This is an example of FALSE GRACE folks! Easy Believism will send many people to Hell being decieved by these False Preachers.
Yes! The First step is to Believe on Jesus Christ but why does it stop there for so many? What about Works? Yes it has nothing to do with our own works as in Eph.2:8,9 don't get me wrong. But to twist this scripture and say that works are not necessary at all is a lie. Here's Why: Let's begin in:
James 2
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
...18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
19Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

Ephesians 2:10
For *we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Repentance is a GIFT and not a work.
Baptism is NOT a WORK! The work was all done by Jesus, all we need to do is follow Him through the door unto salvation.
*we – those which are baptized into Jesus’ name and filled with the Holy Ghost as ONLY we are a product of His work done on the cross. –I say we — we could easily be YOU as well, just follow the Doctrine of Salvation.

Romans 6 --Apostle Paul is explaining the Baptism Process and How it remits sin and How we received Christ Spirit. Also note, just as in Ephesians Paul is talking to the Church, people already Baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost from the book of Acts. Therefore, if you are not baptized in Jesus name then Paul is not talking to or about You!
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? We must die out to sin in repentance!
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him (HOW) by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
Just saying that you ‘believe’ does not accomplish this process and you are NOT saved. YET!
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
(when we are buried in Baptism we are dead with Jesus BUT when we are raised out of the water and filled with His spirit we are made alive in Christ)
He draws us to the water--when we are baptized He is with us in death--when we are raised out of the water He is in us in newness of life.
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Romans 8
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
You MUST have Christ in YOU to be in His body—the Church.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
The baptism of the holy Ghost is necessary!
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? We must die out to sin in repentance!

11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 1:16 (King James Version)
16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
The Gospel is what saves you not any religion ,pe...rson and belief per say. Some believe if I believe in Jesus I am saved. Just by believing plus nothing equals salvation.This is an example of MORE FAKE Grace.
The word of God says:James 1:22 (King James Version)
22But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

If works were not important than why does the bible mention it so many times?
Titus 1:16
They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Revelation 20:11-13 (King James Version)
11And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
Obviously the people believed on the Lord and what Peter preached Because they ASKED MEN and Brethren WHAT SHALL WE DO(to be saved)? and Peter tells us:Acts 2:38-39 (King James Version)
38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized ...every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.
So What's next? Obedience!
Then they obeyed because they received His word:Acts 2:41 (King James Version)
41Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
Hebrews 5:9 - Jesus is the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him.
Abraham Heb.11:8 - By faith he obeyed God and went to the place God eventually showed him. Did God reward him before he obeyed, or only after he obeyed?
Mark 16:16 (King James Version)
16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Now Does it say:" He that believes and is not baptized will be Saved?"No it doesn't. True faith will always have Works with it !
16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Now Does it say:" He that believes and is not baptized will be Saved?"No it doesn't. True faith will always have Works with it !
Acts 19:1-6 (King James Version)
Acts 19
1And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,2He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
3And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
4Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
5When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
The Holy Ghost brings about a righteous work in us! Amen. Notice Paul was saying this for a reason. Without the Holyghost we are not Christ's!
Romans 8:9
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
So to be Christ's we must have the Holy Ghost. These disciples obeyed Paul's teaching just as Acts 2:38!
So there you have it one must have Faith and Works to be saved. Jesus Bless you!
Have you obeyed Acts 2:38 since you believed?
