First of all there is no place in Scripture where it says we are saved by faith alone. The verses cited (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5) indicate that we are certainly saved by faith. But just because repentance, confession and baptism are not mentioned together with faith does not mean that they are not included in the requirements for salvation. In fact Titus 3:5 does mention the "washing of regeneration" which in New Testament times was a way of referring to baptism. The only place where faith alone is mentioned (James 2:24) it is stated that it does NOT justify.
Yes to all of the above.
why would the Bible say that we are saved by faith when it clearly states that we are saved by
grace through faith and not that of works. If water baptism is what saves us then the person doing the baptism is the one that saved you and not God. Man Baptized you thus man has saved you.
repent means to turn from, or to change ones mind, so yes we need repentance by changing our mind or renewing of the mind, and turning from our evil ways, confessing is not confessing our sins, if I had to confess every one of my sins I would never be saved, for I can not remember every sin that I have done. Romans 10 says to confess Him Lord, " Jesus Christ YOU are Lord" there I just confessed.
Now for the Baptism show me in one scripture that you just quoted and said yes to all :
Does Acts 2:38 teach that baptism is necessary for salvation?
Does Mark 16:16 teach that baptism is necessary for salvation?
Does 1 Peter 3:21 teach that baptism is necessary for salvation?
Does John 3:5 teach that baptism is necessary for salvation?
Does Acts 22:16 teach that baptism is necessary for salvation?
Does Galatians 3:27 teach that baptism is necessary for salvation?
please show me one verse where it mentions water???? in either of your verses please show me where water/ John's baptism is the one that is being referred to!!
now let me show you what the Bible Does say about Baptism:
Ephesians 4:5-8
5 One Lord, one faith,
one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
KJV
One Lord, One faith and (one work of that faith: Baptism, is the Baptism or work that Christ did for you. not what you do for Him or you do for yourself least ye boast) Baptism : what can wash away our sins water? or Blood?
Hebrews 9:22
22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood;
and without shedding of blood is no remission.
KJV
so what Baptism should we seek:
Acts 19:3-6
3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
KJV
Acts 1:5
5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
KJV
Matthew 3:11
11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear:
he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
KJV
Jesus was baptised and the disciples were baptized with John's baptism, however after they were baptized with John's baptism Jesus said this:
Mark 10:38-39
38 But Jesus said unto them,
Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
39 And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them,
Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:
KJV
after the disciples had been water baptized Jesus said
YE shall be baptized! so what baptism unto salvation do you seek, water or Blood??
