It's THE message for those who want to pay the cross to their lives.
Saved through child bearing refers to the saviour who came through a woman as foretold in Genesis 3 when the seed of the woman was foretold. It's not an alternative to Acts 2:38.
And while we're at it, you once mentioned something about judging by doctrine, which you denied was the plan. I disagree due to scripture.
2 John 1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: |
ok, but this makes
Acts 2:38 the doctrine, when the doctrine is "love one another."
"6And this is love: that we walk according to His commands. This is the command as you have heard it from the beginning: you must walk in love."
and don't get me wrong;
Acts 2:38 is great, until it gets into the hands of some OP determined to use it as a yardstick for others.
"4But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another."

I'm not sure the text agrees with your interpretation here, but regardless--that is just the first verse that came to mind at the time, in response to the
Acts 2:38 cult; Scripture provides about 50 others. And you could pick any thread on AFF to demonstrate that the
real yardstick, "love one another," is quickly forgotten in the rush to
Acts 2:38.
