You might want to keep reading in Acts 16, v32 " They spoke the WORD OF THE LORD TO HIM and all his house, and he took them the same hour.....and he was baptized at once, with all his family......and he REJOICED WITH ALL HIS FAMILY THAT HE HAD BELIEVED IN GOD." So, tell us, how did he know about baptism? when it says he "spoke the word of the Lord to him"? So, speaking the word of the Lord includes preaching baptism. Next is v34 it says, " he had BELIEVED IN GOD", he BELIEVED IN GOD WHEN he was baptized, a baptized believer.
In Acts 8 it says that Philip preached Jesus to the Eunuch and it says that they came to some water and the Eunuch said, " here is water, what prevents me from being baptized". So, how did the Eunuch know about baptism? when it says that Philip preached Jesus to him?
In Acts 10 it says that Peter was to preach to the Gentiles all the things that were commanded by the Lord and in v48 it says they were COMMANDED TO BE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF JESUS, so baptism in the name of Jesus is a command of the Lord.
Lastly, tell us who the "BELIEVED" IS IN ACTS 2:44, it is those who had received the word and were baptized....in v41. So, who is the "BELIEVED" in Acts 16:34? So, in Acts 16:31 to believe in Jesus is to be baptized into him...,
Also, since you believe in OSAS, after you believe, tell us what else you must do in the entire bible to be saved?....the answer is nothing.....according to GES
In terms of salvation, GES is correct . If you are saved, you should believe that. Most of the Bible is about service. Learn to rightly divide scripture!
@@gregorylatta8159 What service must we do? tell us.....if we don't do service, will we be lost? if not, then we do not have to do service...
@@gregorylatta8159 So, what service must we do? Will we be lost if we do no service? GES says, NO you won't, so I ask again, what else must we do in the bible? besides John 3:16?
