Baptism question for One-Steppers
What do you think this verse means?
Acts 22:16 (King James Version)
16And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
Does this mean that your sins are not washed away, gone, remitted.... until baptism? If not, what does it mean?

I am a 2 stepper. Down into and under the water and then step two up and out of the water.

I am working and don't have time to answer this right now and by the time I can I will bet someone else has.
However let me ask you something about this scripture and your beliefs. Do you believe that water baptism is regenerative, that it washes away your sins?

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Baptism question for One-Steppers
I am a one stepper. I do believe eveery Christian should be baptized. 1 Pet 3:21 lets us know the water does not wash us, but rahter the blood, thru the reserection of Christ.
Major difference in one step vs three step theolgy. One steppers get baptized BECAUSE Christ has saved them thru the resurection of christ. BECAUSE they desire to proclaim their faith publicly.
Three steppers get batized to GET saved. Believing that it gives them new birth, all the while exclaiming loudly that they are NOT baptismal regenerations as are their Catholic counter parts.

I'd suggest taking a read thru the hidden thread. No room for one steppers.

Calling on the name of the Lord has everything to do with having your sins forgiven.
To thhis Jewish Rabbi named Saul to call upun the name of the Lord was dramatic.
It menat to him to trust in the one he had so vehemetly opposed.
Paul called upon (Trusted in) the name of the Lord, not some preacher dunking him a tank of water.
