Who was Jesus speaking too there??? JEWS! He was telling them, as John the Baptist did, to Repent and be Baptized. That was the thing being discussed here. Not our believe on FAITH. We the church are to believe on faith. Nothing else is required. Paul makes it clear, FAITH and FAITH alone. Believe in what Jesus did on the cross. That is ours. The church’s. Faith in Jesus Christ. No works. Faith. Our works come AFTER we are saved. What we do after we are SAVED. Baptism is not part of it. This was Jewish. Christ came to fulfill the OT covenant to the Jews. Not to the church. As he told his Disciples, go not to the Samaritans or Gentiles, but the lost sheep of Israel. This is Jewish here in the line of Scripture you sent me. Not church.
Anyone that claims to be a Christian and thinks he does not need to be baptised BY WATER in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, has a problem. Or was Jesus just blabbing on and didn’t really mean it when he said to go out to all nations and baptise in the NAME OF THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT! Some 1,500 years before radicals broke away from the church and have been trying ever since to to manglee and twist the Bible around to make it mean what they want it to say instead of what God said! Does not work that way!
And faith without works IS DEAD! Try reading James. Yes the same James that Martin Luther called a liar and tried to expunge his words from scripture!
