14; 7:37-39; 15:3) You simply misinterpreted Jesus.

What are your three GODS name?
Not three God's but one God in essence/nature yet three distinct person's Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

How do you know which GOD to pray to?
We pray to God the Father through Jesus Christ (who is our mediator) and in the Holy Spirit. Christians pray to God the Father directly, as Jesus taught, but also through Jesus, who acts as our high priest, providing access to God the Father. The Holy Spirit also helps in prayer by interceding on our behalf with "groaning too deep for words". So, while the focus is on God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are all involved in prayer. (Matthew 6:9-13; John 14:13-14; 16:23-24; 1 Timothy 2:5; Romans 8:26-27; Jude 20)

You claim you have been filled with the Holy Ghost, am I to take the verse you shared as gospel or do you need to tell me what they say?
I received the Holy Spirit when I placed my faith in Jesus Christ for salvation/believed the gospel. (Acts 11:17; 15:7-9; Ephesians 1:13) Now there is a difference between receiving the Holy Spirit/being indwelt by the Holy Spirit and being filled with the Holy Spirit. Indwelling is a one time event that is ongoing, while filling is a repeated state of being filled with the Holy Spirit's control. Every believer is indwelt, but not every believer is continuously filled with the Spirit.

This is GOSPEL.
Acts 2,
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
This is being filled with the Holy Spirit followed by speaking in tongues, which is a fulfillment of what was spoken by the prophet Joel.

This is Peter telling WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A PERSON IS FILLED.
33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
In this case but not in every case of being filled, as I previously showed you.

This is JESUS telling us what happens if we are not baptized and also what happens when we receive the Holy Ghost.
John 3:18 - He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who (is not water baptized? - NO) does not believe is condemned already, because he has not (been water baptized? - NO) because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Mark 16:16-17
King James Version
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Mark 16:16 - He who believes and is baptized will be saved (general cases without making a qualification for the unusual case of someone who believes but is not baptized) but he who does not believe will be condemned. The omission of baptized with "does not believe" shows that Jesus does not make baptism absolutely necessary for salvation. Condemnation rests on unbelief and not on a lack of baptism. *NOWHERE does the Bible say, "baptized or condemned."

If water baptism is absolutely required for salvation, then we would expect Jesus to mention it in the following verses. (3:15,16,18; 5:24; 6:29,40,47; 11:25,26) Yet what is the ONE requirement that Jesus mentions NINE different times in each of these complete statements *BELIEVES. *What happened to baptism? *Hermeneutics.

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
You left out pick up serpents, drink deadly poison and it will not harm them and lay hands on the sick, and they will recover. (vs. 18) Are those last three not a part of YOUR gospel?

DO THEY ALL HARMONIZE TOGETHER?

So JESUS lied in Mark 16:17 also!

I see you can't PROVE I INTERPRETED IT!!!
Your EISEGESIS (salvation by water baptism using a rigid baptism formula of "in Jesus' name" only followed by speaking in tongues or else) is out of harmony with numerous passages of scripture. (Acts 3:19; 5:31; 10:43-47; 11:17,18; 13:38-39; 15:7-9; 20:21; 26:18; Romans 1:16; 3:22-26; 4:5-6; 5:1; 10:4; 1 Corinthians 1:21; Ephesians 2:8,9 etc..). A blind man cannot see.

You are no telling the truth, I do believe ALL of HIS WORD I DON'T PREACH AT ALL, I REPENT HIS WORD.
Oh, the irony.

What I don't believe is JESUS needs YOU TO HARMONIZE HIS WORD TO PROVE IT CORRECT????
Jesus doesn't need me to harmonize His word for Him because Jesus already full understands ALL of HIS word. Hermeneutics is for your sake because you do not properly understand.

You say you have the son of Christ? I thought JESUS was the Christ did he have a child?
I have the Son of God, (1 John 5:11-13) who is Jesus. As Peter stated in Matthew 16:16 - "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Many misconceptions about Jesus arise from a fundamental confusion surrounding his dual nature as fully God and fully man.
