False. Burials are not bloody. Corpses are cleaned and have fragrances apply to them prior to burial. So why do I need to know something that's false? Oh wait a minute... because that's all you have to offer. You know that right?
It doesn't matter when he said it or who he said it to. It's still applies today. Baptism is not a requirement of salvation.
They're talking about the spoken word. Funny how that works. " Whoever has ears, let them hear." Matthew 11:15
Jesus is the Word. When is saved person asks for forgiveness for a sin they committed they are asking in the name of Jesus to forgive that sin. They plead the blood of Jesus over that sin. Even Though his blood has dried up and decomposed. We fight a spiritual battle not a flesh and blood battle. And we are more than conquerors.
No, it does not. I worship the Lord every Sunday with two or three congregations, depending on where I am in the country. On most topics of doctrine they teach the truth, but on what is required to receive salvation, none of them teach the Biblical (not my) truth.
Jesus is indeed the Word, but in the verse you quoted He said that they were saved because of what He had spoken to them, not because of His blood. He had the authority to forgive sin in Himself while He was alive (Matt 9:6). And what happens to someone who has already been saved has no bearing on what happens with someone who has not yet been saved. Yes, praying to God for forgiveness has great efficacy to one who has already been saved. But one who has not yet been saved can pray forever and not receive forgiveness unless he obeys the Gospel in repentance, confession of Jesus as Lord, and baptism.
So if you haven't been saved and you pray and ask god for forgiveness, One needs to obey the gospel in Repentance. Let's look at that for a second, If when you say repentance you mean, stop sinning before coming to Jesus, then you are dead wrong. If we could stop sinning before coming to Jesus, then why do we need Jesus? But if when you say repentance you mean, the asking of forgiveness and the turning from your sin as evidence of salvation, then I’m down.
Blood is not shed before someone is buried? They retain all of their blood? Did you know baptism in the name of Jesus Christ is a burial into Christ? Can you rise again without being buried with Christ?
Jesus tells everyone personally that they are cleansed by his word, even during the dark ages when nobody had a written Bible? Did they see it in a vision or a dream To be saved?
It's called oral tradition. the Holy Spirit speaks through believers and shares the gospel of non-believers. The gospels were probably in the 70s-90s AD.
Peter in Acts 2:38 started a Campbellite heresy?
Jesus debunked Acts 2:38?
The Alexander Campbell built a whole new denomination based on that verse the Church of Christ. Their belief is that baptism saves you.
Your words "Burials are bloody. You should know that." You can die of old age or you can be strangled to death neither one involves the shedding of blood. And once again burials are not bloody. The bodies have been cleaned prior to burial.
What are you talking about now? Don't blame Jesus.
Do you think Peter would be taken back by that man obeying Acts 2:38?
