Must be a comprehend thing because I sure didn't see any answers just dancing.
Looks like your trying to anwer the third one, still watithing for the first 2.
1. We have to accept JESUS as our lord????
2. Being baptized is an outward confession???
WERE THEY LIES?
So many leading questions have to be asked when not just following HIS word but your own oppinon.
So NOW your saying faith in JESUS saves the same way it did Abraham.
One thing for sure according to you, when you said there are many ways to be saved you were't lying about that, of course that is what YOU think not bible.
Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
First question, just believe on him NOT WHAT HE SAYS OR WHAT WE MUST DO?
You do know Muslims who worship allah their moon god believes on JESUS but follows muhumand right?
So they are saved according to you??? How is that possible?
We are saved by faith, faith in WHAT?
Where would we be without faith AND WORKS?
What good is faith without WORKS?
These foke's were giving instructions if THEY DIDN'T HAVE FAITH AND OBEY NOTHING WOULD HAVE HAPPENED????
Acts 2:37-41
37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
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.
39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
If they didn't have faith and obey, they would have not been added.
2 Kings 5:13 And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?
14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
If they didn't have faith and obey, he would have never been clean.
The Ten Lepers (Luke 17:11-19): Jesus encounters ten lepers and tells them to "Go, show yourselves unto the priests". As they were obeying this instruction, they were cleansed. One of them, a Samaritan, returned to thank Jesus, and Jesus told him, "Rise and go; thy faith hath made thee whole".
If they didn't have faith and obey, he would not have been made whole.
The Man Born Blind (John 9:1-41): Jesus heals a man born blind by anointing his eyes with clay and telling him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam". The man obeys and receives his sight.
If they didn't have faith and obey, he would not have receives his sight.
The Man at the Pool of Bethesda (John 5:1-17): Jesus tells a man who had been infirm for thirty-eight years to "Rise, take up thy bed, and walk". The man is immediately healed and does so, according to Bible Hub. Later, Jesus finds him and says, "Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee".
If they didn't have faith and obey, he would have never stood up.
People GOD used BECAUSE OF THEIR FAITH.
Hebrews 11
1. Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3 THROUGH FAITH we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
4 BY FAITH Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
5 BY FAITH Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
7 BY FAITH Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
8 BY FAITH Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
9 BY FAITH he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11 THROUGH FAITH also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
17 BY FAITH Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
20 BY FAITH Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
21 BY FAITH Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
22 BY FAITH Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
23 By FAITH Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.
24 BY FAITH Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
27 BY FAITH he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
28 THROUGH FAITH he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
29 BY FAITH they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
30 BY FAITH the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.
31 BY FAITH the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
33 Who THROUGH FAITH subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.
34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
38 (Of whom the world was not worthy
they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
