Bishop G E Patterson - fussing thread (see other thread for nice things)

NOBODY has aswered the question yet: Can ANYBODY be saved outside of obedience to Acts 2:38? Why are there no answers to this?

Timmy, you are obeying Matthew 28:19 when you baptize in the NAME of Jesus for it IS the NAME of the Father, the NAME of the Son and the NAME of the Holy Ghost.

At the very least, folks, one would have to believe in repentance, Baptism in Jesus Name and receiving the Holy Ghost to genuinely have any claim to being Apostolic! What is with the folks that claim to be Apostolic and don't come close to believing Acts 2:38 which defines the basic doctrinal foundation.

If you think you 'become' something just because you 'claim' the title it's ludicrous... I think I'll claim to be Bill Gates! Wait... no, just looked in my wallet and I'm not Bill Gates. Why? Because I don't have what Bill Gates has! Some folks seem to claim 'Apostolic' as their title and yet seem to think you can get to Heaven in this dispensation without obedience to our basic scriptural tenet. If you fall in that category then you're NOT Apostolic because you don't have what the Apostolics had.

Much of this debate could end with the answer of the real question. Again, the question: Do you think you can be saved in this dispensation outside of obedience to Acts 2:38?
