Hi K77,
What did Peter say about salvation at Pentecost?
38Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”
Who did Peter address in Acts 2?
5Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. 7Utterly amazed, they asked: “Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans? 8Then how is it that each of us hears them in his own native language? 9Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs-we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” 12Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
Jews.

Please don't open that can of worms stating that baptism is required for salvation…
Weather or weather not Baptism is required for Salvation, is it not better to be safe rather than sorry?
Why not just do it and then that way your covered either way?
I mean…obviously being baptized in water is not going to send you to hell…right?
So whats it going to hurt?
I believe there are people that have been saved without being baptized. It even gives at least one example of someone being saved with out being baptized ….however. What if it were?
Thats what I say about every thing…What if it were what was going to keep you out of heaven. Drinking a beer…some people don't feel that that will send you to hell. But…what if it did?
Is is worth the risk?
I'm not trying to point out things that are wrong or right ….I'm just trying to get you to look at things a different way.
Balance them on a make believe scale. Which weighs more?
Your relationship with GOD and prayer and fasting will answer those questions for you. Did for me.
Hi Irene,
You said in another post
“We are Baptized in the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit”Should we be? Did the apostles do this?
Matt.28:18-19.
This account is principally concerned with the rejection of the kingdom. How fitting that it should close with a preview of its establishment in the coming eon! The place is significant. Satan took Him to a high mountain to show Him the kingdoms of the earth. The transformation was on a mountain. The place speaks of His exaltation. This will not be realized until He comes in glory. He has not yet taken His great power (Un.11:17). The apostles never went out to all nations. On the contrary, Peter was opposed when he went to the proselyte Cornelius (Ac.11:3). They never baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit. They used the titles of Christ intelligently when they baptized. They used “Jesus Christ” in baptizing Israelites, “Lord Jesus” for Samaritans (Ac.8:16). They never used “Christ Jesus,” the title of His present heavenly glory. They never used the formula here given because they knew that it was reserved for the future kingdom proclamation. They never discipled the nations, as such. The Lord was not with them till the conclusion of that eon, but left them soon after, when He ascended. This commission cannot be carried out until His return in power and glory to bless all nations through His people Israel.hi nick
not at all,i want to tell you i am looking forward for your comments ,and what i see is of no use.i think it is funny that a doctrine is literally based on one scripture that doesn't imply or explain to a reader anything in that regards to God,Son and holy spirit as being one.
it clearly says to baptize in the name of , that is all, it is not implying or stating anything else.
if you get a gift from lets say 3 family members do you not thank all 3. does that mean all 3 are the same person or equal. nope.
the holy spirit is not a person anyways.
if i helped build you a house and so did my son and i had help from a outside source lets say charity that supplied some cash and or help does that mean all three of the parties are one person or substance or essance becasue we had a common goal as a group.
NO.
