What must I do to be saved or born again?
There are three scriptures in the Bible that addresses this question. The point that I would like to get across concerning salvation is that all scripture points to salvation which is the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The belief in the redemptive act of Jesus Christ leads one to repentance, baptism in Jesus name and the reception of the Holy Ghost as mentioned in Acts 2:38, which is also “the keys of the kingdom of heaven” mentioned in Matthew 16:19. According to Matthew 16:19, and Acts 2:38, the keys are; Key #1. Repentance, Key #2. Baptism in Jesus Name, Key #3. Reception of the Holy Ghost. Let’s take a look at these scriptures to see the continuity of God’s Word according to Acts 2:38.
1. John 3:1-5. In this scripture Nicodemus wanted to know how to be born again. Jesus said except a man be born of the water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. This scripture was consummated in Acts 2:38. The water was the baptism in Jesus name and the Spirit was the reception of the Holy Ghost. (Romans 6:3, Colossians 2:12)
2. Acts 2:37-38. In this scripture we see an example of the first sermon of the new church preached by the apostle Peter. After the sermon, the people were pricked in their hearts, so they asked Peter and the apostles what must they do. In other words, what must we do to be saved or born again? Peter told them in Acts 2:38 that they must repent, and be baptized in Jesus name for remission of sins and they shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
3. Acts 16:27-34 In this scripture one would have to have knowledge of the history of the gospel and the method of salvation. The jailer asked Paul what must I do to be saved? They said that he should believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. What happens at this point is that most people who don’t know or don’t want to know the gospel will stop right there. However, one must read the rest of the scripture which says they spake the word of the Lord (gospel) to all that were in his house and they were baptized. How were they baptized?
Well we know that Paul only baptized in Jesus name according to Acts 2:38 and Acts 19:1-5. In fact, Paul himself was baptized in Jesus name Acts 22:16. I know that some won’t believe in the baptism in Jesus name, therefore, the Word of God will become a stumbling stone because of their unbelief. They will try to manipulate God’s Word to follow their own philosophies and traditions of unbelief. They deny the power in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, thereby, following the doctrine of devils. They will not mention God’s name in baptism nor his Spirit in their traditional form of salvation which comes out of the mouth of men (II Timothy 3:5).
