Thanks Daren, I agree. As a joke, I've heard that REV stood for Rest in bed, Eat chicken and Visit the widows. I don’t like that connotation at all but there might be some truth to it, I hope not.

Jann, Please explain furhter. Are you saying that faith without works only appears to be dead but is not really dead at all? That God just got mixed up? Are you saying that faith without works is part of our sanctification process? Thanks for your up coming explination. Norm1

To become a Christian does God require anything but faith?

FreedomFighter, Why do you think these baptism passages are Holy Spirit baptisms? Remember Eph 4:5 says there is only one baptism. Do you believe that water baptism should not be practiced today? Does reactionary mean they are not important to received salvation? Thanks again for your comments. Norm1

When God requires faith for salvation does he teach the necessity of Baptism?

Daren, Thanks again for considering my thoughts. Yes I agere that salvation requires faith and baptism is a sign of spiritual faith. My point is that God requires both for a person to become a Christian. People often say, "I accepted Christ and became a Christian at... then some time later I was baptized." That's not the way the Bible speaks. Faith always comes before true baptism but true conversion comes at the point of baptism. Notice again what the Scripture says about baptism.
I Pet. 3:21 It saves us
Acts 2:38 To receive remission of sins
Acts 22:16 To wash our sins away
Rom. 6:3-6 To get into Christ; To have unity;
To get a new life; To crucify self; To be resurrected
Rom 6:4, 5 To receive a new birth; To become free from sin
I Cor. 12:13 To get into the body
Col. 2:11, 12 So sin can be circumcised from our heart
Gal 3:27 To clothed ourselves with Christ
If the things listed above come at baptism then how can we claim these things before. Baptism is no more important that faith, confession and repentance but the others takes us TO the point of salvation. Baptism puts INTO Christ.

When God requires faith for salvation does he teach the necessity of Baptism?
Mark 16:15 teaches salvation by faith 16:16 by baptism
John 3:16 teaches salvation by faith 3:5 by baptism
Acts 16:31 teaches salvation by faith 16:33 by baptism
Rom 3:22 teaches salvation by faith 6:3, 4 by baptism
Gal 2:15 teaches salvation by faith 3:26 by baptism
Eph 3:17 teaches that Christ dwells in our hearts by faith 4:4 by baptism
1 Peter 1:9 teaches salvation by faith 3:21 saved by baptism
Therefore the scriptures plainly show that to be saved we must have both faith and baptism. We simply can not go through the Bible cafeteria style choosing what we like and throw away the rest.

In my life I have no one to blame as I took the path less chosen In doing so, I have gotten lost not only to myself but to the world But knowing that in hope and Perseverance I slowly move along Knowing that somehow, someway I may have made a path that leads to my soul and in the end to my one true self which is really all one can end up with in life in hopes that in doing so I may have made a difference.

Darci, I pity you. There is a light to walk by and progression that is real. And a friend that wants to take your hand and help you achieve great things.
Someone said, “He that knows not and knows not that he knows not he is a fool, stay away from him. If a he knows not and knows that he knows not his is untaught, teach him. He that knows but knows not that he knows is asleep. Wake him. He that knows and knows that he knows is a wise man. Follow him.
Darci, which one of these people best fits your evaluation of your self. My evaluation of my self is that I was made in the image of the almighty God. I am on earth for the purpose of choosing to be with Him and encourage others to do so. And I am going to a place where gold is used for payment, where there is no death, sorrow or crying. And the reward is immeasurable. This confident expectation is solidly based on the reliable word of God. I would love to spend a few hours with you showing the hundreds of concrete facts which prove God’s word to be accurate.

Matt 24:35-39 NIV
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

Shubee said, “…Look for how they interpret the bible.” I say amen! But then he/she went on to say, “Look for the church who sees the real meanings (metaphor) of the bible, not literally orientated. I have big trouble with this part of his recommendation. The Bible says “prove all things…”1 Thess 5:21 KJV, “Test everything…” NIV. 1 John 4:1 “…do not believe every spirit but test the spirits…” HOW COULD ANYONE TEST ANYTHING IF NOTHING WAS LITERAL? There is a rule in communication that goes like this: “Take everything as literal unless it involves an absurdity or a direct contradiction of another clear statement.” If no one recognized this law we could have no hope of communication. There are three types of speech; literal, figurative and a lie. If there is no indicator that a statement is figurative (a metaphor) then we MUST take it as literal!

Thanks Ninet and Daren for answering my question but neither of you answered the part, Why did God’s messenger tell Saul, “Be baptized and wash away your sins.” If his sins had already been dun away with on the road to Damascus what was the point?
