There is only one place in the KJV where the question, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" was asked. That is in Acts 16:30. The question was asked by a jailer in the Roman colony of Philippi. He asked that question to the Apostles Paul and Silas. The Apostolic answer was, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house" ( Acts 16:31).
So, for the record, the only time in the Bible that an Apostle is asked
what must I do to be saved
is answered by an Apostle
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.
This is not meant to minimize the ritual of water baptism. We read that the Apostles spoke the Word of the Lord to the jailer and his family and that they all were subsequently baptized in water. The record goes on to say that the jailer and his family believed in God. There is no mention as to whether or not some or all received the Holy Ghost Baptism. |
Sam, what exactly were the men in
Acts 2 asking?
What must we do.........? to avoid the wrath of Christ?
What must we do........? to rectify our grave error?
What must we do........? We murdered our Savior!!!
Or, Peter, now that you have told us who we murdered, is there anything we can do to avoid judgement from the King of kings and Lord of lords?
IOW, why did they ask, What shall we do?
Are you serious in thinking and believing that they were not asking how to be saved, delivered, etc?
