A godly grandmother I had became a widow at age 56. She was faithful to the Lord until she died. Completely selfless. She was still working taking care of the elderly at age 85. She loved the book of Acts also. She prayed without ceasing. Believed we are saved by the blood of Christ. By grace are we saved through faith. She believed we were made new creatures in Christ and made to do good works for his glory. Amen. She believed she was saved before she was baptized. I was raised that way but was later taught baptism is like a final leg of a journey to get on the right path being under the water is where you come in contact with the blood. When you come out of the water, you are a new creature. We know there is life in the blood and Jesus was the perfect Lamb of God. Christ 's death on the cross is what made a way for us to be in Heaven someday. I love 1 John 5. God will judge all of us and loves us so much. He wants us to understand His Word. We can ask God believing and He will guide us into all understanding!
