Biblical Obedience To Be Saved

The Bible is a love story spanning 1,500 years of God's interaction with His greatest creation - us. It's central theme is the gospel of Jesus Christ (death, burial, resurrection), and its power to save man from Gods judgement to those who believe it (Rom 1:16). But according to the scriptures, just believing the saving message is not enough to become a saint of God in His kingdom. God asks us to obey the gospel with obedient faith in order to make His free gift of grace real in our lives. Below is the unfolding of the great commission spoken in Matthew 28:19-20 on behalf of Ms. Caitlin Jones’ and any who desire to be saved.

HERE WITNESS A BIBLICAL BAPTISM INTO CHRIST. This is the work of God (Col 2:11-12) upon her in a matter of seconds.
 
The sinner has already heard and read the word of God. Romans 10:14-17.
 
The sinner is already on a path of repenting of her sins. Acts 3:19, 2 Peter 3:9.
 
The sinner by faith is obedient confessing Christ as the Son of God before witnesses. Acts 8:36,37, Romans 10:10.
 
The sinner by faith is then buried (into death like Jesus) by immersion in water. Acts 2:38, Romans 6:3, 1Pet 3:21.
 
The sinners past sins are cleansed by The blood of Christ in the burial. Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16, Colossians 2:11-12, Titus 3:5.
 
The new Saint is raised a new creature white as snow in the eyes of God. Romans 6:4, 2 Cor 5:17.
 
The new Saint receives the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38, Acts 5:32, Ephesians 1:13.
 
The new Saint now begins to walk a new life clothed with Christ rejoicing. Acts 8:39, Galatians 3:27, Philippians 4:4, 3 John 1:3,4.



Baptism in water isn’t a work of man.

OK, IT’S SETTLED, BAPTISM FOR THE CLEANSING OF SINS IS NOT A WORK OF MAN. IT'S THE WORK OF GOD! YOU’RE NOT DOING IT; IT’S DONE TO YOU. K...
