BAPTISM SAVES! This IS NOT a concept nor my concept! This is actually what the Bible teaches. You can choose to believe it and obey it for the salvation of your soul, or you can choose to reject it and disobey it for the condemnation of your soul. BAPTISM SAVES - IT IS THE CLEANSING AGENT FROM GOD THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST FOR MAN'S SALVATION! Some people are teaching that baptism does not saved, that they are saved then get baptized, that baptism is an outward grace, that baptism is not relevant for man's salvation, that baptism is just a swimming exercise that does not add to man's salvation, and so on… ALL THOSE ARE LIES!!! ●If baptism does not save ... Why did Jesus authorized it, Matthew 28:18, Mark 16:16?👇 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”. (Matt. 28:18) And Jesus said in Mark 16:16👇 "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned" ●If baptism is not relevant for salvation ... why did Peter ordered it in Acts 2:38?👇 And Peter said to them "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit"(Acts 2:38) ●If baptism is an outward grace ... Why did Ananias commanded Saul to arise and be baptized and wash his sins away, Acts 22:16?👇 "And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord"(Acts 22:16) ●If baptism is not relevant for man's salvation ... Why did the Enouch stop the chariot in Acts 8:38?👇 "And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him". (Acts 8:38) ●If baptism is not relevant for salvation and does not save… Why did Peter commanded Cornelius and his household to be baptized in Acts 10:48?👇 “And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days.” Acts 10:48 ●If baptism is just a swimming exercise and does not save man ... Why then did Peter said 'baptism doth also now save us' 1 Peter 3:22?👇 "Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a clear conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ' (1 Peter 3:21) Now, Can something that is an outward grace PUT us INTO Christ? Galatians 3:27 "For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ" (Galatians 3:27) Can something that is AUTHORIZED by the Son of God Who all authority has been given to (Matt.28:18) not be profitable for the salvation of all who are in obedience to His command? Would God command, Instruct, and direct a thing that is not profitable for Man's salvation? God's word teaches that for man to be forgiven of his sins and be saved, cleansed, redeemed, purged, sanctified, be added to the church which is the body of Christ, and obtain salvation… 👉🏿Man must Hear the Gospel of Christ, Acts 15:7, Romans 10:17. 👉🏿Man must Believe the Gospel of Christ, Mark 16:15-16, Hebrews 11:6. 👉🏿Man must Repent of his sins, Luke 13:3-5, Acts 17:30. 👉🏿Man must Confess his faith in Christ, Acts 8:37, Rom.10:9-10 👉🏿Man must Be Baptized in water for the remission of his sins, Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16, 1 Peter 3:21. If man hear the gospel, believe the gospel repent of his sins, and confessed Christ but refused to be baptized into Christ for remission of sins, there is NO WAY he can be saved, forgiven, purged, cleansed, purified and obtain salvation. Baptism is the agent once adhered to, will man to be added to the church by the Lord, (Acts 2:47). There is NO OTHER WAY to be saved and get into the church/body of Christ!

Today's modern Church says Jesus is coming back soon What do you mean by "He is coming back soon"? Jesus used that word and others to note that He was coming back SOON in the lifetime of those disciples of HIS day. Todays church doesn't believe Him. The Apostles taught that He was returning SOON in their day ("The coming of the Lord is AT HAND"--James 5:8). The churches of Christ don't believe them. The writer of Hebrews taught that Jesus was coming in a very little while. "In a VERY, VERY little while He who is COMING will COME and will NOT DELAY" (Heb. 10:37). The churches of Christ don't believe them He was coming in a very, very little while in the days of the writer of Hebrews. The church says that the end of the world is "very very soon." Why should anyone believe Todays church when they use those words when todays church doesn't believe Jesus and the NT writers when they said "very soon" " time is near" and "time is at hand" nearly 2000 years ago? Should we believe the NT writers and Jesus over todays church?

The New Testament scripture that refers to the early Christian movement as "The Way" is the book of Acts, specifically in verses like Acts 9:2, 19:9, 23, and 22:4; where it is used multiple times to describe the followers of Jesus. The nomenclature "The Way" provides evidence Christianity has its roots in daoism.

The sin of syncretism: It seems that many today teach that there are Christians in ALL denominations but can this be true scripturally? God was against this practice in the days of Israel and we see how it brought Israel down. That sin was committed with the Canaanite Baals and many other "melded" groups each one coming to destruction.Is there anything we can learn from this? In the book of Hosea Israel said: “’I’ll run after other lovers and sell myself to them for food and water, for clothing of wool and linen, and for olive oil and drinks” (Hosea 2:5. But Hosea told the people that the giver of these blessings was Yahweh and not Baal. Yahweh said: “[Israel] did not know that it was I who gave her the grain, the wine, and the oil, and who lavished upon her silver and gold that they used for Baal” (Hosea 2:8). "Ephraim compromises with the nations; he's a half-baked cake". (Hosea 7:8). God never approved of syncretism and I believe still doesn't since He does not change (Malachi 3:6), nor does Jesus Christ (Hebrews 13:8). Therefore to say true Christians are mixed in with all denominations seems to be totally unscriptural and it is syncretism. If indeed there are some in other churches would not the call be to come out from among them and be separate as the Lord says? Better yet what is stopping them and why are they seemingly so comfortable in that state? What say you?
