If I believe the ceiling is about to fall and I do not move.. do I really believe?

How is the blood applied to our life? BY FAITH

How is faith expressed? Through Works

If Faith has not the work of baptism.. then it is not faith at all because faith without this work does not exist.. it is dead

I just wonder what Paul was talking about when he explains salvation to Agrippa... and he says these words


Acts 26:20 - But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and [then] to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.

DO WHAT? REPENT and something else is required as well? Surely not? What does Paul mean DO WORKS... in conjunction with Repentance but not just any works.. works that are MEET FOR REPENTANCE

now,, we gotta find out what "MEET" means

AXIOS - weighing, having weight, having the weight of another thing of like value, worth as much

2) befitting, congruous, corresponding to a thing

Paul said that our WORKS in Repentance should be WORTH AS MUCH as the actual Repentance they should be BEFITTING of Repntance....

Now wait.. we need two witnesses on this to confirm this is water baptism... so follow me to Jesus Baptism.. when he is rebuking the Pharisees for their mocking his Baptism.. he tells them that they should also be baptized

Matt 3:8 - Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance
