Page 88 - SoulWinning Crash Course

It's interesting to note that the last time Paul mentions a "baptism" in the
book of Acts (Acts 22:16), he associates the washing away of sins with
"calling on the name of the Lord." Whatever role water-baptism could
play at the time, Paul chose to emphasize a verbal confession of faith as does

the salvation passage in Romans 10, wherein baptism is not mentioned at all.

Admittedly, one's salvation is not technically complete until he receives the
Holy Spirit. Campbellites apply this fact to Acts 2 and then stretch Acts 2
over the rest of the New Testament.

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."
