So, we get it from accepting the gospel, right? Don't you think that part of accepting it is obeying it's commandments?
Where is an example of a faith only conversion, after the chruch was instituted? Where?
Regarding Romans 4:5, do you not realize that he is referring to works of the law (the Mosaic Law) which we are NOT under? It's like you search for any verse in the Bible that refers to not doing works and try to apply it towards saying that it not necessary to obey Christ's commandments. You are not dividing the Bible correctly.
If you'd just think about it, it's quite rediculous. Jesus comes along and gives people commandments that they are to follow for salvation. Then, in your view, Paul comes along and just says believe, implying that obedience doesn't play a role in our salvation, despite the words of Jesus. Think about what you are saying. You need to understand the difference between the works of the law (which you keep referring to), and the works of obedience, as commanded by Christ. Not one time would Paul, or any other apostle, claim that one doesn't need to obey Christ's commandments. Never.
They were saved "before" getting into the ark? Not even. If they hadn't obeyed God, Noah wouldn't have built the ark in the first place. If they didn't get into the ark, they would have drown with everybody else. I'll agree that it was because of their faith in God that they obyed what He told them to do, but belief only didn't save them... it was their faith and obedience that saved them. Do you actually believe that they could have believed and not obyed God (not building the ark or getting into it), and still be saved?
Yes, the like figure, baptism, now saves us through the resurrection of Jesus.
1 Peter 3:21 says that baptism now saves us. You are trying to say that we are saved before we do the thing that now saves us - baptism.
This just shows that you don't understand what it's talkaing about when it mentions the antitype, or figure type. It's simply comparing the salvation by means of flood waters to the figure type (something that resembles another... it's countertype) to that which now saves us, baptism. In a nutshell, Peter is saying that just as the flood waters saved 8 souls, baptism now saves us. Nothing in there that remotely hints at it being a symbol of us already being saved. It would go directly against Romans 6 where Paul says that it is he who has died with Christ through baptism are the ones who have been freed from sin (being saved). You CAN'T be saved before dying with Him through baptism, because you're NOT free from sin UNITL you have died
A great example of somebody expressing their good conscience towards God can be found in Acts 8:39. After Philip baptized the eunuch, he went on his way, rejoicing. He had a good conscience towards God because he had heard and obeyed the gospel.
Decieved? No deception here. Test the spirits, C.Moore. Your beliefs simply are not stacking up to the word of God.

Yes, but obeying commandments is not salvation.

I might sound like the Rev Leanord, but here we go Joh:3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

I can`t just think about it and I know it`s foolish to you because the bible says:1Co:2:14: But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Again obedienece is not salvation , it the thing you do after believing and recieved the new birth.
Again obedienece is not salvation

I am glad you at least admit the truth about this:I'll agree that it was because of their faith in God that they obyed what He told them to do, but belief only didn't save them... it was their faith
notice the faith came first, and without the faith nothing else can happen.
Do you actually believe that they could have believed and not obyed God (not building the ark or getting into it), and still be saved?
This is my point about the chair that I explain, first believe, and the believing will make you want to do the do, but I don`t do the do withouit belief coming first and being the most important part to make me what to work.

You said the key to the good new message of the gospel in your verse you gave and that is;He had a good conscience towards God because he had heard
being saved by accepting jesus and repenting of thier sins and dieing to thier flesh before baptismo.
I am not calling you a devil or satan so don`t get me wrong Kevin because I know you are a man of God
But the devil know the bible also
still going
It would end a whole lot sooner if they'd only address our arguments.

When did we become sinners ?
When is the blood of Jesus used in salvation or being saved?
Is the Blood of Jesus in effect after the water baptism or before on us?
When are we righteous, after baptism or before?
When are we Justifyed ,after baptism or before?
When are we forgiven of our sins , after baptism or before?
Can a person enter Heaven if he is righteous through Jesus Christ?
can a person enter heaven if he is just through Jesus christ?
When does a person recieve the Holy Spirit?
I hope to here from you soon
peace
c.moore,
Instead of asking me question why don't you address the points that I made in my last post? Seems like there is enough "meat" there for you to chew on awhile.
I heard from His saving grace say that he is a chritian but he doesn`t beleive in the cross and the new testament is only man made, and I`ve seen people like the Jehovah witness back up that jesus is not God biblically , and I seen Mormons back up their doctrine that they must also work for their salvation and their whole religious doctrine is based on water baptism and external works, even in their mormon book they have a scripture saying that they are saved by grace after all we can do 2Nephi 25:23
I have this from a ex- mormon, and he said that he left the church because he found out that he must trust God and not his own works, according to Ac:4:12: Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
the next scripture that open his heart to leave the cult was the scripture Eph:2:8: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph:2:9: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
I found out the truth that he he went on his own works he is boasting on all that he did, and worked for and obeyed for,but he finally found that relationship with Jesus is what he only works for praise God.
The Muslims think the same that they must work to get into their paradise , and go to mecca so many times to be saved , and they have to pray 5 times a day , and wash their feets and go through their rituals bowing to their allah god to work their way to heaven. A ex muslim said they are tired of all the works and they still don`t know if they will go to heaven.
jehovah witness fight t9o give out as many watch tower papers and win as many people to their society so they can gain points in their new kingdom. they are always trying to earn and obey their way to the new kingdom on earth. SAD
I even seen people says healing has stop because they don`t have no power, in them and the HOly Spirit is not in their churches, because they are caught up in their own works and they doN´t let the Holy Spirt work.
You said we have our difference in belief , but let me tell you how dangerious this is.
Let`s take a piece of pie that look so good from the outside and I am hungry, and you want to give me a piece of this pie, but you say C.Moore I have made this pie and I know how to cook the best pie in the world and I even had a study in cooking as a chief cook, but I mixed only one tea spoon of a deadly poison in the pie , for sure I, and noone else will eat you pie no matter how you show how good it looks.
But Hey; you might get a couple of fools who might still take the chance eat your pie, or you doctrine of water baptism.
I know by my pie I offer many wil take the pie because I can promise there is no poison in my pie, specially when they see other eat and be happy, Joyful, peacefuy, and full, and gentle, and have more love, and overflow in life and understanding and they see the powers flowing out of them and they see that they have the right to raise the dead heal the sick, help the needy without going broke and etc praise God.
I think people like this kind of fruits.
Sorry Kevin that I didn`t answer your quetion yet ,but I will start on the next post I just got carryed away in my typing and my relationship with God sometime just start flowing out of me .
I`ll have to stop, because I think I am on my tv program preaching again.
I`ll be back.
Look for yourself kevin did you see salvation iwritten in any of those sriptures?,
I didn`t see any .

No , we are saved as soon as we repent and believe and trust Jesus not our works.
Ro:10:9: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Ro:10:10: For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Ro:10:11: For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Ro:10:12: For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
Isn't repentance and belief works?
Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. (John 6:29)
1Pe: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 ChristJ
How do you gain relationship and good conscience? Have you not read Galatians 3:27?
But solid food is for fullgrown men, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil. (Heb. 5:14). Doing God's will in faith and obedience, gaining entrance into Christ, will exercise our conscience. There will never be an obedient conscience that has not done what is required unto obedience of faith

Ac:2:37: Now when they heard this,( they were pricked in their heart), and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Ac:2:38: Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Note : first they ask how and what shall they do and notice they wewre pricked or better to say moved in their heart to believe and 2nd repent like in ROM 10:9, and 3nd receive baptism to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost like Jesus did when he came out the water the dove fell on HIM., not salvation.
O, you mean that you are the recipient of the Holy Spirit before you are saved? Peter said that baptism saves (1 Peter 3:19-21). Now, he was an inspired apostle. You are just a man like me. Who are we going to believe, an apostle or a man ?
We are justfied by faith and we are righteous by faith . Ro:5:1: Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Ro:5:2: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Are you saying that being baptized is being unfaithful or not having faith? Surely you’re not saying that, but if you are justified by faith only then you are being unfaithful if you repent and are baptized. Can you receive the Holy Spirit and be unfaithful? C.moore, can’t you see how deep your hole is getting?
Ro:4:3: For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
How did Abraham believe God? What shows that he believed God? Lets read the bible:
By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out unto a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. By faith he became a sojourner in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: for he looked for the city which hath the foundations, whose builder and maker is God. (Heb..11:8-10). Looks to me like Abraham did some works. He obeyed...he went...he became a sojourner...he dwelt in tents...he looked for a city. Abraham was a great worker unto righteousness. Your problem, c.moore, is that you've got your mind mixed up on what faith is and what it is not. God wants us to work (by grace...through faith...)
Ro:4:5: But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
We are not "Davids" and do not live as David. Neither are we thieves on the cross. We are subjects of the Perfect Law of Liberty (James 1:25) which requires faith and obedience. Baptism is to be obeyed before one is saved (Mark 16:16).
