The art and importance of fellowshipping with Christians

 

YOU must be baptized, by immersion,
to be saved. This is not negotiable.

The proof is listed here on this page with GOD's word -
not man's. Never trust man's word ... Never.

Acts 2: 36 "Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."  37When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?"

Acts 2 38 Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off--for all whom the Lord our God will call."
40With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation." 41Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.

Baptism is imperative, an absolute requirement, to salvation. This is backed up by JESUS HIMSELF in John 3:5 - Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.

Well what about those who don't believe this?  What if I don't believe this?

JESUS again answers this with one of the most scary verses in the Bible.- John 8: 42-47  JESUS said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me. 43Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. 44You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! 46Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me? 47He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God."

Is there anything else to say?  JESUS, in John 3: 5 and John 8: 42 thru 47, says that HE is speaking the truth!  Why isn't HE  believed?  Because those who do not believe are not GOD's children!  S-C-A-R-Y!  To those who do not believe JESUS' truth I give this warning ... BE AFRAID... BE VERY AFRAID!

You can  only can debate this issue with man or woman AND they do not have the authority to change GOD's word!  In fact if they do not believe what JESUS has said, if they change what HE has said, whose child are they?  Jesus answers that too!  They are not GOD's child!
