What are the essential steps to receive the rebirth from heaven? Brother Attila scripted this video to help our understanding by approaching the Word of God with maths and logic. Be blessed by it and share the blessing by preaching Jesus and being a "spiritual midwife".
The robber on the cross surely was unable to be immersed in the name of Jesus and receive the Holy Spirit since he was still in the Old Testament. Therefore I don't bother with that case. I live in a new contract under the law of Christ. In Ephesians 2 you read that it is out of grace that we are saved. And not through a work of the Old Covenant. But it does not mean we can be lazy. The Holy Spirit rebukes you through James that faith without works is dead.
@erdenpilger You can read what the Ephesians did when they believed and after which work they received the Holy Spirit (Acts 18+19). Last but not least, 1.Peter 3,21 clearly tells you that immersion under water saves us by asking for a good conscience.
@erdenpilger You will not find any Scripture that tells you that "faith ALONE" saves you. Luther messed up his translation by adding words. Not a good starting point from where he will stand in front of God: "Every word of God is [a]pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. Do not add to His words, Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar" (Proverbs 30:5-6). (See also Deuteronomy 4:2; Revelations 22:18-19). So also please don't add to the Word of God.
