No one is saved by water baptism... Acts 10:46-48

July 16, 2007

" For they were hearing them speaking with tongues and exalting God.

Then Peter answered,

Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized who have

received the Holy Spirit just as we [did,] can he?"

And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then

they asked him to stay on for a few days. " Acts 10:46-48

in theses verses it is conclusive that water baptism saves no one...

the baptism by the Holy Spirit does. it would be salvation by

ceremony if it were. the babbling blasphemes spewing from the RC

Catechism concerning baptism as a ceremony which forgives sins is

completely contrary to the text above, since baptism by the Holy

Spirit creates believers first and baptism with water followed.

neither is water baptism a condition to be filled in order to be

saved from eternal death, as in the case of the criminal crucified

with Christ.

what is meant by " he who has believed and has been baptized shall

be saved " ( Mk. 16:16 ) is that assent to the facts is not the

believing which saves, as in the case of Simon Magus of Acts 8:9-24

who is said to have ' believed. ' ( v. 13 ) it again is the baptism

by the Holy Spirit which saves. ( Joh. 3:6 )

Simon was attracted to miracles he saw and wanted to market them

much as the stage pentecostalists do in our time.

salvation is entirely unconditional... Lk. 4:14-30; Joh. 1:12,13;

Eph. 2:8,9 we are created in Christ to do good works not because

anyone is saved by good works. ( v. 10 )

condition filling is man's idea of righteousness by works.

" believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved "

Acts 16:31

" and as many as had been appointed to eternal life, believed."

Acts 13:48
