After being saved I decided to be baptised as a show of obedience towards the work He did on the cross. It was nothing that I did in works that helped me toe saved but by His Grace toward me. I am thankful.
Your answer to "Men and brethren, what must we do?" or "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" is .... "Nothing"?
@BadDadXX87 Why, you couldn't prove the thief was or was not baptized if your life depended on it. Maybe he was. Maybe he wasn't. Maybe he was saved as a back-slidden Jew before Jesus even died.
@BadDadXX87 He started off reviling Him, but ... he knew that He was sinless and knew that He had a coming kingdom. How did He know that? Could He not have been a backslidden follower of Christ? Unbelievers generally do not speak that way. I'll pray that you re-read the text because the thief is not an example of Christian conversion anyway: the Old Law was still in effect.
@BadDadXX87 Here's what has absolutely no validity: "The thief was never baptized." Try taking that one to court, and you'll find out who is regarded as a partisan and childish commentator. Of course salvation is by faith just as the walls of Jericho fell by faith. I never said it wasn't. The question is, "What is faith?" Do you accept Thayer's definitions? I certainly do. You, however, will not. You'll actually sit there and say that you know more about koine Greek than a PhD who spent his entire life studying Greek and wrote the world's standard Greek-English lexicon. You won't accept Liddell and Scott, either.
Thank you! My mother was elderly, ill and had Alzheimers when she got saved. She did not get water baptized. I was upset that I didn't get her baptized, but from your teaching it sounds like God's mercy and grace covered her. 💖✝️🕊
Amen
If she was a good person, she will have an opportunity to be baptized, and yes it is required. Find the church that teaches baptism for the dead.
@@karlshaner2453 Interesting, thank you. I'm still not sure that water baptism is a requirement, since the thief on the cross next to Jesus during His crucifixion was not baptized, but simply believed Jesus as Lord, and Jesus told him he would soon be in Paradise with Him. But I will check it out.
@@karlshaner2453 Baptism is a required usual means of forgiveness, but faith in Christ alone brings eternal peace with God, and if one is unable to be baptized and doesn’t reject a clear opportunity for baptism, they will 100% be in heaven.
@@TheOtherCaleb Please look to the definition of remission. Faith in the Lord is of no effect if you keep not his commandments. Baptism is not recorded in heaven if it is not performed by those whom the Lord has given authority to perform the ordinance. A church without authority can only baptize one into that church. Hence why the Lord talks about thieves trying to enter in another way. Hope this helped.
Absolutely refreshing to hear this 👏🏽
Wow! Thank you so much Sir🙏
This issue of baptism has plagued me for quite some time. Then, I found this verse in Acts 11:15-16 (NLT):
“As I began to speak,” Peter continued, “the Holy Spirit fell on them, just as he fell on us at the beginning. Then I thought of the Lord’s words when he said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
The above verse refers to Peter's visit to the Roman centurion's (i.e., Cornelius) household. They were Gentiles baptized *with the Holy Spirit*, not by water. To me, this is biblical evidence that baptism of the Holy Spirit is automatic when a person accepts and believes in Jesus Christ, and that baptism by water is not mandatory and was necessary only before the Holy Spirit came to this world on Pentecost Day.
Anyone is welcome to tell me if I'm understanding this wrong, and I say this with a sincere desire to understand this issue of baptism better.
He actually baptized them after that event... Read it better. " Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord".
@@karlshaner2453 The verse you're referring to is in Acts 10. So when you said Peter baptized them *after* that event, you got your chronology wrong because the verse I quoted is in Acts 11. Latter events override prior events in a chronology.
@@eggmine130 There are many accounts, and baptism is required. Further more, one must have authority to perform the ordinance.
It's a command of Christ to baptize the nations so yes you must be baptized. He himself was baptized in water and symbolically received the Holy Spirit.
So like Christ we must be (in His words) born of water and born of Spirit. It is His command and Church doctrine.
Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, and of instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment Hebrews 6:1
For John the Baptist (Mark 1:4) and the apostles (Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16, 1 Peter 3:21, Hebrews 6:1-2, Romans 6:1-12) baptism was about repentance and forgiveness of sins.
Even after Acts 10 and 11 folks continue to be baptized in water and receive the laying on of hands.
@@fernandoperez8587 But one needs authority to do so, as did John. Receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost also requires authority and performed by the laying on of hands. This is not only biblical, but only one church on the earth have that authority. Many use slang to identify them, but they are The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Amen and amen ! Glory to God !
Thank you, LORD Jesus for saving myself & my loved ones.
Baptism is essential to salvation because it is when one’s sins are forgiven, when one receives the Holy Spirit, when one dies to sin, when one starts a new life, and when one becomes a child of God in Christ. In other words, “Baptism is the time and place that God forgives and saves.” Thus, when it comes to salvation, baptism is not the what but the when. The moment when you receive God’s saving grace is the moment you emerge from the watery tomb of baptism. That is why baptism is essential to salvation. Baptism “completes our response of saving faith,” which “begins with a confessed belief, continues with repentance, and is completed in baptism.”
It’s not a public declaration. The eunuch was baptized in the desert. The jailer was baptized in the middle of the night.
what about the thief on the cross?
@@michaelpark5764 he wasn’t under the obligation to get baptized because Jesus hadn’t been buried or resurrected. That’s the gospel, Jesus death, burial, and resurrection.
@@colepriceguitar1153
More like neither the Penitent thief on the cross or ANYONE must be baptized in order to inherit God's Eternal Life.
@@lynette4412 then why is baptism put as a prerequisite for salvation in Mark 16:16?
Michael Park the thief on the right his cross was a repented criminal and he accepted Jesus as his Personal Lord and saviour by saying to the Lord and said " remember me in your kingdom " and Jesus replied to him by saying; to day thou shall be with me in paradise.
Now if you believed that, that is an actual baptism did by Christ to a repented criminal and not a ritual one. As you noticed what apostles Paul emphasizes the meaning baptism in Romans:
Romans 6:3-6 KJV - Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
If I'm that sinner on the right side of my Lord and Saviour, for me that would be a great honor and respect to die with Him, burried with Him and raised with Him because for me that is his actual baptism to me. Glory to the Lord amen.
Obey Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38, John 3:16-17
I WAS WRONG!!
I said here that water baptism was NOT necessary for salvation. Today while doing bible study I saw where it is absolutely necessary:
John 3:5. Jesus HIMSELF said this to Nicodemus, a Pharisee, when he inquired of Him. So I apologize for my beliefs when Jesus clearly states it in the Bible. It is one thing to be ignorant, but another once God allows the eyes to be opened. Let everyone work out their own salvation with fear and trembling! God bless!
So should I get baptized or not? I am very confused and I'm not ashamed of my love of Jesus
@smiley maria Yes, absolutely!
Being "born of water" means to be born of the water of the womb (physically born). This is very clear, since being born a second time is what their conversation was about. Verse 6 clarifies: " Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit". Jesus is telling us that after you are physically born, you must also be spiritually born to enter the kingdom of God. So no, John 3:5 does not prove that water baptism is required for salvation. In fact, Jesus states the contrary a few sentences later in 3:16: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever *believes* in him shall not perish but have eternal life." Jesus regularly tells us the conditions for salvation, and water baptism is not one of them.
How many people have I seen rejected the baptism of Jesus Christ are so many, unbelievable numbers ! Satan has decived many people to just believing you will be saved , remember that even Satan believes in Jesus himself and I've even heard of a testimony from someone who even said Satan has confessed Jesus being true , I'm sure glad I didn't have to convince you ! God Bless you sister . Shalom
@@smileymaria6164 Get baptized asap .. in Jesus name...
Do not be confused, Baptism is NOT a work of our OWN righteousness. It is a work of GOD. It is true that our own works will not save us. But Water Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ is NOT our work. God is the one that washes us clean IN baptism. God saves us through water baptism as clearly laid out in scripture. We know faith without works is DEAD, (James 2) and we know our own works will not save is. So the truth is FAITH + WORKS OF GOD. Water baptism is the WORK OF GOD that when we obey, makes our faith an OBEDIENT FAITH. Please read the scriptures below and let the Spirit of God lead you.
1 Peter 3:21 - The like figure whereunto even BAPTISM doth also now SAVE US (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:”
Mark 16:16 - He that believeth and is BAPTIZED shall be SAVED; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned.
Titus 3:5 - Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he SAVED us, by the WASHING OF REGENERATION, and renewing of the Holy Ghost
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.
1 Peter 3:20 - Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were SAVED BY WATER.
1 Cor 10:1-2 - Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the SEA; 2And were ALL BAPTIZED unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
Col 2:12 - 12 Buried with him in BAPTISM, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the OPERATION OF GOD, who hath raised him from the dead.
Gal 3:27 - For as many of you as have been BAPTIZED into Christ have put on Christ.
Acts 2:38 - 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.
Acts 22:16 - And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be BAPTIZED, and WASH AWAY THY SINS, calling on the name of the Lord.
Thank you for sharing these scriptures.
It bothers me that people avoid the importance of baptism as commanded by Jesus. He commands it and obedience applies grace. Baptism connects you to His promise. Obedience and works of self are not the same things. Stop justifying laziness because by this you're telling Jesus I have done enough. Repent and be baptized in Jesus name for the remission of sin. God bless.
Amen.
Matthew 28:18-20... clearly states Lord Jesus in his own words says we have to be baptized in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
I read 1 corinthians 15:1-8 and I don't understand how those verses relate to the discussion. I'm probably missing something, but those verses just talk about the church in Corinth not believing in the dead being able to rise. If anybody could help me out that would be pretty neato cheetoh.
Jesus said to the man on the cross next to him "today you will be with me in paradise". (Luke Chapter 23 Verse 43). Had this man been water baptized???
Water baptism happens because someone has been saved. Water baptism doesn't save.
The recent coronation happened because Charles is now the King. The coronation didn't make Charles the King. Charles became the King when his mother - Queen Elizabeth the Second - died.
A coronation for William or George would be nonsense as neither of them are King.
Careful to hear these. He doesn't believed in Mark 16:16. Second as noticed this man, as if it telling us that Paul in 1 Corinthians 1:14 was not and actual events of Apostle Paul did. But the truth and reasons why Apostle Paul can't Baptized them in personal is because this books of Corinthians was his letters to them from Ephesus or Asia minor.
That is why these books called to be the letters of Apostle Paul to Corinthians.
Evidently this Guy is The devil himself. Acts 2:38 There is NO Salvation Without Remission Of Sins
Gospel of Matthew7:21
"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."
James 2:26
"For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."
Gospel of John14:15 and 23
"If ye love me, keep my commandments."
"Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him."
Gospel of Matthew 28:19-20
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen
Acts 2:38 and 41
"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."
"Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls."
I'm glad I receive his word I got water baptized in Jesus name in January of 1971 in a UPCI church in south Korea pastor Kim said I baptized you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin 3 months latter I received the gift of the holy ghost and spoke in tongues I still speak in tongues in prayer worship it gives you power to witness and preach
Let the bible speak where it speaks and let it remain silent where it is silent
Seems I've heard that statement before. It expresses a grand concept.
THE BIBLE SAYS BAPTISM SAVES US
Mark 16:16
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
1 Peter 3:21
The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
If you agree that water baptism is the new covenants' antitype of the old covenants' type of cleansing the temple with water and blood in preparation for the Spirit of God to inhabit it then you have to agree that water baptism is essential in order to be saved.
I would still choose baptism in a public or private faith ceremony
Matthew 3:13-17
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him.
14 And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?”
15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.
If the Son of Man , Jesus Christ did it and He is the First Son of God and we should become His brothers (and sisters), than I would do the same as He did
Romans 8:29
"For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. "
THE BIBLE SAYS BAPTISM IS IN WATER
1 Peter 3:20-21
(20) Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
(21) The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
Mark 1:9-10
(9) And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
(10) And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
Acts 8:38-39
(38) And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
(39) And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
There are many who are more learned that disagree with you:
Barnabas (circa 75 AD)
"Blessed are they who place their trust in the cross and descend down into the water... We indeed descend into the water full of sins and defilement, however we come up, bearing fruit in our heart, having the fear of God and trust in Jesus in our spirit."
Hermas (circa 110 AD)
"Before a man bears the name of the Son of God, he is dead. But when he receives the seal, he lays aside his deadness and obtains life. The seal then is the water. They descend into the water dead, and they rise alive."
Justin Martyr circa - (circa -160 AD)
"But there is no other way than this to become acquainted with Christ; We must be washed in the fountain spoken of by Isaiah for the remission of our sins, and for the remainder of our lives we must live sinless lives."
Iranaeus (circa 180 AD)
"But there are some Gnostics who assert that it is unnecessary to bring people to the water. Rather they mix oil and water together, and they place this mixture on the heads of those that are to be initiated. .. This they maintain to be the redemption... But there are other heretics that reject all of these practices and maintain that the mystery of the unspeakable should not be performed by visable and corruptible creatures. They claim that the knowledge of the power of God is itself perfect redemption."
Tertullian (circa 198 AD)
"(Unless a man is born of water and of Spirit, he can not enter into the kingdom of Heaven.) {Quoted from John 3:3} These words have tied faith to the necessity of water baptism, and accordingly, all those that became believers were thus baptized. It was also this way with Paul, that when he believed, he was baptized."
Cyprian (circa 250 AD)
"One is not re-born by the imposition of hands when they receive the Holy Spirit; Rather it is through water baptism. Therefore, having thoroughly cleansed, he may receive the Holy Spirit."
Archelaus (circa 320 AD)
" If he (Jesus) was not been baptized in water, neither are any of us baptized. Yet, if there is no baptism, neither will there be the remission of sins. Rather, every man will die in their sins."
Apostolic Constitutions (circa 390 AD)
"He who, out of contempt will not be baptized in water, he will be condemned as an unbeliever. He will be reproached as ungrateful and foolish. For the Lord says, unless a man is born of water and spirit, he will not enter the kingdom of heaven. (Quoted from John 3:3) and again he said, He who believes and is baptized shall be saved. (Quoted from Mark 16:16)"
There are many more quotes from many other men throughout history that taught that baptism is the method of conversion, where we receive the remission of our sins. The doctrine that you teach is a creation that was invented by the Gnostics and is not a teaching of the Bible nor Apostles nor of Christ. If you want true interpretation of scripture, it is best to go to the writings of the men that were taught directly by the Apostles, lived and worked with them. They did not learn from the scriptures but were taught hands on, directly from those who knew the truth. Trust their words. I pray you have a heart for this truth and can overcome your indoctrination.
So according to Romans 6:3, if you have *not* been baptized into Christ Jesus, have you been baptized into His death?
But not only His Baptism, but you also take part in His Resurrection! "Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life" (Romans 6:4).Therefore heirs to the Kingdom of Heaven through Christ Jesus.
Romans 10:9-10 read. These words of God tells you how you will be saved and how God saves.
If you confess with your mouth "Jesus is Lord" and believe in your heart that God raised Lord Jesus from death, you will be saved. 10 Yes, we believe in Jesus deep in our hearts, and so we are made right with God. And we openly confess that belief, and God saves us.
ERV Bible (UK)
Thanks. Lets not debate. God's word is not for argument.
You: "God's word is not for argument."
Paul: "Therefore disputed he (Paul) in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him."
It just seems that you and Paul have/had a different opinion on debating. There is no one passage that states what man must do in order to be forgiven. There are, however, numerous examples of conversion in the book of Acts, beginning with chapter 2. They all follow the same pattern, after a certain point. I'd suggest you read through each of those examples - and then you'll know what you need to do. Going to Romans - a book that does not contain a single conversion - is certainly a novel approach.
All the people who asked for Baptizm in the New Testament Believed and Confessed Jesus to be the Savior but they Did not Stop There. You got a Reformed Theology. that Means You are Catholic..
Must be Baptized: We must be baptized to wash away our sins and to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit to become a Christian.
Versus - (Acts 2:38), (Acts 22:16), (Galatians 3:27), (Romans 6:3-6), (Mark 16:16), (John 3:3-5), (1 Peter 3:20-21)
These versus are very clear on how baptism is necessary for salvation.
Must be done by those who actually have authority. The gift of the Holy Ghost also requires authority, and laying on of hands. Clearly the guy in the video does not understand.
How do you account for the thief on the cross who Jesus said to him that he would be in paradise with Him. He didn’t get baptized
@@Cabmaker When does Christianity begin? Christianity begins after the Pentecost, so that means the thief was saved under the old laws. When Jesus was walking around the earth, they were still under the laws of Moses, Jesus was just teaching people what to do before he leaves this world. It wasn’t until when Jesus died and after the Pentecost when Christianity begins.
Second we need to understand why the thief was saved. The thief was saved because Jesus was an innocent man and his blood was able to pay for that man’s life. This is what Jews practiced before Jesus came under the laws of Moses, they needed innocent blood to pay for their sins. And the shed up innocent blood was usually done on children. They would circumcise children because they are innocent (Matthew 18:1-3). And that shed of blood would pay for their sins, but it wasn’t enough, hence why they did it all the time. So that’s how the man was saved on the cross because Jesus was innocent his whole life and was able to pay for that man’s life. Circumcising of babies was foreshadowing the coming Christ our God, who would pay for all our sins on the cross.
This is why Peter talks about in Acts on why we don’t need to circumcise children anymore as a shed of innocent blood, because Jesus did that for everyone on the cross.
Hope that helps.
@@karlshaner2453 ya fr
@@Cabmaker Paradise is NOT the kingdom of his Father. People who have a humble and repentant heart (like the thief), will have the opportunity to hear the gospel in the realm of spirits. Baptism for the dead is for every soul who will receive it in the realm to come, if they had not the opportunity to accept in this life.
The bible clearly tells us that faith without works is dead. Faith alone does nothing. Even Peter teaches that after men have faith, they are required to repent and be baptized, and only then can they receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Faith without works means that good works are a result of faith, but not helping you earn salvation. Salvation comes before good works, not the other way around. James is talking about what is mentioned many times, the fruit of being a true believer. Saying faith alone does nothing is unbiblical and the thief on the cross who had nothing but faith would agree.
@@ItsJillStrif That is some serious twisting of scripture, and a lack of understanding.
@@karlshaner2453 Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 10:9-8, Romans 6:23, John 3:16, John 11:25. Can you show me in those scriptures where it says your works help you become saved? If you think salvation is earned you do not know the gospel.
@@ItsJillStrif Salvation is not a test. Faith without works is dead! Baptism is a work, repentance is a work. Everything Christ spoke of and did shows forth works.
@@karlshaner2453 Baptism doesn't save you, it is something you do to show you have been saved. It's like a wedding ceremony. It's a great thing to publicly show that to devotion and choice to others. Jesus wants us to do it. If you aren't baptized it doesn't mean you're not saved. The works spoken of are a result of salvation, not to earn it. It's fruit of the Spirit. It helps you know if you are truly a Christian. If you have a new heart, new desires, and repent when you sin, these are all good works as a result of salvation. Jesus can expect things from us as Christians. That doesn't mean they contribute to our salvation.
Remember the criminal who was crucified with Christ. He wasn't baptized and yet Jesus Christ said "And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise." (Luke 23:43) Because the criminal had faith alone in Him.
Jesus set the stage he travel 10 miles away from Jerusalem to get baptized in Jordan River by John his cousin he did not have to buy
Mark 16:16 makes it pretty plain. If you want salvation you will need two things, belief and baptism.
Here’s a link to our commentary on Mark 16:16. (In short, Baptism is NOT required for salvation). To learn more, click the link: www.bibleref.com/Mark/16/Mark-16-16.html
@@gotquestions Well I have read that Mark 16:16 is not suppose to be in the Bible. If that is the case I am sure you realize by definition you no longer have an inerrant Bible.
In the last chapter of Matthew Christ tells his apostle to preach to all the world baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Why tell the apostles to baptise if it is not necessary, it is a poor economy of effort.
Christ told John to baptize him to fulfill all righteous. How is doing something that is not necessary fulfilling righteousness? Why not walk two miles, its less messy.

@@smileymaria6164 Hi, the Bible says that we must believe the gospel, repent of our sins, confess Jesus as Lord and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins.
John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
Exactly, we are already born of water from the womb and we now need to be born again of the Spirit. Not talking about baptism.
@@DavidSandyOfficial then why was the very first thing that every new believer in the Bible did was get baptized is it wasn't necessary. It's even called a foundational works in Hebrews 6.
@@lauramartin7268 Jesus is talking about being born again. When were you first born? From the womb. And you must be born again of the Spirit.

When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,"
@@DavidSandyOfficial yes I know to be born again, and when you are you are baptized. 1 Peter 3:21 and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also-not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
@@lauramartin7268 That verse clearly teaches that it's a pledge of a clear conscience not the water as removing sins... only the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
Beware of the "church of Christ"
Denomination
They believe in a false gospel of "works justify" not faith in Jesus Christ and his Resurrection
They believe that it is the work of God that we get baptized not believe in Jesus Christ the son of God
That Church should be ashamed of itself, baptism is a great thing but to twist it to a false gospel and say baptism is the blood of Jesus we are coming in contact with is total lies
our faith is what makes us saved not works nor baptism ❤️
You do not know what you talking about. You twist and lie.
the quick answer is no.
Peter said yes.
Baptism is absulotely necessary according to the Bible. You cannot use 1 Corinthians 1:14 by saying that Paul did not conduct Baptism is Because Corinthians is a letter of Paul from Ephesus or in Asia minor. Corinthians is not actual teaching by Paul to the Christian in Corinthians but this is a letter. And the truth; Baptism is an actual act of pastors or apostles to a believers. So this is the reason why Paul cannot or did not teaching Baptism is because he is not on their present.
Answer:
No.
Evangelical nonsense 🤦♂
I will say this with as much clarity as possible. Baptism IS NOT a work of man, but a work of God. So none of these passages you reference to faith alone contradict baptismal regeneration.
@JESUS IsLord If salvation isn't a work of man, how come you need a man to do it? We are willing participants in baptism. It is not our work.
And what do you think it means to believe.
1 Peter 3:21, John 3:5 explains baptism pretty well.

False. nowhere in the Bible does it say faith alone. If so I'd like to see it.
The New Testament teaches that one must:
Believe in Christ (Mark 16:16; Heb. 11:6; John 3:16). Believing in Christ involves believing who He is (the Son of God) and believing what He says (in the gospel).
Repent of sins (Luke 13:5; Acts 2:38)
Confess faith in Christ as the Son of God (Matt. 10:32; Rom. 10:9)
Be baptized for the remission of sins (Matt 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-16; Acts 2:38; 22:16; Rom. 6:3-5; Gal. 3:27; 1 Pet 3:21)
Many passages of the Bible teach that salvation is through faith alone, not faith plus works. Ephesians 2:8-9, for example, is clearly worded and unequivocal: “It is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast.” Of great importance is the word grace, which refers to God’s blessings on the undeserving. The very idea of grace negates all attempts to earn salvation. Paul makes that argument when teaching on God’s choosing of the remnant of Israel: “Since it is through God’s kindness, then it is not by their good works. For in that case, God’s grace would not be what it really is-free and undeserved” (Romans 11:6, NLT).
Other passages that clearly teach salvation through faith alone include Acts 16:31; Romans 3:28; 4:5; 5:1; Galatians 2:16; 3:24; Ephesians 1:13; and Philippians 3:9.
There are a few Bible passages that, at first glance, seem to teach salvation through faith plus works. One such is James 2:24, which appears to say that justification is by faith plus works: “You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.” This apparent problem is solved by examining the whole of James’ argument in his epistle. James is refuting the idea that a person can have saving faith without producing any good works (see James 2:17-18). Genuine faith in Christ, James says, will produce a changed life and result in good works (James 2:20-26). James is not saying that justification is by faith plus works, but that a person who is truly justified by faith will have good works in his or her life. The works are an outward show of genuine faith in Christ (James 2:14, 17, 20, 26)-and it’s that outward show that “justifies” the believer in the sight of other people.
You strongly reject what the Bible says in Rom 6:1-6; Acts 2:38. Your argument is bogus. You twist scripture to conclude your doctrine. Eph 2:8-9 does not contradict baptism but affirms it (read Gal 3:11-28). Your logic is faulty and you are overriding context to make the comments you are making. You expressly twist 1 Cor 1. and many other passages. Good conscience is required because of sins in the life of the believer. Baptism saves because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Pet 3:21).
The thief on the cross wasn’t baptized but was saved
Different kinds of baptism in theology. Baptism through blood, the willingness to die for the profession that Christ is king; baptism through water; and baptism through desire, meaning that you can be "baptized" through Christ's desire that everyone be saved, such as the thief on the cross. So no, the thief was not baptized through water, but through Christ's desire
@@Dark-or6bn First off, you'd need to prove that "the thief was not baptized through water". He lived in an area where thousands were baptized with John's baptism, and he obviously knew something of Jesus's life and teachings. Anyway, the floor is yours.
He was repentant on the cross. He would still be required to be baptized vicariously.
@@karlshaner2453 Under Jewish Law?
The thief died under the law during the law baptism wasn't nessary you had to have faith and repent after Christ died and resurrection he commanded repentence and baptism Matthew 28 19 and Acts 2 38 after we become believe then we need to study the word like in Ephesians
Sorry Got Questions Ministries and everyone else here. But this is wrong, Baptism is Essential for Salvation. Mark 16:16 "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned" Baptism is a Declaration of Faith, You are Baptised by Faith and Faith alone. Ephesians 2:8 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-". You have to remember GOD can not give you his Grace/Salvation by force, he can only do so if you want it. Deuteronomy 30:15-16 "Today I am giving you a choice. You can choose life and success or death and disaster. I am commanding you to be loyal to the LORD, to live the way he has told you, and to obey his laws and teachings. You are about to cross the Jordan River and take the land that he is giving you. If you obey him, you will live and become successful and powerful" these are parallels in The Holy Bible both Old and New Testaments are paralleled. John 14:15 says, "If you love me keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever- the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. " The flesh/world cannot receive the Holy Spirit only those who are born spiritually in the spirit can and only they are able to enter GOD'S KINGDOM, Lord Jesus Christ says so to Nicodemus. John 3:3, "Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again." The reason why people are willfully sinning every day is because they did give their lives to GOD when they have claimed to. When people are sinning willingly after they are baptized, it's because they did not get Baptized by Faith and Faith alone(Declaring Their Lives To GOD In Complete Trust and Obedience)but rather they only did it to please themselves and others. Ephesians 4:4-6 "There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all." Becuase people do not take Baptism seriously and put their Faith in GOD, the renewal of mind cannot take place in that person's life. Romans 12:1-2 " I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." So yes Baptism is Necessary for Salvation.
Don't think of this for argument sake, I'm just correcting you because I care for you all.

Baptism is ABSOLUTELY necessary for Salvation. Matthew 28:19 confirms this (The Great Commission), which is Christ Jesus last commandment to baptize all nations. Mark 16:16 affirms this by stating that those who are not baptized, shall be damned. Salvatin is a threefold process, and Baptism is part of that process. Jesus Christ showed us the way, He was also baptized. Please follow the scriptures and don't be misled by others that say it is not necessary. The Peace of OUr Lord Jesus Christ be with all those that read this and BELIEVE....Amen.....Amen!!!
If baptism is necessary for salvation, why would Paul have said, “I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius” (1 Corinthians 1:14)? Why would he have said, “For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel-not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power” (1 Corinthians 1:17)? Granted, in this passage Paul is arguing against the divisions that plagued the Corinthian church. However, how could Paul possibly say, “I am thankful that I did not baptize…” or “For Christ did not send me to baptize…” if baptism were necessary for salvation? If baptism is necessary for salvation, Paul would literally be saying, “I am thankful that you were not saved…” and “For Christ did not send me to save…” That would be an unbelievably ridiculous statement for Paul to make. Further, when Paul gives a detailed outline of what he considers the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-8), why does he neglect to mention baptism? If baptism is a requirement for salvation, how could any presentation of the gospel lack a mention of baptism?
@@Sapari1 Paul's gospel was to preach, that was his main mission, but he did baptize people. I want to refer you to scripture that states it is our duty, "To baptize all nations in the Name of the Father, the Name of the Son, and in the Name of the Holy Ghost" (Matthew 28:19). This is the Great Commission, the last commandment Christ Jesus gave to His disciples before ascending into heaven. That is OUR DUTY, and anything else, is what the Pharisees used to do, make up their own rules to fit their narrative. The Bible tells us that in order to enter the kingdom of heaven, our righteousness must surpass the righteousness of the Pharisees and Scribes (Matthew 5:20). The scriptures also tells us that Christ Jesus told John the Baptist that it was necessary for John to baptize Him......TO FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS (Matthew 3:15). I want to leave you with this, if baptism wasn't necessary, why did Paul (of whom you quote so much) rebaptize the disciples that had not received the Holy Ghost? If it is not important, why did he do that? Paul had asked them if they had received the Holy Ghost since they believed (BAPTIZED) (Acts 19:2). The disciples told Paul that they had never heard of the Holy Ghost, and that they were baptized in John's baptism, so Paul rebaptized them in the Name of Jesus Christ, and when he put his on hands on them, they then received the Holy Ghost (Acts 19:2-7). If you are to preach, preach righteousness, not as the scribes and pharisees. "Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge; ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered" (Luke 11:52). If you want further proof, "He that believeth and is BAPTIZED shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be DAMNED" (Mark 16:16).
@@jesuschristsavesu The one specific condition required for salvation is stated in the second part of Mark 16:16: “Whoever does not believe will be condemned.” In essence, Jesus has given both the positive condition of belief (whoever believes will be saved) and the negative condition of unbelief (whoever does not believe will be condemned). Therefore, we can say with absolute certainty that belief is the requirement for salvation. More importantly, we see this condition restated positively and negatively throughout Scripture (John 3:16; John 3:18; John 3:36; John 5:24; John 6:53-54; John 8:24; Acts 16:31).
Jesus mentions a condition related to salvation (baptism) in Mark 16:16. But a related condition should not be confused with a requirement. For example, having a fever is related to being ill, but a fever is not required for illness to be present. Nowhere in the Bible do we find a statement such as “whoever is not baptized will be condemned.” Therefore, we cannot say that baptism is necessary for salvation based on Mark 16:16 or any other verse.
Does Mark 16:16 teach that baptism is necessary for salvation? No, it does not. It clearly establishes that belief is required for salvation, but it does not prove or disprove the idea of baptism being a requirement. How can we know, then, if one must be baptized in order to be saved? We must look to the full counsel of God’s Word. Here is a summary of the evidence:
1-The Bible is clear that we are saved by faith alone. Abraham was saved by faith, and we are saved by faith (Romans 4:1-25; Galatians 3:6-22).
2-Throughout the Bible, in every dispensation, people have been saved without being baptized. Every believer in the Old Testament (e.g., Abraham, Jacob, David, Solomon) was saved but not baptized. The thief on the cross was saved but not baptized. Cornelius was saved before he was baptized (Acts 10:44-46).
3-Baptism is a testimony of our faith and a public declaration that we believe in Jesus Christ. The Scriptures tell us that we have eternal life the moment we believe (John 5:24), and belief always comes before being baptized. Baptism does not save us any more than walking an aisle or saying a prayer saves us. We are saved when we believe.
4-The Bible never says that if one is not baptized then he is not saved.
5-If baptism were required for salvation, then no one could be saved without another party being present. Someone must be there to baptize a person before he can be saved. This effectively limits who can be saved and when he can be saved. The consequences of this doctrine, when carried to a logical conclusion, are devastating. For example, a soldier who believes on the battlefield but is killed before he can be baptized would go to hell.
6-Throughout the Bible we see that at the point of faith a believer possesses all the promises and blessings of salvation (John 1:12; 3:16; 5:24; 6:47; 20:31; Acts 10:43; 13:39; 16:31). When one believes, he has eternal life, does not come under judgment, and has passed from death into life (John 5:24)-all before he or she is baptized.
If you believe in baptismal regeneration, you would do well to prayerfully consider whom or what you are really putting your trust in. Is your faith in a physical act (being baptized) or in the finished work of Christ on the cross? Whom or what are you trusting for salvation? Is it the shadow (baptism) or the substance (Jesus Christ)? Our faith must rest in Christ alone. “We have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace” (Ephesians 1:7).
@@Sapari1 A Believer is a Baptized Christian as given by Our Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19), and anything else is being disobedient to the gospel of Christ Jesus. Answer me why the disciples who had not received the Holy Ghost whom Paul had to REBAPTIZE them because they were baptized in John's baptism only, have to be baptized again if it is not important? It is essential that the scripture be followed to the letter, otherwise, you are no better than the Pharisees and scribes of that timeframe that persecuted Christ Jesus on the cross. Please answer me why those disciples had to be REBAPTIZED (Acts 19:2-7) to received the Holy Ghost if baptism isn't essential?
@@jesuschristsavesu During Paul’s third missionary journey, he encountered some men who are described as “disciples” who had not yet received the Holy Spirit. Luke recounts the incident: “Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples and asked them, ‘Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?’ They answered, ‘No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.’ So Paul asked, ‘Then what baptism did you receive?’ ‘John’s baptism,’ they replied. Paul said, ‘John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.’ On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. There were about twelve men in all” (Acts 19:1-7).
We know that, when a person is born again, the Holy Spirit takes up residence in that person’s life (1 Corinthians 6:19). If a person does not have the Holy Spirit, then he does not belong to Christ (Romans 8:9). So why is it that these men in Ephesus did not have the Holy Spirit, when it seems that they had believed?
The key is that they had not yet believed in Christ. They did not know about Jesus’ saving work (or the Holy Spirit’s indwelling) until they met Paul. A careful reading of the first part of Acts 19 reveals several facts about this group of twelve men: 1) They were “disciples”-but not of Christ. Rather, they were self-identified disciples of John the Baptist (verse 3). 2) They were not believers in the risen Lord Jesus Christ-Paul’s question about their conversion experience reveals that they knew nothing of the Spirit or His power (verse 2). 3) They had taken the first step-repentance of sins-but they had not taken the corresponding step-faith in Christ.
In short, the “Ephesus Dozen” were still living under the Old Testament economy. They saw the need of repentance and were still awaiting the Messiah. They did not know the Christian message.
A further clue of their spiritual condition is found in the preceding chapter. Apollos, an Alexandrian Jew and a skillful orator, had been preaching in Ephesus (Acts 18:24). However, “he knew only the baptism of John” (verse 25). The only information Apollos had about Jesus was what he had heard from John; thus, he knew Jesus was the Messiah, but he knew nothing of Jesus’ sacrificial death and resurrection. Two believers in Ephesus, Priscilla and Aquila, took Apollos aside and “explained to him the way of God more adequately” (verse 26). After he understood and received the gospel, Apollos became a great apologist for the Lord Jesus (verse 28).
It would seem that the twelve men whom Paul encountered were some of Apollos’ followers. They had been baptized for repentance, but they had not heard the whole gospel message. Paul filled them in on the details of Jesus’ death and resurrection-the essential elements of the gospel-and told them to believe (Acts 19:4). Once the men received Christ by faith, the Holy Spirit, true to form, filled them with His presence. They became new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17).
John the Baptist’s ministry was one of preparation for people to receive Christ (Mark 1:2). He preached repentance of sins, and, as people repented, they showed their change of heart by an outward cleansing. But simply repenting of sin is not enough. We must have Christ. John himself understood the limitations of his ministry: “I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire” (Matthew 3:11).
Those who, like Apollos and the “Ephesus Dozen,” stopped with John’s baptism only had half the story. They needed more than repentance; they needed faith in Christ. The disciples in Ephesus heard about Jesus from Paul the apostle, Jesus’ representative (Acts 9:15). As they received his message, they were baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, and they received the Holy Spirit in a way that publicly, unmistakably linked them to the gospel as preached by Paul.
“For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body-whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free-and we were all given the one Spirit to drink” (1 Corinthians 12:13).
Faith is a work John 6:28-29
All the conversions in the book of Acts-the three thousand at Pentecost in chapter 2,the jailor, Lydia,Eutopia eunuch, Cornelius and his household & even Paul the Apostle himself were baptised.They received Salvation at the point of baptism.This is so clear and not even ambiguous.There's not a single mention in the bible of someone receiving Salvation by "accepting Christ as Lord & personal savior & pray Him into your heart".This incorrect doctrine has been plauguing the Christian faith for centuries!
I'll continue to put my trust and faith in the Blood of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of my sins. And not a tub of water.
@@merrelise33 You can't claim to have faith in Christ yet not obey his commandment to be baptized and teach false doctrine. The irony of this entire mentality is not only is there never a Sinner's Prayer ever mentioned in Scripture, but read any of the early church writings and you'll see baptism is clearly shown to be a requirement in Salvation.
Acts chapter 2 Peter gives the first sermon of the Church, telling them the Gospel of Jesus Christ, he quotes from Prophets such as Joel, who ends off in Acts 2:21, saying, "And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Then when Peter ends off his sermon, he says in Acts 2:36, "Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified." So Peter is telling them the Lord to whom they are to call upon is Jesus.
Acts 2:37 the crowd clearly understood this and ask Peter, "Brethren what shall we do?" Or in other words, "How can we call upon the Name of the Lord?"
Peter says, in Acts 2:38, "Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."
Now some would claim the greek word "eis" here means "because" and not "for" which is odd as you'd think the majority of Bible translations would've caught onto this, but no say for a select few, nearly every single translation puts it as "for," why? Because as they would tell you the word eis here is clearly pointing towards baptism being needed to obey the Gospel and receive the forgiveness of sins.
But isn't baptism a work? You tell me, it's odd that faith is an action we do, repentance is an action we do, yet baptism is the only thing that's actually done unto you, in other words, for something that's supposedly a work it's the one part you can't actually do to yourself, as is shown when Peter says, "be baptized," not, "baptize yourself for the forgiveness of sins."
@@CullenTBridges We are saved by grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ. I don't believe in the Sinner's Prayer for salvation. Anyone can say a few words but it still not mean anything.

Baptism is a profession afterwards to state that a person has put his or her faith in Christ's blood for remission of sins.

@@merrelise33 I find it odd you did not answer one single thing I brought before you.

@@CullenTBridges I don't have to answer a single question from you. You stick with your belief, and I'll stick with mine. I believe in God's grace. Look at the thief on the cross. He was never baptized. He simply put his one time faith into Christ right before he passed. And Christ saved him!!! The thief didn't have any good works to offer Christ.
I was baptized after I put my faith into Christ's finished work on the cross. But I knew that it wasn't the baptism that saved me. I was simply letting everyone know I trusted Jesus Christ, and nothing else, for salvation.
you cite Romans 5:8 by saying "jesus christs death alone paid for our sins" but Romans 5:8 doesnt say anything close to that.
also you cite Titus 3:5 for salvation by faith alone yet Titus 3:5 says:
5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit
why are you using this to say works cant be required for salvation when this verse clearly shows that he saved us through baptism?
brother why are you twisting the word of God?
Romans 5:8 would talk about us being baptized if it were so necessary but it only talks about God dying for us, while we were sinners, not God dying for us and us baptizing ourselves while we were still sinners. And Titus 3:5 is talking about the Spiritual baptism of the Holy Spirit, not the symbolic physical water baptism.
Not to mention his terrible argument from Corinthians. I mean it seriously says “or were you baptized in the name of Paul” a few verses earlier. Ridiculous,,,, it disgusts me that if Baptism is required he is aiding in the bastardizing of souls.
Titus 3:5 reads that the Lord saves us" by the washing of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Spirit".
As the result of being water baptized after repentance is that the Holy Spirit circumcises our conscience, removing the guilt from past sins, and restoring it to its original childlike sensitivity to sin. This makes water baptism regeneration and being " born of the water"
Regeneration is defined as returning something to its original state.
