You should stick to the Bible instead of falling for every false doctrine that appears in front of your face.As it is written..."Faith cometh by hearing..." (Rom 10:17)
I heard about it.
Which is why you continue to think repent and be baptised to receive the GIFT of the Spirit is speaking to you.We don't agree on that.
You'll need to move past that before you can have the Holy Spirit dwelling in your.
It is also proof of a real turn (repentance) from sin.
That is what Peter said in Acts 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."
See, you're stuck right here. No wonder you're confused.
Sorry , but you are using one false doctrine to prop up a...mis-thought.
The only "works" Paul preached against were the works of the Mosaic Law, ie. circumcision, dietary laws, feast keeping etc.
Oops, you forget that Paul was the Apostle to the Gentiles. He had no need to preach against those works except when preaching to the Jews.
Obeying John or Peter to get saved today is a work alright.Obeying an apostle's directions on being saved in not a work of the law.
By the grace of God we are equipt with all the things we need to do for salvation...Thanks be to God.
Do you consider "trusting" and "believing" to be "works" that can't exist alongside grace
We believe unto righteousness. Just that simple. It's called the obedience of FAITH.
Romans 16:26
But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
