Why are there so many churches that teach baptism under Matthew 28:19 and some under Acts 2:38? What is the correct way to get to heaven? So much confusion in this world. What does the Bible truly teach is the correct way?
Baptisms and Learning More About Jesus - In Reply on Psalms 91 - 2 years ago
There is a Link out on the red entry page you came in on; BECOME A BELIEVER. Its just below the question and discussion rooms Links.
It really explains what happens when you decide to receive Jesus as your Savior. And what the next steps are. I wish I'd had that when I was saved.
In John chapter 3, Jesus is talking to Nicodemus about being born again. He speaks of the Holy Spirit as the wind. We receive Salvation from Jesus. He sends the Holy Spirit, to live within us.
Water Baptism is a outward expression of what has happened to us. It is wonderful to have everyone witness your commitment to Jesus; family and friends. It's an outward expression of an inward change.
I was water baptized at 13. My Church never taught much about the Holy Spirit. (Southern Baptist)
I met Him 22 years later. He indwells your born again spirit. He teaches you as you read the Bible. Your life will never be the same. All the love you ever craved to be yours, will be there with you each day. He can be grieved or quenched, so that's why we study the New Testament first.
Satan doesn't want us to read the Bible because he knows we'll learn of the freedom we have in Jesus. He'll make the phone ring, people show up at the front door and all kinds of hindrances. Disappoint him when he pulls those tricks out on you.
