Peter was speaking here but yeah, Christ was speaking thru the Holy Ghost in Peter, but you are misunderstanding Him.
All that deflection for what message are you getting across? Is it "Jesus does not save. Water baptism does." ?
Another deflection while ignoring the obvious that Peter deferred form water baptism to the preaching of teh cross as it is the ower of God in salvation to save those that believe.
Jesus did say that a lot.
John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
I could go on, but there it is.
What is the difference between you and me on this issue? My testimony glorifies Jesus Christ as my Savior by believing in Him is how I am saved whereas your testimony testifies that whoever does the water baptism by whatever church, is the savior because Jesus did not save otherwise.
Please explain Paul still being in his sins 3 days after he believed in Christ?
Please explain Paul believing and not getting the Holy Spirit the moment he believed? Explain why he got HS baptism three days later after faith.
Explain Paul having his sins washed away 3 days later not the moment he believed?
]Nothing we have to do(obey)?
Paul was not saved without being told what to do. Paul had to do something.
Acts 9:6-7
So he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what do You want me to DO? Then the Lord said to him.
Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must DO.
Jesus told Saul/Paul, he had to Do something. You say Paul did not.
Who should I believe? You or Jesus?
Paul in three days is going to get the Holy Spirit.
He is already a believer, but he is not saved nor does he have Holy Spirit baptism yet.
Acts 9:9 And he was three days without sight, and nethier ate nor drank.
Jesus commands Ananias to preach the gospel to Paul.
Ananias goes to Paul, and guess what he tells him?
He tells Paul, to be water baptized just as Jesus commands in His gospel,
Mark 16:15-16.
Acts 9:17-18
...Brother Saul(Jews call themselves brothers) the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Three days later after Paul was a believer in Jesus he gets Holy Spirit baptized!!! Wow
That does not fit your gospel of salvation the moment you believe and Holy Spirit baptism instantaneously at all!
Sounds like your gospel is not found in the actual conversions that take place in the new testament during the time Christ's gospel was in effect. But it does sound like
Mark 16:15-16. Hmmm?
Acts 9:18
Immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he received his sight at once, and he arose and was baptized.
Paul was not saved by faith alone.
It is obvious he did not know your gospel!
Paul said his sins were washed away not when he believed but when he was water immersed.
Acts 22:16
And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the lord.
Explain how three days after Paul comes to faith in Christ he still had his sins until he was baptized?
Sounds like Jesus meant what He said and says what He means,
Mark 16:15-16.
