Mark 1:5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.

Absolutely he knows. God's foreknowledge

Mark 16:15-16 15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Pretty clear what it is

Obedience to commandments must mean something and they are for a reason otherwise they are vain and God is not vain nor does he require you to do vain, meaningless things. They are necessary. Baptism is a commandment that must be obeyed on order to be saved. That's clearly what the scriptures say.

Don't stop at verse 1, that'll get you in trouble with scripture. Read a bit further, like through verse 3. See below. It goes on to say what? It says we must keep his commandments: and what are they? They include NOT just belief, but faith, confession of your belief as did the Ethiopian eunuch...

I'm not playing anymore stupid games with you. C Ya

You've drifted way off the original conversation. But Christ is the rock, the chief cornerstone. Psalm 118:22 Isaiah 28:16 Acts 4:10-11

Jesus himself is the rock, the chief cornerstone as referenced elsewhere.

Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And Acts 2:38-47 tells you how, the process by which Jesus accomplishes building his church. Jesus adds you to the church upon being baptized...

What is your point?

All scripture relating to salvation. It's all consistent. Who builds the church means what??

Depends what you're being disobedient to. If you're talking about Mark 16:15-16 specifically, and you choose to ignore it, then absolutely it negates salvation. How can it not?? Read the words. "Believeth and is baptized". Belief is conditioned by baptism and likewise baptism is conditioned by...

What I realize is that it's the word of God spoken of by Christ himself and must be obeyed. Disobey if you like at your own peril.

The word of God which is and should be our only guide. Trusting in Jesus is following and trusting in what he said to do. The below scripture in Jesus own words are pretty clear. Mark 16:15-16 15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He...

I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to say, but the bottom line is salvation doesn't occur until you've done all that's required of you, physically as well whether it serves a symbolic nature or not. The gospel is simple. It was simple in biblical times and should be as simple, it mankind...

Having a change of heart doesn't save, it's a step, step 2 towards salvation subsequent to belief. After having a change of mind and heart you must be further obedient which requires baptism for the forgiveness of your sins. Sins are NOT forgiven by belief and/or having a change of mind a d...

100% absolutely according to scripture

Your belief that you were saved before baptism is vain, it's not in accordance with scripture. Acts 2:38 very clearly tells you that. It says to repent AND be baptized: Why? For what reason? For the remission (forgiveness) of sins. So it's not until you're baptized that your sins are forgiven...

Read your first sentence. It's not possible to be "born again" before you were baptized. How can you be born again while still in sin? You may think you were, but you weren't. Totally unscriptural.

There are not numerous ways to be saved or "come to know Jesus" if you equate being saved with that. When you look at all pertinent scriptures regarding salvation, you end up with a short list if what is required to be saved. 1. Belief and faith 2. Confession of your belief 3. Repentance 4...
