I call it your lie because of these two verses.
Acts 2:38-39
King James Version
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
King James Version
16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
Can you see what they say?

If you have something to add to the discussion...
add it.
Otherwise disappear like you usually do.
Did YOU get kicked off the other Forum?

@HeIsJeff.Jeff? Lmao
This is hilarious. Thank you for the inspiration.
I will call him Jeff starting from today.
That is where babies come out?
Turn the book right side up, and read it again.
Kinda hypocritical coming from someone that claims drinking alcohol is a sin but can’t provide scripture to prove it.
Can you see what the verses I quoted say?
The people of Israel were and are the most deceived people on this planet. I wouldn't count on my heritage for any truth.
The Lord Jesus Christ apposed those practices. If Israel saw and knew the truth, we would be in the millennium.
Amen! Either we are depending 100% on Jesus' finished work of redemption as the ALL-sufficient means of our salvation or else we are 100% lost. (Acts 10:43; 13:38-39; 15:7-9; Romans 1:16; 3:24-26; 4:5-6; 1 Corinthians 1:18-21; 15:1-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21 etc..).I’m depending 100% on Jesus’ work and 0% on my work.

And Yet? You claim that there was another Gospel and Israel needed water baptism to be saved. Please clarify.
The message Peter presented included quotes from Joel and the Psalms that drew a massive crowd of Jews to the Messiah. The fulfillment was in line with the purpose of the feast:
Acts 2:30-37
Therefore being a prophet, (David) and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Until I make thy foes thy footstool. (Psa. 110:1)
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ."
Note: The hearers of Peter's message would have understood the connection between Jesus, the risen Messiah, and the Jewish Feast of Pentecost, the second harvest, they were currently attending. Now it all made sense. Jesus was the Passover lamb, and the firstfruit of the Firstfruits harvest; He rose, and others came out of their graves as well when Jesus was resurrected. (Matt. 27:53)
Back to Acts 2, the next verse indicates the hearers wanted to know what they must do in order to be part of this the beginning of the second harvest. Pentecost was the fourth feast held fifty days after Firstfruits; where more crops were harvested then at Firstfruits.
"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? Peter said, Repent, and be baptized EVERYONE of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin and you shall receive the Holy Ghost." (37-38) The same message was then carried into all nations.
Consider, the second harvest in Leviticus is a foreshadow concerning both Jew and Gentile. (23:17) The instruction includes two wave loaves of equal weight and baked with leaven that are called "firstfruits". That the loaves are baked with leaven represents sinful man. And beings they are "firstfruits" they are redeemed men. The harvest that began at Pentecost continues. (3000 died at the giving of the OT law at Mt. Sinai, and 3000 were saved after belief and obedience to the NT gospel.)
"Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the Lord."
As you referenced, Paul's comment concerning salvation in 1 Cor. 15:1-4 indicates everyone must believe is that Jesus' died, was buried, and resurrected. And as I pointed out the scripture reveals that is the first thing that all must believe; there is more to the gospel message.
Per your statement concerning the wall of partition. According to Ephesians 2:14-16, Jesus dealt with the wall of partition between Jew and Gentile at the cross, during his crucifixion.
Lastly, water baptism is by no means a badge of merit. But rather God offering forgiveness to everyone who believes and obeys the command in association with Jesus sacrifice; regardless of this fact not a single person deserves it=unmerited favor.
Your insistance that I am preaching another gospel does not make it true, and is grossly unfounded.
The command to be water baptized in the name of Jesus for remission of sin was not part of the OT law. The command was initiated in the NT on the Day of Pentecost.
WILL YOU GLADLY RECEIVED HIS WORD?
You're steering many away from the truth. And that is really sad. The truth is this: your fellow Jews insisted that NT believers who had already obeyed the commands presented at Pentecost be required to obey the OT command of circumcision as well. (Acts 15:5-10) That was the issue.
Paul never discouraged people from being water baptized, and he referenced and provided indepth details about it, And I don't know how often I have to say it, but Paul was still water baptizing people 20+ years after Pentecost. (Acts 19:1-7) If, as you suggest, it was an OT command why would Paul have water baptized anyone? He wouldn't have. But he did as scripture reveals time and again.
No matter how many times you say it, water baptism in the name of Jesus for remission of sin is not part of the OT law. Period. So stop leading people astray.
I do believe that Cornelius was saved.
However, he also did not know about being baptized.
Once we come to know this...
then it does become a requirement.
