God's Plan of Salvation
In the Garden of Eden, God commanded Adam not to partake of forbidden fruit, because “in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die” (Genesis 2:17). It was “the serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan” (Revelation 12:9) who contradicted God when he said, “You will not surely die” (Genesis 3:4). On the Pentecost after Jesus’ resurrection, God’s Apostles commanded: "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:38). Those who believed that command was “God’s plan of Salvation” were the Holy Spirit, the Apostles, and those who obeyed it. Only the Devil would say: “Believing that Acts 2:38 is God’s Plan of Salvation will take you straight to Hell!” - November 15, 2021

Salvation and Prayer: Words of Wisdom Mini Article Available
In the New Testament, there is no record of a sinner being saved by prayer alone. When the church of Christ began, sinful Jews asked, “what shall we do?” Peter told them to, “Repent and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins” (Acts 2:38). The first Gentile sinner, Cornelius, was praying, but was told to send for Peter to tell him saving words (Acts 10:30; 11:14). Peter “commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord” (Acts 10:48). Saul of Tarsus saw Jesus, Who sent him into Damascus where he prayed, and was told to “be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord” (Acts 22:16). None of them were told only to pray, claim their salvation, or join the church of their choice. This mini article and others is now available in Words of Wisdom Articles.

QA: Why Should I Be Baptized Again? I've Confessed
QUESTION: Why should I be baptized again? I've already been baptized in water. - 8/30/2020
ANSWER: The gospel was first preached on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:38, 41), demonstrating that repentance by itself did not save them. When Philip joined the eunuch's chariot and preached Jesus, confession by itself did not save him (Acts 8:37-38). The Holy Spirit taught the meaning of baptism through Paul (Romans 6:3-4). ...

Salvation and Worship: Mini Article
“So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read” (Luke 4:16). Jesus began His public preaching in a Jewish synagogue. A “synagogue” was a local Jewish worship place. “Custom” is what He was brought up doing: going to “church!” People who obey the Gospel will worship with the saved. The people who were told to “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins” (Acts 2:38). “Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. … And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers” (Acts 2:41-42). Salvation brings one into church worship. That church of Christ began 3000 strong. - April 19, 2021
