So, you were unable to show me a verse in the Bible that states, "whoever is not baptized will not be saved." Case closed.
Why wouldn’t you choose the argument of how one is saved tho? And tell
People about that
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
why would all believers just believe and share that with people lol ? Rather than hear it and then say …” I wonder if I choose not to get baptized and not believe what he said if I’ll still
Be saved ? Since he never explicitly said it ……I’ll argue there’s a loophole 😅
what are we doing to one another as a group of
believers
why do we here what God said and then we construct arguments against it rather than just accepting it and sharing the part he said will save people ? Instead of hearing what he said will save then debating whether we should
Believe it ? Or create an argument of why it’s not necassary ?
remember this ?
“And the LORD God commanded the man, saying,
Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”
Genesis 2:16-17
thats true there’s no reason to ever doubt it for Adam but then
“Now
the serpent ….
said unto the woman, Yea,
hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
And
the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
And
the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
And when
the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise,
she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.”
Genesis 3:1-6 KJV
Now they are cursed to die. The point is if we just listen to what God said about salvation and believe it there’s no reason for us to listen to the other contrary opinions we know God is the one who saves so we can just trust what he said will save but if we refuse to hear and believe what he said will save we often start to listen to others telling us other options they have constructed all by rejecting what he said and creating alternatives to what he said will save
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
what if we just let that be true and had no need to hear “ does it really say “ preach the gospel to all creation and
whoever believes and is baptized shall be saved ?”
“ you don’t really need to get baptized in his name for remission of sins listen to me instead I’ll explain salvation better and clearer and simpler than this
“preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;”
Faith preempts doubt because it accepts what God said to begin with faith knew the fruit was deadly for sure God said it was he doesn’t lie he can’t it’s impossible for him to lie.
what I mean is we should look at what he said saves us rather than looking for loopholes that can be construed as an opposite message what Jesus sent out to people will save anyone but also we have to be extremely careful this was written 1900 yea ago appx
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and
they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”
2 Timothy 4:3-4 KJV
We know who’s word is truth and eternal and will save but then there’s alot of alternatives also to what the lord said will save us
“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as
there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And
many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.”
2 Peter 2:1-2
We can’t really say Jesus brought in a damnable heresy by partaking of and teaching baptism or Peter commanding it for gentiles in acts ten those aren’t the heresies they said would come later the things telling us those aren’t true and correct doctrine would be the heresies they warned of
We should remember there’s a lot of evil and lies in the world and it’s extremely subtle it always has been just questions and suggestions when we have the plain spoken truth from God first we should just accept it and share it with others
