When It Comes To Salvation

When It Comes To Salvation
Author: Mark V. Markov

After Jesus Christ saved the thief on the cross
Paid for our sins on the cross
And rose again
Giving us grace
He took some time
Appeared to His disciples
And many others

Then He finally appeared the last time
In the clouds
Before going back to the Heavenly Father
And before going to be at His right hand
He gave this final instruction
To the disciples

He said
Go and baptize
And he or she
That believes and is baptized
Will be saved
Yet he or she that does not
Will be condemned

If Jesus Christ instructed
To His disciples
After He gave us grace
And after He saved
The believing thief that was on the cross
Who was not baptized at that time.

That means,
Even though we have grace
He still wants us
To be baptized
In Jesus Christ name.

If you are living on this earth
And are not on a deathbed
Like the believing thief on the cross

Then as Jesus Christ said
You must believe and be baptized
In Jesus Christ name

It’s best,
If they say in the name of,
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,
In the name of Jesus Christ.

Yet if you are on a deathbed
Similar to like the believing thief on the cross.
Or in circumstance
Where you are not able
To be baptized

Otherwise the believing thief on the cross
Is not an excuse
To disobey your Lord Savior Jesus Christ.

When it comes to salvation
We must always obey
The instruction
Of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
Just like His disciples did.

As He said,
After He gave us grace.
All that believe
Must be baptized,
In Jesus Christ name.

If a bishop, pastor
Or preacher
Does not believe
In baptizing
By saying it’s not necessary
Because of the believing thief on cross
They are sadly mistaken.
Because if it was not necessary
To be baptized
Because of the believing thief on the cross,
Jesus Christ would’ve never instructed it
To His disciples,
For He instructed it when He rose from the dead,
After He gave us grace.

Since spiritual works in faith,
Involves everything.
Just like picking up a Bible
And reading it.
And taking your time,
Studying it.
So is the same with scheduling a baptism
And being fully immersed in water
In Jesus Christ’s name.

When it comes to salvation
We must always obey
The instruction
Of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
Just like His disciples did...


Mark 16:15-16 (ESV)

15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.
16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

17 And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Acts 2:38 (ESV)
38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
