The book of ACTS of the Apostles is a history documentation. It does not necessarily constitute doctrine. The only people that were water baptized during John the Baptist were the Judahites i.e the nation of Israel. It was to prepare for the Christ that would Baptize or as the word means to immerse in the Spirit of God which he did. Peter also tried to put a law on the Nations to be circumcised until Paul rebuked him.

Water baptism is a heresy because no matter how a pastor spins it, it is a work attached to "getting saved" which is no more Grace but of works. Then that church baptismal behind the pulpit is nothing more than an idol.

Also a mature Peter said this....

1 Peter 3:21 “The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:”

Peter said Baptism of the Spirit not water saves us! When does God's Spirit immerse us? The moment we first believe and God did that, we didn't.

We don't get saved. We can't save ourselves. God does that every step of the way.

You want to reach a loved one? You better take the Lord with you by praying for that person.

I upvoted you for the bible study. I love bible study because iron sharpens iron.
