(Revelation 1:17, 22:13)
This will seem to be a contradiction if you don't believe Jesus is the only God. In Isaiah 48:12, 41:4, 44:6. God expresses that He is the first and last. In Revelation 1:17, 22:13, Jesus said, I am the first and last. Who is correct? This statement proves beyond a doubt, that Jesus is the same God who told the prophets in the Old Testament He is the first and last, verified by I Corinthians 10:4.
The Jews don't recognize Jesus as the One and Only True God, “The Messiah.” And there are some Christians who don’t recognize Jesus as the one and only True God. That's why God told us, “straight is the way and few will find it.”
There will be people who won't make it in, nor find the way, because of their unbelief that Jesus Christ is the one and only Almighty God. Jesus said if you don't believe "I am he," you will die in your sins (John 8:24).
People think they know who God is and they really don't. Search the scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life. Eternal life is in the believe in the name of Jesus Christ, which is the Rock of our salvation. The Rock (Jesus Christ) of salvation is repentance, baptism in Jesus name for remission of sins, and reception of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38).
When Jesus said in John 10:30, I and my Father are one (meaning the same), he helps us understand that the statement, "first and last", in the Old and New Testaments are spoken by the same God - Jesus Christ, God's highest name (Acts 4:12, 9:5).
The one Lord in Deuteronomy 6:4 in the Old Testament, is the same Lord that was born and walked among us in the New Testament - Jesus Christ. (Isaiah 9:6, Luke 2:11). Jesus Christ is the one Lord and Almighty God and without him there was not anything made (John 1:10, Revelation 1:8).

Does Jesus say, He is the Almighty?
(Revelation 1:8)
Yes, Jesus tells John, He is The Almighty. This is not a new scripture. God and the prophets have revealed this fact on more than one occasion. And Jesus cannot lie. If He said, He is the Almighty, then He is the Almighty. Why is this so difficult to understand seeing that there's only one Almighty.
How many times does the scriptures have to say Jesus is the one and only God Almighty before a person will believe?
Let God be true and let’s learn to believe His Word so that our minds will not become reprobate, believing a lie rather than believing the truth.
Jesus Christ is the Lord God Almighty because He said it. (Deuteronomy 6:4, Luke 2:11, Isaiah 9:6, John 14:9).

Are we saved by baptism?
(I Peter 3:21, Mark 16:16)
This is a unique scripture because you will find people who will argue and say that nobody can be saved by baptism. Or they will say that baptism is not necessary for salvation. Now, let’s see how baptism saves by belief in the gospel message, which causes repentance and baptism in Jesus name (Acts 2:37-38).
I Peter 3:21 means that we are not saved by the washing of the body, we are saved by a good (clear) conscience toward God. All of the apostles in the New Testament knew that baptism was extremely important to salvation. Therefore, new converts were commanded to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus (Peter) Acts 10:48, (Paul) Acts 19:1-5. These scripture texts are perfectly clear about the importance of baptism to salvation. And they are supported by Acts 2:38 and all the actions of the apostles throughout the book of Acts (Romans 6:3-4, Galatians 3:27, Colossians 2:12).
When we believe, repent and are washed in the blood of Jesus, according to Acts 2:38, we will received remission of sins and have a good conscience toward God.
I guess you might ask? Why would my conscience be clear if I get baptized in Jesus name? Your conscience will be clear because you would have followed God’s Word according to Matthew 28:19 and Acts 2:38. If you haven’t followed God’s Word, then you can’t have a good conscience toward God (Romans 6:4, Colossians 2:12).
Baptism is based on the foundation and Rock of Jesus name. We have put on Christ and we are buried with him by baptism. We know that without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins. And we know that baptism remits sins (Acts 2:38).
The apostles always taught repentance, baptism in Jesus name for remission of sins and reception of the Holy Spirit at the time baptism was performed. In other words, our conscience will be clear and our soul will be free from the guilt and shame of sin because we have been washed in the blood of Jesus Christ by baptism and we have obeyed the gospel message (II Thessalonians 1:7-8).
Why would we get baptized ourselves and tell others that it’s not necessary? Baptism is absolutely necessary for salvation according to the aforementioned scriptures. If we tell a new convert that all they have to do is confess with their mouth without mentioning repentance, water baptism in Jesus name, and the reception of the Holy Ghost, we are in error (Romans 10:9-10). Refer to question 52 in my book, Understanding the Trinity, Three Persons vs Three Manifestations.
We are saved by baptism according to Peter by having a good conscience toward God and more importantly baptism saves because Jesus said it saves in Mark 16:16.
God’s Word is extremely clear to a believer. However, to an unbeliever, the Word of God is not so clear. God’s Word doesn’t have any private interpretations but unbelievers can’t understand it. Baptism carries the blood of Jesus Christ for remission of sins, and is absolutely necessary for salvation. But let’s understand that I Peter 3:21 and Mark 16:16 are not my words, I didn't say it, God said it.
Instead of trying to prove the scriptures wrong, through the spirit of the antichrist, why not try to understand how the scriptures are true because God said it.
In Mark 16:15-16, Jesus (God) has the final word by telling his apostles that they should go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Then He says; He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. This scripture doesn’t need any private interpretation. According to Jesus Christ baptism saves and if you don’t believe it, you will be damned.
