THE ACTS 22:16 QUESTION   by steve finnell

I know what theologians, Bible college professors, preachers, Bible commentaries, priests, statements of faith, creed books, self appointed Bible scholars believe about the meaning of Acts 22:16; but what do you believe?

Acts 22:16 'And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.' (NKJV)

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IT MEANS?

A. Why are you waiting, Saul, your sins were washed away 3 days ago on the road to Damascus, go and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.

B. Saul, arise and be spiritually baptized in the Holy Spirit, washing away your sins.

C. Saul, you were saved and your sins were washed away 3 days ago when you believed in Jesus on the road to Damascus, however, just in case that did not take, arise and be baptized washing away your sins again, calling on the name of the Lord.

D. Saul, you do not have to be baptized in water to have your sins washed away, but in order to join the Ananias Baptist Church you must be baptized.

E. Saul, arise and be baptized as a testimony of your faith.

F. Saul, even though it is not essential to salvation, arise and be baptized because you should follow the commands of Jesus. 

G. 'And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.'

Select one.  A. B. C. D. E. F. G.
