Amen.

It is disingenuous to say that baptism is necessary, but not for salvation.

Anything necessary is necessary for salvation or it isn't necessary at all.

(Mark 16:16)

1Peter 3:21 in the same:

And baptism, which is a figure [of their deliverance], does now also save you [from inward questionings and fears], not by the removing of outward body filth [bathing], but by [providing you with] the answer of a good and clear conscience (inward cleanness and peace) before God [because you are demonstrating what you believe to be yours] through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 3:21)

In Mark 16:16, why did Jesus not say that he who does not believe nor is baptized is condemned, only he that does not believe. And 1Peter 3:21 says that baptism is for our salvation from inward questionings. Using these scriptures to enforce baptism as salvational is simply in error.

The Amplified is the word of God PLUS someone's opinion

We must realize that without faith it is impossible to please God. Now, which is faith, to say that we have turned from our sins to the ways of Christ, or that we have turned from our sins and must be baptized by a man or woman to become acceptable unto Christ. Where is the faith in the first, and where is the faith in the latter?

It seems you are defining works here as anything a person does, that means you believe repentance is a work too and therefore not necessary. What about the fact that WE believe IN Him. Believing is something you do also.

False doctrine is false doctrine.

It is ironic that Epley says trinitarians are lost and going to hell for their false doctrine. Yet he will welcome Benicasasa through the pearly gates even though he calls Benicasa's prophetic views a damnable heresy.

I love Bro. Bennicassa but he knows I do not believe a person can be a FP and go in the rapture.
