baptized in a like matter unto, not for the remitting of our sins.
[color=red]Baptism is the ONLY way to remit the curse.
You say Christ commanded it but it does not save us?
Romans 6:3-4 is also used to support "Baptism Regeneration." I encourage you to read it, just keep in mind that it has "like" in there indicating baptism is nothing more than a command of Christ to all believers.
If Christ says something you better be obedient to it.
baptism is symbolic if you do not agree then you disagree with the apostles.????????????????
two questions did The apostle say believe and be baptism to be saved or they they say believe and you will be saved and after they said yes they were baptism?
Believe and be baptized in the name of Jesus
this shows that confessing with our mouth is made unto salvation as romans 10:9-10 says and if they said Yes THEN they were baptism as symbolic dying with Christ.
Without baptism there is NO salvation.
the real change is somone is when they Believe and baptism is symbolic of the change we receive ONCE WE BELIEVE.
In Your Words
Or was he saved when he first heard peter and believe?
Baptism in Jesus name.
You are certainly dull of hearing.
Believe and be baptized, that is correct.
Except a man be born of the water and of the spirit he can not enter the kingdom.
John 3
1There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of
water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
22After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
23And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
It is really so very clear yet you fight the truth.
Nope it clear you mis-used scripture to twist the truth i will deal with this passage later
