Only place where someone asked, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" is Acts 16:30. The jailer asked Paul and Barnabas this question. The only place an Apostle answered this question is Acts 16:31 which says, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."
Thank you Sam. I hadn't seen that before.

How far inland would that whale have to go to reach Nineveh?
Swam up Tigris river and spat him out on the ground there?
Off course, since Jonah boarded ship in Joppa, the whale would first have had to swim out the Straights of Gibraltar, circumnavigated the continent of Africa, passed through Hormuz and thence up the Tigris.
To do this in 3 days time would have been difficult, but not impossible. Well, virtually impossible. Okay, Jonah probably had to walk across Aram from the Mediterranean coast to infiltrate Nineveh.
Today Nineveh is 1000 miles from the sea yet Jonah the prophet , swallowed by the Whale fame, lived there and was buried there. Jonah did not walk 1000 miles to be swallowed by a Whale the sea was proximate to Nineveh at that time.
I'm really taking a chance linking to him here. Apostolics tend to pick up on this type of wackiness and embarrass themselves.
"God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth."
This is most often interpreted as a requirement to worship with vibrancy and with the knowledge of Acts 2:38, rather than with the inner man and without pretension.

I am a firm believer in the Old Paths
Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
another one some times misquoted is Eph 5:26 which I've heard quoted by Baptists as "that he might sanctify and cleanse it by the washing of the water of the word,"
