"Baptism doth now save us". Can't get any clearer than that.

To believe as you do forces you to pit scripture against scripture, accepting some rejecting others. That's what you're doing. You're in essence saying, disregard thus scripture in favor of that one. Doesn't work that way.

That's NOT what the scriptures clearly say. Belief saves no one. Belief and obedience is necessary, and obedience requires that you follow through with your belief by confession of it as the Ethiopian eunuch did in Acts 8, repentance, as the Jews were told to do on Acts2, and baptism, also per...

No, it's not the cleansing of the flesh by the water, but it's still by baptism we are united with Christ and become part of the body, so, it is baptism that saves us as the scripture clearly says; without baptism there is no salvation.

Man was not born with original sin. No such terminology jn scripture. Adam wasn't born with original sin. He committed sin as did Eve. The early church meaning what? Subsequent to the written scriptures? The church in biblical times was going off the rails as evidenced by the NT writings, let...

Baptism saves the penitent believer then and now. Weren't the Gentiles saved by baptism as were the jews? Wasn't Cornelius in need of baptism and wasn't he and his baptized? Who were the bulk of NT letters written to, Israel, the Jews? No; gentiles. Baptism also accomplishes other things that...

Infants are not born in sin. Period. It's not possible, and illogical. Sin is a transgression. And you answered your own question by citing the scripture that all must become as little children. Answer the scripture relating to tge whole household being baptized does not say children or...

It's bias, predetermined notions that people have, and not confusion over what the word clearly and simply says.

Yes, but the point is it's required for salvation, no different than belief, faith, confession, and repentance, and is a command to believers as noted in Mk 16:15-16; and its not a work, as many here erroneously claim, as though it was a work of the flesh

It's very simple. The absolute 1st requirement of salvation is belief. No one can believe for another person, and infants are incapable of belief. Jesus said in Mk 16:15-16 below: 1, believe 2 be baptized. Not 1 be baptized and 2 believe later on, maybe, maybe not. Yer this is what's typically...

Baptism? He that believeth AND is baptized shall be saved. Being obedient includes baptism, being baptized. "And" is a conjunction which inextricably ties belief and baptism together. Both are required and baptism is therefore commanded to, and required by the believer.

Look, its very simple. You can't agree with one scripture and disagree with another or ignore the other. Scripture doesn't conflict with scripture; it ALL must be taken into consideration. You didn't address the 2 that I cited. What do they mean if not what they clearly say, or fi you ignore...

Following and being obedient is a commandment and requirement. Jesus said "he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved" (Mk 16:15-16). And God will take vengeance on those that "obey not the gospel: (1 Thes 1:8). Pretty clear. Faith ain't enough.

Faith alone doctrine is unscriptural, since believing and faith go hand-in-hand, and if you have duch belief and faith you'll then be obedient, and obedience requires you to do yet more: repent and be baptized.

It doesn't but anything that's contrary to the truth is a doctrine of the devil because foolish, lazy people will believe it, embrace it, and put their faith and trust in it, ultimately loosing their souls. Is this not what the devil wants? Is this not how the devil operates, by spreading false...

Scripture cannot contradict Scripture. The only way to get the correct, total understanding of scripture is to combine all scripture on any given topic. Regarding salvation, you put the pieces together. Kne scripture says belief is required. Another says faith is required. Yet another says...

If you study and follow the scriptures, its undeniable that baptism is not a sign nor serves the purpose of showing anyone anything relative to your belief, but rather us an absolute need to be saved. Mk 16:15:16 shows it's a commandment and necessity. Belief and baptism are inextricably tied...

I don't know what point you're trying to make. Yes, part of the gospel that Philip preached to the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8 obviously included the need to be baptized when he us why the eunuch asked about it being near a body of water, and the words are clear: he was told he could be baptized...

It is 100% true and 100% scriptural. And you lack understanding of the thief on the cross issue. In simple terms, Jesus was still alive when he forgave the thief on the cross, no different than his forgiving others during his earthly ministry. His being alive means that the OT was still in...
