Romans 10:8-21
Easy-to-Read Version
8 This is what the Scripture says: “God’s teaching is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart.” It is the teaching of faith that we tell people. 9 If you openly say, “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that God raised him from death, you will be saved. 10 Yes, we believe in Jesus deep in our hearts, and so we are made right with God. And we openly say that we believe in him, and so we are saved.
11 Yes, the Scriptures say, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disappointed.” 12 It says this because there is no difference between those who are Jews and those who are not. The same Lord is the Lord of all people. And he richly blesses everyone who looks to him for help. 13 Yes, “everyone who trusts in the Lord will be saved.”
14 But before people can pray to the Lord for help, they must believe in him. And before they can believe in the Lord, they must hear about him. And for anyone to hear about the Lord, someone must tell them. 15 And before anyone can go and tell them, they must be sent. As the Scriptures say, “How wonderful it is to see someone coming to tell good news!”
16 But not all the people accepted that good news. Isaiah said, “Lord, who believed what we told them?” 17 So faith comes from hearing the Good News. And people hear the Good News when someone tells them about Christ.
18 But I ask, “Did those people not hear the Good News?” Yes, they heard—as the Scriptures say,
“Their voices went out all around the world.
Their words went everywhere in the world.”
19 Again I ask, “Did the people of Israel not understand?” Yes, they did understand. First, Moses says this for God:
“I will use those who are not really a nation to make you jealous.
I will use a nation that does not understand to make you angry.”
20 Then Isaiah is bold enough to say this for God:
“The people who were not looking for me--
they are the ones who found me.
I made myself known to those who did not ask for me.”
21 But about the people of Israel God says,
“All day long I stood ready to accept those people,
but they are stubborn and refuse to obey me.”
Hi, this passage explains the message of faith to all people: Who can be saved?
Joel 2:32
Names of God Bible
32 Then whoever calls on the name of Yahweh will be saved.
Those who escape will be on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem.
Among the survivors will be those whom Yahweh calls,
as Yahweh has promised.
What does the passage explain to be the requirements for salvation?
* Declare Jesus as the Christ
- believe he was raised from the grave by God Almighty
- truly believe in Jesus as the Christ and God approves you as sincere
- preaching the Good News about Jesus in faith and you are automatically saved
The meaning of Romans 15:8 is better understood in a different translation:
Romans 15:8
Living Bible
8 Remember that Jesus Christ came to show that God is true to his promises and to help the Jews.

I don’t know where you are Laverne. You seem to believe like the rest of today’s Christians that is;
If you believe a man called Jesus died and was raised from the grave you will be saved;
which is the biggest lie in today’s Christianity.

TRUE Christians are seeking to return to HIS HOLINESS from whence mankind fell due to the disobedience of Adam (Romans 5:12–14; I Corinthians 15:21–22) to receive “ETERNAL LIFE”
Romans 6:23 says “THE GIFT is ETERNAL LIFE” and “THE GIFT” is defined as Holy Spirit baptism in Acts 2:38 and Acts 11:17.

Eternal life is real meaning the body continues forever and never dies. your baptism is not eternal life but simply your agreeing to the terms to receive the gift of life before others and before the throne of God. True Christians have not received salvation so there is nothing to return to. This is merely the hope that you can.
Philippians 2:12
Names of God Bible
12 My dear friends, you have always obeyed, not only when I was with you but even more now that I’m absent. In the same way continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

(((YOU))) don’t have a baptism
Baptism belongs to God (John 1:33) who gives “THE GIFT” when “He baptizes you with the Holy Ghost” (John 1:33; Acts 1:5) and you receive (((POWER))) (Acts 1:8) to become the sons of GOD” (John 1:12–13).
You’ve been taught catholic BS!
“A man can receive (((NOTHING))) [Baptism included; John 1:33] except it be given him FROM HEAVEN” (John 3:27).

Acts 2:38 merely says that once you are baptized and you come up from the water you will receive the holy spirit that does not mean that you have receive salvation.
2 Corinthians 1:22
Living Bible
22 He has put his brand upon us—his mark of ownership—and given us his Holy Spirit in our hearts as guarantee that we belong to him and as the first installment of all that he is going to give us.
Ephesians 1:14
Names of God Bible
14 This Holy Spirit is the guarantee that we will receive our inheritance. We have this guarantee until we are set free to belong to him. God receives praise and glory for this.
Gentiles or non-Jews also offered salvation:
Acts 11:17
Living Bible
17 And since it was God who gave these Gentiles the same gift he gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to argue?”

Laverne Acts 2:38 didn’t say (((NOTHING!)))
Peter (((CAN NOT))) ***OVERRULE GOD***
Who said Holy Spirit baptism in Acts 1:5 is the “one baptism” (Ephesians 4:5) but Peter said water in Acts 2:38; (((THE OPPOSITE))) of what Jesus said in Acts 1:5.
What makes you (((THINK))) Peter can ***OVERRULE GOD***???

Peter did not overrule in any way, but the Gentiles are now offered salvation not just Jews alone:
John 4:22
Easy-to-Read Version
22 You Samaritans worship something you don’t understand. We Jews understand what we worship, since salvation comes from the Jews.

STOP SAYING THAT WHEN (((IT IS WRITTEN))) or you are calling JESUS A LIAR which is “BLASPHEMY” (Matthew 12:30–32).
You heard Jesus say Holy Spirit baptism in Acts 1:5 but Peter said water in Acts 2:28.
Isn’t that (((THE OPPOSITE))) of what Jesus said?
Doesn’t that (((OVERRULE JESUS)))???
What are you saying then?
Are you from the nationality of Jews?
Why do you quote John 4:22 when Romans 2:28 says
“For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God?”
