Bible Discussion Thread

Hi All,

Great to be here and to continually even though I learnt since I was a teen. I learnt to be Gods child, you have to accept Him as your personal Savior. Pastor prays for you and that's it. I only got Baptized 2 yrs later. Not totally understanding it as well.

Know I learn, you have to Baptized 1st as mentioned in Acts 2v38 In the name of Jesus Christ not in Jesus name ?

This discussion and Bible app is amazing. Reading all over again to really understand the Word.

Pray this day finds you & your well. This should help you out..Remember the theif hanging by Jesus that ask Jesus to remember him, Jesus replied "today you shall be with me in heaven". Do you feel this man is now in heaven with Jesus? Of course he is.Therefore, he wasn't taking down, baptised, then returned to the cross.! Jesus died for ALL sin & if one excepts Him as Lord& Savior: John 3:16; they are now baptised with His holy spirit. I got baptised cuz I want ppl to hold me accountable To my repenting. Yet it is not a requirement to get to be saved or get to heaven or His death was for nothing. When it was said, NO works can get you to heaven, baptism was included my child of God.

God will accept a baptism in "Jesus Christ", in "Jesus Name", in the "Father, Son, Holy Spirit", in "Christ our Lord Jesus", etc. Our Father in heaven is not going to refuse His child's obedience because they missed a word or didn't phrase something just so so. Jesus Christ and in Jesus name is the same thing....it's Jesus. Hope that helps...God bless
