IF Acts 2:38 teaches that one must be baptized to be saved then it contradicts other verses in the Bible such as John 3:16, Acts 16:30-31. Does the Bible contradict itself---NO!! The word “for” in Greek can mean “because of”. It must mean “because of” or Acts 16:31 is not true! Salvation is the same for every man! “Believe (put trust, faith, confidence in) on the Lord Jesus Christ!!

@jbenso7417 "For" does mean "because of" in that context and numerous others. It is sad that so many miss that. The only thing you left out in your definition of "believe" is the faithfulness part. True belief includes obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ. Mere mental assent can include only putting trust, faith, and confidence in, but true salvation is one step further and includes obedience to the Lord as seen in Ephesians 2:8-10. God bless you richly.

Would not the teaching about the necessity of water baptism for salvation be a teaching that salvation depends on other people? Is it not a catholic thinking, namely that one must go through priesthood in order to be saved? The only thing that saves is to be in Christ: to have a personal fellowship with Christ, having a living faith in Him. He is the Way, the Truth and Life. Salvation is only through Christ and no other people. There is no CLEAR passage teaching that one must be baptized.

brotherryanhicks. "Saved through water", is one of the many passages that alot of people misunderstand. As you explained, and it makes sense, those on the ark were not literally in the water, they were on the Ark saved while going through the water. The Ark is a picture of Jesus saving us. Catholic church believes that the Ark is a picture of Mary, since she gave birth to Jesus they believe the Ark is Mary herself. They give her all the credit instead of putting our trust & faith in Jesus. THX

@AccordingToScripture I have already explained all this. Please watch the video again. May the Lord bless you.

@MyHunnyBunnyNora look up some of the early church fathers writings, they quoted from Mark 9-20 before it "supposedly" was added later. they actually quoted from this before the New Testament was compiled together

@AccordingToScripture Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

@RefutingSkellyism May the Lord bless you and enlighten the eyes of your understanding.
