Since the Bible is the inspired Word of God, these two verses must not contradict each other. They must be in harmony. Correct? Therefore, there must be common teaching in each of these verses. Romans 10:9 mentions confession and belief. Acts 2:38 mentions repentance and baptism for the remission of sins. These two verses together cover everything I mentioned as being required for salvation. So why do you want to cling to one verse and ignore the other?

Can you se the irony in that statement? ONE PLACE Baptism for the remission of sin is used... and YOU chose to ignore the many many times where the teaching is clear it is by faith/belief.

So it is not Harley cherry picking a verse it is YOU
