Those That Believe And Are Baptized



Those That Believe And Are Baptized
Author: Mark V. Markov

You ask me if I believe in works?
Well, I believe in what Jesus Christ taught.
For He is the King of kings,
And Lord of lords.
He is the Heavenly Fathers only Begotten Son.

The whole scripture consists of works
Starting from Noah building the ark
Abraham had to leave everything behind
And travel to the land he had never seen before.
Before Faith was accredited to him
Accredited to him as righteousness.
And ending with the disciples of Jesus Christ
Traveling from town to town
Sharing the good news
And also helping others in need.

We need to listen and obey,
The instruction and direction
Of our Lord and Savior.
That what is written in the word of God.
For there is no one else higher.
Other than Yahweh,
God, our Heavenly Father.

Jesus Christ is in charge of the Kingdom of Heaven.
If He said,
Those that believe and are baptized
Shall be saved.
Than those that believe need to be baptized.

If someone says that is works
And you don't need to do that
Than they are destroying your eternal life
For they can never be higher,
They are not Jesus Christ.

Who are they to say?
That they know better than Jesus Christ?
Just because they have a four year degree in bible studies
Doesn't make them higher
Than our Lord and Savior

Matthew 28:18-20 (ESV)

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.


Mark 16:16 (ESV)

Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.


Matthew 7:21-23 (ESV)

21 Not everyone who says to me, "Lord, Lord," will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does
the will of my Father who is in heaven.

22 On that day many will say to me, "Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name,
and cast out demons in your name,
and do many mighty works in your name?"

23 And then will I declare to them, "I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.

It's better to known the truth now
and change for the better
for the fear of the Lord
is the beginning of wisdom
than to knock on heavens door
and no one opens


Lawlessness is corrupting the teaching of Jesus Christ,
and not living according to what He taught.


A few examples are found in Matthew 25 and Matthew 5:16


Matthew 25:31-40



The Final Judgment

31 When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.
32 Before him will be gathered all the nations,
and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates
the sheep from the goats
33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left.
34 Then the King will say to those on his right, "Come, you who are blessed by my Father,
inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink,
I was a stranger and you welcomed me,
36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me."
37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying,
"Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?
38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you
39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?"
40 And the King will answer them, "Truly, I say to you,
as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me."


Matthew 5:16 (ESV)

16 In the same way, let your light shine before others,
so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.





Daniel 7:9-14 (ESV)

The Ancient of Days Reigns


9 "As I looked,

thrones were placed,
    and the Ancient of Days took his seat;
his clothing was white as snow,
    and the hair of his head like pure wool;
his throne was fiery flames;
    its wheels were burning fire.

10 A stream of fire issued
    and came out from before him;
a thousand thousands served him,
    and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him;
the court sat in judgment,
    and the books were opened.

11 "I looked then because of the sound of the great words that the horn was speaking.
And as I looked, the beast was killed,
and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire.

12 As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away,
but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.



The Son of Man Is Given Dominion


13 "I saw in the night visions,

and behold, with the clouds of heaven
    there came one like a son of man,
and he came to the Ancient of Days
    and was presented before him.

14 And to him was given dominion
    and glory and a kingdom,
that all peoples, nations, and languages
    should serve him;
his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
    which shall not pass away,
and his kingdom one
    that shall not be destroyed.


Mark 16:16 (ESV)
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.


If you do not believe then you will not get baptized.



Acts 6 (ESV)

Seven Chosen to Serve

 
1 Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution.

 2 And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, “It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables.

3 Therefore, brothers, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty.

4 But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”

5 And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch.

6 These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands on them.

7 And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith.
