But, what would YOU say?

[Abiding Now]

After reading responses on different threads, I have come to the conclusion, that if you could transport some AFF posters back to Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost and they were given the opportunity to answer the question directed to Peter and the rest of the apostles..."Men and brethren, what shall we do?".

They would NEVER answer what Peter answered.

Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Act 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

Act 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

That's true but having been on this Forum since the beginning I am encouraged about the poll results. Im shocked that of those who responded the great majority now believe baptism is part of the new birth.

I would have thought it would be the other way around. Glad to see truth making a comeback here.

Even though there are many on here that disagree, still I believe this is a good teaching tool. This is the way, to make truth, your own.

If you just listen to someone, whether you agree or disagree and you never dig into the truth of the matter, you really haven't learned much.

The question was asked...."Act 16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"

Was Paul and Silas' subsequent answer adequate?

Act 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

So, tell us about the jailer's house that was saved.

Was it a single family suburban or an inter-city apartment.

The bible doesn't say but we do know the jailer was saved.

Sure he was, no doubt at all, buuuuuut verse 31 is not the end of the story. Paul and Silas no doubt took the time to teach him about water baptism in Jesus name.

Oh Hallelujah! Makes me want to shout.



Act 16:32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.

Act 16:33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.

Act 16:34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

Paul and Silas only gave instructions to believe to be saved.

Nope! Wrong again.
