It doesn't get any clearer than that!! Keep preaching the Truth brother Don
God Bless you Don.
Spot on. Prayer is our work. Baptism is God’s (Colossians 2:12).
@@TheHeavenTestdotnet-gr2ou It begins with Acts 2:38. You can accept Jesus but, baptism is how He accepts you.
Thank you, Don. ❤
Your welcome
The holy Scripture tells it like it is. This seriously needs to be understood. Thanks for the enlightenment.
Great lesson, Don!!
I was thinking this for long time.
Thank you for sharing Don.
I pray for you to better walk .

Thank you for an excellent lesson.
Better to follow the ruote as found in the Bible teaching than trying finding another ruote,where we may lost and drift away.Our emotion,mind fluctuates but God's word remains the same.Repeal of God's word is also sinful.
Very good, the only thing with which I would take issue in the ESV translation of 1 Peter 3:21. When it says that we are not saved by the putting away of the filth of the flesh (KJV), it’s not talking about washing dirt from our skin, it’s a parallel to Hebrews 9:13-14. The blood sacrifices of the OT provided complete forgiveness of sin, (Leviticus 4:20, 26, 31, 35, 5:10, 13, 16, 18, 6:7, 19:22). Leviticus 4, 5, & 6:1-7 deal with the burnt offerings commanded by God to atone for sin. In each case we read the emphatic statement that through the animal sacrifices “They shall be forgiven.” That is the putting away of the filth of the flesh or sanctified to the purifying of the flesh. But Peter is saying that even though forgiveness is included in our baptism into Christ it is not what saves us but rather our conscience is purged from dead works, that is ,when the old man is crucified with Him and the body of sin is destroyed, from that point on the motions of sin no longer work in our members to bring forth fruit into death. (Romans 7;5-6) So then we have a pure conscience void of offense toward God and man. (Acts 24:16) That’s salvation from sin promised by the angel to Joseph in Matthew 1:21. It’s always best to stick with the 1611 KJV ❤️
Keep in mind that 1 Peter 3:21 does say "baptism doth also now save us".
@@kent7057 True fact that!
we pray that you can walk again sir ....things getting easier these days but not this kind of prayer no instant salvation written in the New Testament ....we have a baptized believer's prayer that the world may turn upside down...Amen!
People are quoting John 3:16. That statement was BEFORE the Great Commission was instituted where baptism for all is
a condition. Further, even in Jn 3:16 it says those who believe SHOULD be saved not ARE saved. Many people BELIEVE that Jesus
is Christ and the Son of God but refuse to follow him as Lord. Are they saved? True belief is Jesus as LORD means to do what He
says without hesitation nor quibble with reference to baptism. Can you imaging as person claiming Jesus as his LORD and
just refusing or putting off to do the very first outward act of obedience He asks one to do? Of course not.
@@TheHeavenTestdotnet-gr2ou Acts 8: 12 partially answers your question. The topic of Jn 3:5 is about entering the Kingdom of God. Under the Great Commission, Phillip preached to the Samaritans about that topic ( good news about entering the Kingdom of God) and they were baptized. Later this same man (Phillip) preached to the Eunuch in vs 36 and the Eunuch said " there is water , can I get baptized?" All of this taken together shows the topic of Jn 3:5 being implemented under the Great Commission. HGence, water in Jn 3: 5 has reference to water baptism .
@@TheHeavenTestdotnet-gr2ou Read the Great Commission. Then read Acts 8:12 and 36 to see how Jn 3:5 is understood under the umbrella of the Great Commission rather than BEFORE the Great Commission as you are affirming. Your are using data from the wrong point in time.
@@TheHeavenTestdotnet-gr2ou Read Acts 2.38. When the Jews asked what they should do, Peter did not say "do nothing more bc you already believe ! " or that "you can do nothing bc God has already chosen from eternity who will be saved:" No he told them to repent + be baptized unto remission of sins and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."
This promise is to everyone ( Acts 2:39). Why quibble? Just follow what the inspired Peter said and have the
blessings he stated.
Go back and carefully listen to Don.
@@TheHeavenTestdotnet-gr2ou Very simple. Jesus is answering the question Nicodemus asked. How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb and be born? This is born of water, when the water sack breaks. Jesus said you must be born both ways to enter the Kingdom. Just because Jesus was speaking in general terms doesn’t mean that salvation comes from saying “the sinner’s prayer.” No such concept is taught anywhere in the scriptures. No one was born again until after Christ’s death, burial and resurrection. Then Jesus told them what to do to make disciples. Baptize them so that the old sinful man that we inherited when the water broke, could be crucified and the body of sin destroyed in baptism. (Romans 6:3-7) This is born again, when the old man is crucified and the new man rises. Ephesians 5:25-27 says that He sanctifies and cleanses His church with the washing of WATER according to the word. It then becomes a glorious church, without spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, but be holy and without blemish! Then according to Hebrews 12:28-29, His grace gives us the power to serve Him acceptably with reverence and Godly fear, and thereby escape the consuming fire.
If u try to mention the JESUS PRAYER then no
God does have an ordained process or procedure of accepting His gift of salvation best expressed in Acts 18:8, hearing, believing, and being baptized. It is God's prerogative to select the process that He wants for individuals to come to Him, and He has chosen hearing, believing, and being baptized. Every detailed account of conversion in Acts follows this process. Acts 2, 8, 9/22, 10/11, 16, 18, 19. Those Ephesians who were saved by grace through faith (Eph. 2:8), also followed this same God ordained procedure in Acts 19:1-5, culminating in baptism in the name of the Lord, which is water baptism, see Acts 10:47-48.
WHEN HIS CHILDREN ARE REDEMED THEY ARE ALL; READY BOUT WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST HE IS NOT IN THE PROCES OF REDEEMING THEM THEY ARE HIS 4 EVER ,,,,,OSAS ,,. IS THE DNA OF JESUS CHRIST Now its up to the reader to do with Jesus Christ ALONE Or your spiritual PUSH UPS to help Jesus Christ out ...
@@theodoreritola7641 So you latch onto 2 or 3 verses and forget the rest? Study the scriptures not the hand out tracts. There are more than 4 spiritual laws.
Tom are you afraid to TRUST BELIEVE Jesus Christ ONLY for your salvation ? He knows your heart Tom ,Jesus Christ knows me, Tom I put ALL my trust in my Redeemer ALONE, Tom if your trust is in your self you are in very bad shape on JUDGEMENT DAY. you can quote all the verses ou want to. but if you dont BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST ONLY TO SAVE YOU, .HE WILL TELL YOU TO DEPART FROM HIM HE NEVER KNEW YOU
@@theodoreritola7641 Jesus said, “if you love me keep my commandments.” So when He said,” He that believes and is baptized shall be saved.” (Mark 16:16) I’m not afraid to obey him. Are you? You can’t say that you believe in Jesus if you don’t follow all that He and His apostles said was the gospel. When asked at Pentecost, What must we do? Peter didn’t say to bow your heads and raise your hands and say the sinner’s prayer, he said, “Repent and be baptized everyone of you for the REMISSION OF SIN, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” (Acts 2;38) Are you afraid to obey this command, or to acknowledge it as the truth. Don’t be afraid to obey God instead of the evangelicals. ❤️
That means to believe on who he sent and to believe him AND I DO OBEY HIM. but you are a friaid to trust Jesus Christ alone. thats why u r a WORKER and NOT a believer in Jesus Christ thats all on YOU Tom
DuBuque Brook
Been there than that😂
God looks at our heat IF HE knows that you belive his son jesus christ died for all your sins that person is his 4 ever Jesus Christ NEVER LIES PERIOD.... JOHN CH 3 VS 16 IS THE GOSPEL JesusGives ,,,,,,, EVER LASTING LIFE,,, TO WHOEVER BELIVES IN HIM PERIOD
That's not the only verse in the bible, however belief is part of it!
One must HEAR the gospel Romans 10:17
BELIEVE Hebrews 11:6 & Mark 16: 15-16 & Acts 16:31
REPENT Acts 17:30
CONFESS Romans 10:9-10
and be BAPTIZED for the remission of sins Acts 2:38
and live faithful until death Rev 2:10
We love you and hope you obey the Gospel!!!
James 2:19 (KJV)
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
In fact, you should study that entire chapter.
@@TheHeavenTestdotnet-gr2ou then why is it in the Canon? You can’t pick and choose, plus it’s all inspired. 2 Timothy 3:16 (KJV)
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
SO YOU trust your works more thanJesus christ for your salvation Jesus Christ knows your heart and knows if you trust him alone
@@theodoreritola7641 you’re missing the point of the “whole” Bible. Of course my works can’t save me. Study Romans and Galatians. But it does require an obedient, working faith.
It doesn't say exactly that in scripture, but the principle is still found in Romans 10:9-10 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will saved. That is basically what this prayer is saying that Jesus is Lord and Savior and confessing that with the mouth. So, even though it doesn't explicitly say in the Bible pray this way, I believe that someone can truly be saved that way based on Roman's 10:9-10. It also says Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved
Great verses to mention! But Ephesians 2:8 says "for by grace ye are saved through faith" (KJV). No need for confession nor believing in the heart. Or if we go with Acts 2:38 we need to repent and be baptized. Actually, Luke 13:3 mentions repenting to avoid perishing. Still the thief on the cross defended Jesus' innocence, acknowledged His kingdom, and let Jesus speak him to Paradise (Luke 23:40-43). The point is thus: only considering one set of Bible verses to find the way to salvation is not advisable. We must consider the whole New Testament.
“And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.”
Acts 22:16 KJV
That should make it clear what calling on the name of the Lord means. It begins with baptism and continues through a life of calling upon the name of the Lord for all of our needs and to praise Him.
The sinner's prayer and once saved always saved are doctrines of demons
Calvinists to be precise. 😊
@dB_944 Same thing. John Calvin was no different than the Pope. He used the police state of government to have his religious opponents executed. It's difficult to believe that he has any followers once his atrocities are revealed and the forgotten truth is exposed.
JESUS CHRIST TOUGHT OSAS REMEMBER JOHN CH 3 VS 16 ? NOW quit slapping JESUS CHRIST IN THE FACE AND CALLING HIM A LIAR, I know him as my personal REDEEMER my self, I hope you repent and TRUST JESUS CHRIST ONLY FOR YOUR SALVATION .
In baptism The body of the sins of the flesh is destroyed by FAITH in the operation of God, who raised Jesus from the dead. (Colossians 2:10-12) That’s how we are saved by faith. Calvinists invented, “faith alone,” to negate God’s operation in baptism. Baptism isn’t salvation, it is only the starting point to a life of holiness that leads to the end, everlasting life. (Romans 6:22) Then we live a life of grace through faith to serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear, thereby avoiding the consuming fire. (Hebrews 12:28-29)
@@theodoreritola7641I’ve done all that so according to you I’m saved. But if you deny the operation of God In baptism, (Colossians 2:10-13) and you are still committing sin, (making you a slave to sin with no access to God’s forever house, / John 8:31-36) then you’re not. Think about it.🤔 I said IF because I don’t know you and God is the final Judge. Just want you to think about it. ❤️
Why don't you actually tell the Truth!
?????
Tell us where (in the Bible) it says to be saved for eternity by saying a little prayer??
So confessing jesus wont save you, but baptism does.. so water save now? Haha 🤣
Faith saves by the operation of God. (Colossians 2:10-13) That’s how we are saved by faith. Faith means believing and obeying what the scriptures say.
Gospel broadcasting network, Christians can't believe what you say, because you make things up, things that oppose the Bible. I take it you haven't read
Rom 10: 8--10.
Saul was saved in Acts 9: 6, stop deceiving people. Acts 22: 16, in the Biblical Greek says.
Arise and be baptised Because your sins have ALREADY BEEN WASHED AWAY when you called on the name of the Lord, Acts 9: 7
Nowhere does the Biblical Greek say water baptism saves, remits sins, washes sins away, regenerates, puts people into the body of Christ or is needed for salvation.
Stop twisting the scriptures and stop deceiving people.
Don is not saying that "baptism alone" saves. Jesus saves. Read other responses people have given who believe the same as Don.
As per your Greek, the respected Greek Lexicon Thayer defines faith as " trust conjoined with obedience".
This would fit Mk 16:16 to a "t". A person who claims to have faith in Jesus and quibbles about being baptized as the first act of outward obedience he asks one to comply with is just deceiving himself. That's not a " trust conjoined with obedience".
@@JohnLankford-n4b Don believes baptism is needed for salvation, and that's an erroneous belief.
@@alanhales6369What is the purpose of baptism, according to the Bible?
@@soundpreacher baptism is identifying with whoever you are baptised into.
The children of Israel were baptised into Moses. 1 Cor 10: 2.
The disciples of John the Baptist were baptised into John. Acts 19: 3
Christians are symbolically baptised into Jesus. Gal 3: 26--27.
