I would ask .Do you think the idea of limbo or purgatory (same thing) perverts the gospel as a legion of gods which the non-vereable must call patron saints workers with a familiar spirit gods.Then you think scripture is in error?
Does that count Limb and purgatory or if that a different no end no end .The wondering doctrineGrace
Not salvation until the end Matt 24:13
It does vs 22 they immediately went to the river (water) and baptized
How is receiving the Gift of the Holy Spirit not salvation?Not salvation
This renders baptism meaningless!Yes, saved...then...got baptized.
How's that?????This renders baptism meaningless!
This the teaching of the church that was commanded by Christ to teach all men! Matt 28:19Yes, saved...then...got baptized.
Salvation has a processHow is receiving the Gift of the Holy Spirit not salvation?
Where is the chapter that tells us how to baptize?This the teaching of the church that was commanded by Christ to teach all men! Matt 28:19

Mk 16:16 baptism required for salvation
Well, that's a belief...but where is your support?Salvation has a process
Redemption (life, death, & resurrection)
Justification (faith & baptism)
Sanctification (prayer etc.)
Purification (penance)
Glorification (heavenly glory)
All in the process of salvation!
If I am saved by faith alone why bother with baptism?How's that?????
because baptism shows an association with Christ...it symbolizes the death, burial and resurrection.If I am saved by faith alone why bother with baptism?
Baptism would be useless & meaningless

Mk 16:16 baptism required for salvation
The New Testament scriptures are the churches witness to Christ not every detail of Christian faith and practiceWhere is the chapter that tells us how to baptize?
If baptism was a step in salvation the bible would have mentioned it in great detail.
Matt 28:19Where is the chapter that tells us how to baptize?
If baptism was a step in salvation the bible would have mentioned it in great detail.
Matt 28:19Well, that's a belief...but where is your support?
Effects of faith & baptism!because baptism shows an association with Christ...it symbolizes the death, burial and resurrection.
That's why.
Now, answer the question...if baptism is a requirement for salvation why isn't there a chapter on it? Telling how it works, why it works and how to perform the baptism.
Why do you continue to avoid this question?
Once again......If baptism was a step in salvation the bible would have mentioned it in great detail.The New Testament scriptures are the churches witness to Christ not every detail of Christian faith and practice
We must believe and obey both Christ and the church He founded on the apostles (Matt 16:18-19) to teach and sanctify all men unto eternal salvation! (Matt 28:19)
(Not scripture alone)
Sacred Scripture according to the churches cannon and interpretation? Yes!
Scripture alone? No!
Heb 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
“Not by scripture alone”!
That’s the nail in the coffin of “Sola scriptura” it is dead and buried, “false doctrine” the doctrine of demons like all the sola’s!
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Jn 1:17
Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life! Jn 14:6
And this extends to His apostolic church, Christ and His church are one and inseparable! Acts 9:4 Jn 15:5 eph 5:32 acts 2:42
Jesus Christ is the Light of the world! Jn 8:12
Apostolic church the light of the world! Matt 5:14
Must Hear Jesus Christ! Matt 17:5
Acts 3:23
Must Hear the apostolic church! Matt 18:17 1 Jn 4:6
Authority of Jesus Christ! Matt 28:17
Authority of the apostles! Jn 20:21
Jesus Christ has Reconciliation!
2 cor 5:19
Apostles have ministry of Reconciliation! 2 cor 5:18
Jesus Christ have power to forgive mens sins! Lk 5:20 Jn
Apostles have power to forgive mens sins! Jn 20:23
Jesus Christ is the truth! Jn 14:6
The apostolic church is the pillar of truth! 1 Tim 3:16
For the apostolic authority in Holy church decided and decreed (bound on earth / bound in heaven) the cannon of Scripture, and is the only authentic interpreter of scripture!
Jesus Christ before ascending to heaven gave His apostles the fullness of truth, the apostolic church our mother and teacher is commanded by Him to teach and to sanctify with her sacraments (the promise of the spirit) all men unto eternal salvation! We are commanded to believe and obey! Matt 28:19
How can the Protestant concept: “sacred scripture is the only infallible source of truth” be true? There must be some infallible source that must tell us what is the cannon of scripture & has authority to interpret scripture!
It is impossible to reject the church or her teaching without rejecting Christ who founded the church and revealed her teaching!
You cannot reject the kingdom established by the king and say I obey and submit to the king!
