Mark ch 16 vs 16
The one who is greater than John the baptist said "He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved..." The words of Jesus are Laws and superceeds anything said by any apostle or pastor.
If you have the opportunity to do so, then do it
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you should be saved” (Acts 16:31). The Bible also commands baptism, but baptism does not save us from sin

Emphasis on "believe" not "water baptism"

Observe mk 16:16 again, the later part says
nothing about believers who have not been baptized.

“Whoever does not believe will be condemned." Nothing about "baptism" was mentioned there

The highlighted is not true!

Death is the reason why corpses (lifeless bodies) are buried in the GRAVE (HELL) but God promised a time when He will undo the cause of death by then humans will no longer grow old, get sick or die.

Before then He (God) promised to remove all the causes of pains and sadness, meaning whoever is a cause for sadness to innocent people will not make it Into the new system! Psalms 37:9-11

But all those who have washed their hands clean (figuratively) from evil deeds will be ushered into life everlasting and they won't have to die at all! John 11:25-26

So God's angels are moving around now to pen down the names of all those seeking Him with all their hearts {Malachi 3:16} if your name is found written among the righteous you will be remembered even if you're dead before then {Job 14:13-15} but as for all those who lived their lives without God at heart will never be remembered during the resurrection of the dead, they will be forgotten in their GRAVES (HELL) Psalms 9:17 compare to Revelations 20:15

Thank you! smiley


So, in your dream world, all human being will be same....?
There will be no demarcation between you and your dad, grandpa and great grandpa etc.

You talk about resurrection, at what age will people be resurrected, let assume, you dad's elder brother died when he was 15years and your grow to 80years before kicking the pocket. Now, tell me who will be the eldest among them... Your dad or his elder brother?

Have you been baptised by water immersion in the name of Jesus? If yes, have you received the Holy Ghost?

If no, are you ready to be baptised now? Once you're baptised, I'll pray for you to receive the Holy Ghost and once it comes upon you, YOU ARE BORN AGAIN because you have become born of the water (baptism) and of the spirit (The filling of the Holy Ghost)

Now go and model Christ, be beautiful for Christ, be free, live a life of power and authority, heal the sick, cast out demons. These are the duties of a born again christian
The guy asked you that if he meets you and tells you he wants to be born again what are the steps, and your reply was the quoted above, wrong! It's like when an illiterate meets you and asks you that if he wants to be educated what are the steps, and you reply the person that has he finished secondary school, has he acquired a university degree? Pls is that the first stage of getting education? That is why he rubbished your response and said you don't know nada.

Read through my post, believing in Jesus will save you, being baptised gives you access to the new convenant in Jesus.
For e.g:
Why buy a phone without a sim? Without a sim you can make emergency calls, use wifi to use apps etc but you can't buy data or call directly.
Do you have a phone? Yes,
Is it convenient to use without a sim? No
Are you limited without the sim? Yes

That's how it is to the believer who is not baptised.

Please i won't tolerate insults, if you don't have hope in the future that doesn't mean everyone else must become hopeless.
According to God's word people lived more than 800 years during Adam's time before they died. Common sense should tell anyone that they must have become Adults at 20 before spending more than 800 years.
Meaning if Adam never sinned we would have remain youths nobody will have to see another person as dad or mom after adulthood because we will all remain youths forever.

Any dead person will be resurrected as a grown youth not old because it's Adamic sin that caused oldage and after Jesus' sacrifice has been applied in our case NO MORE OLDAGE!

Becoming a Christian is within your conviction about Jesus as you're moved to put on the new personality Jesus preached and taught.
But being Born Again is only reserved for those God will choose to reign with Christ in heaven, there's no criteria manly possible that can make anyone qualify it largely depends on God.
So you can decide to become a Christian but you can't choose to be a Born Again! Matthew 20:20-23 smiley

I am still trying to figure out how Oyibo that is reluctant to give you visa to migrate to their countries, see black people as subhumans, and up till the mid of 20th Century saw blacks as 3/4 humans in US, managed to convince black people that they will all move to live with them happily in a place called heaven when they barely can stand blacks on earth.
Racism and segregation are very ripe here on earth. The Asians, Arabs, Whites are united in their hatred for Blacks. These are the people Black people are fasting and praying with the hope to move to heaven with. I can guarantee you that if heaven is real, no Blacks will be admitted. All of you are living in a fool's paradise. What makes you think that who raped and enslaved your people will give you something beneficial to you? Common to write off your loans to ensure good living in your countries is a Herculean task for them. Black people really need their heads examined.

Whose name was Jesus baptised in?

Jesus was baptised for repentance according to the doctrine of John The Baptist to fulfil all righteousness.

Now baptism is a symbol of a new testament (convenant) that started when Jesus shed His blood for everyone on the cross. Matt 26 vs 28

Stop deceiving people with wrong /false teachings. When the Bible says " believe on the Lord Jesus and you shall be saved " what do you understand by that? The "water" the Bible refers to in John 3 :3-5 is the Word of God, not physical water. It's heresy to say someone believed on Jesus and is not saved. If you're not then you don't believe. Bye.

There are two separate destinations for faithful and obedient humans:

The first set are few as in limited in number {Luke 12:32} it's God's chosen King that will train them to know how they will treat their subjects {Luke 22:25-26} Jesus set the example by going to meet people in their homes! Luke 19:8-9
So this is the first set that Jesus came to gather and they were given the task to go out the same way Jesus did to gather their subjects throughout the world {Act 1:8} this leads to the second set:

The second set are countless numbers of obedient mankind that will become submissive to Jesus through the preaching and teaching of the first set {John 10:16 compare to 17:20} this set are the ones who will inherit the earth to welcome billions of dead people! Matthew 5:5

So immortality (life without a possibility of dying) is the free gift the first set will gain through their selection as Christ's co-rulers {Revelations 20:4-6} they have no business with death anymore because Jesus will take them to heaven as spirit beings! John 14:1-4

As for those who will continue living in the flesh as humans their eternity depends on their continuous obedience to God because God will never tolerate another Adam and Eve rebellion like what leads to all these trouble! Isaiah 65:20 smiley

Colossians 2:12 and Romans 6:4 are self explanatory enough to indicate that they both have nothing to do with water baptism, as in relation to safeguarding salvation, so listen to this though.

Mr A heard the Gospel. He believed and accepted Jesus as his Lord and Saviour, then just as he was about to undergo having water baptism, he while waiting in a queue, dropped dead from a suspected suffered hear attack. The question now is, in the absence of the water baptism, is Mr A saved from eternal damnation or he is not saved from eternal damnation?

[b]Personal text
: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.

Very clever response. 1Chor was Apostle Paul settling a dispute in the church where some claim they are of Paul and another set said that they're of Apollos.
Paul simply said he's happy he wasn't the one who baptised them, his duty was to preach not to baptise.

Colossians 2:12 (KJV) Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

Romans 6:3-4 (KJV) Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

The above scriptures are self explanatory, especially Romans 6 vs 3-4. Each of us who is baptised into Jesus are baptised into His death, buried with Him by baptism and signifys that as Jesus who died was raised back to life, we have become dead like Jesus and resurrected to a new life.

Believing in Jesus is the only way into heaven so Mr A will make heaven.

Being baptised in the name of Jesus is essentially neccessary because it enables you legally to exercise the power of God. You can be saved, believe in Jesus and still struggle with demons and enchantments. The devil uses legal grounds in our lives to fight. Baptism eliminates those grounds because before heaven, the person who those convenants were against is dead and you that came out of the water is a new person.

Mr B who believes and isn't baptised in the name of Jesus will still struggle with any existing family deities, evil patterns etc. God is a righteous judge, if there is a legal convenant against that person, demons will use it to afflict Mr B, but when Mr B dies, Mr B will go to heaven because He believes in Jesus.
