@@BENJAMINJAMESSMITH2000 no, I believe a person needs Jesus. Jesus saves and can heal! We are totally dependent on Him for salvation. Baptism is something that comes after we are saved and is something the Lord commands us to do in the Bible! It’s like a symbolism of being born again
@@BENJAMINJAMESSMITH2000much like circumcision in the Old Testament was a sign. So is baptism. It’s a sign of the new covenant. Otherwise it’s a work to earn righteousness and no one is saved that way.
@@JoelHill-km6pn acts 2:38: "then peter said unto them, repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of jesus christ for the remission of sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the holy ghost." acts 2:38 teaches that a person has to be baptized with water to have their sins remitted. therefore acts 2:38 teaches that a person has to be baptized with water to be saved.

Good timing as I was listening to Phil Wickham while sitting at the desk with my puppy… just saw a video on the deep web of a Ukrainian soldier killing a Russian troop a year ago in the war, horrible, stabs the guy in the eye, guy was just screaming then goes silent… I wondered, how much further do we have to go before GOD speaks or gives a sign, and I fear it has to get WAY more worse before anything else comes, and when it does, it’s going to be as he said, so terrible that “men will wish to be dead and envious of the dead that they will seek death and it shall not be found”. This life, so fragile, we haven’t learned to respect it and most of all, each other, we kill each other for sport, for envy, pride, sin, whatever the reason, and in the end, we’re all going to reap what we’ve sown. Every, single, person on this planet is going to ANSWER for everything they’ve ever done. To others, themselves, their own bodies and others.
@@BENJAMINJAMESSMITH2000 not in the slightest, that was 100% symbolic of what was for that time period, there is no need to continue with rites, rituals or the sort, which is why when he appears to “deceive many” the “antichrist” as he will be seen, he’s going to remove the rituals, what they’ve all been saying for ages (the Sunday worship and the like) because it’s not necessary, since the start the ancient tribes even said “IF we didn’t listen to the teachings, the CREATOR HIMSELF will step back in to take what’s his”. This refers to the true chosen people (not Israel in the Middle East) and he’s going to do so as the Elect One (AC). Rituals, rites, are not necessary. God speaks from within, via the conscience, if someone wants to be baptized however they can if it’s how they wish to recognize their master.
Genesis 38:24-30 "24 About three months later Judah was told, "Tamar your daughter- in- law has been immoral. Moreover, she is pregnant by immortality." And Judah said, " Bring her out, and let her be burned." 25 As she was being brought out, she sent word to her father- in- law, " By the man to whom these belong, I am pregnant." And she said. " Please identify whose these are, the signet and the cord and the staff." 26 Then Judah identified them and said, she is more righteous than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah." And he did not know her again. 27 When the time of her labor came, there were twins in her womb. 28 And when she was in labor, one put out a hand, and the midwife took and tied a scarlet thread on his hand, saying, " This one came out first." 29 But as he drew back his hand, behold, his brother came out. And she said, " What a breach you have made for yourself! " Therefore his name was called Perez. 30 After his brother came out with the scarlet thread on his hand, and his name was called Zarah."( Genesis 38:24-30 ESV Study Bible) Romans 8:28 😊❤ John 14:6❤😊 " 6 Jesus answered, " I am the way ❤😊 and the truth ❤😊 and the life😊❤.

Matthew 26:14-16(Judas( Judas Iscariot) to betray Jesus) "14 Then one of the twelves, whose name was Judas Iscariot( no good), went to the chief priests 15 and said( quoted what no good Judas Iscariot said the following) " What will you give me if I deliver him over to you?
