16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
There it is...plain and simple....read the verse YOU provided very closely....
16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
The instruction of Matt 28:19 clearly says that they should baptize in the name of the Father, AND of the Son, AND of the Holy Ghost.

Because the POINT of using "in the name of" means "BY THE AUTHORITY OF".Ok, I wasn't sure if that was your point. That is a good point. We don't see the anyone else doing exactly that either. Peter must have disobeyed as well.
Acts 10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
What do you think of only Jesus's name being used and not all three?
Key word IMAGINE. I've seen no proof they taught the law. I don't base my understanding on the book of imagination. God has shown us what they taught from Pentecost on. The same thing that got them beaten and tossed into jail. That is what they were teaching, Christ.
Yep, baptism comes before saved in that verse.
Just like we see in Paul's conversion. At what point in his conversion were his sins washed away?
Acts 22:16 And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name.’
I see your point. Thanks for continuing to point that out. Here's my problem with that logic. That isn't proof they taught the law.
Do you think becoming a Christian comes with a memory dump and a new upload? That is not the case. These people have been taught these things for over a thousand years. It's going to take time to fully understand the law of liberty.
Is it sinful to observe the Sabbath Day?
Rom. 14:1 As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. 2 One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. 3 Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. 4 Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
5 One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God.
14:10 Why do you pass judgment on your brother?
You're asserting your thinking into Matt. 24 as well. The weak brother will not want to travel on the Sabbath but the stronger will. They are both brothers in Christ.
God has shown us what the 12 taught from Pentecost on and it wasn't the law. Teaching the law didn't land them in jail or get them beaten. They taught Christ.

Context determines what it means.

Acts 22:16 And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name.’
I'm not willing to play your game.We already have the context. Are you unable to give a straight answer or merely unwilling?
The instruction of Matt 28:19 clearly says that they should baptize in the name of the Father, AND of the Son, AND of the Holy Ghost.
I'm not willing to play your game.
By the revelation that they were given AT THAT TIME.
Paul received an abundance of revelation, including the revelation NOT to baptize (with water).
Obviously not. Have you been reading any of my posts?Are you alleging that was a "baptismal formula" with specific words to be recited?
Not, so irrelevant.If so then there is no scriptural record of anyone performing that.
The water baptism that Israel was performing was by the authority of God. It was right in line with the duties that God had given them.Scripture tells us that they in the name of Jesus with water and received the Holy Spirit.
Because the POINT of using "in the name of" means "BY THE AUTHORITY OF".
The authority is God.
I know how much you hate dispensationalism. Nobody is arguing against baptism being necessary in the church Peter and James ran.
Im only guessing here, but I take it you believe you are part of spiritual Israel?
That is nothing but more of YOUR own ideas.
Acts 10:13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 10:14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have NEVER eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
Why not?
Matthew 23:1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, 23:2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: 23:3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
"Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean."
That was Moses Observing, SPIRIT Led Peter saying that - WAY "AFTER Pentecost" - Peter observing "all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." - Matt. 28:20.
For as Mark put it...
Mark 16:20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord WORKING WITH THEM, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
Okay, your turn - time for you to read MORE of YOUR unfounded ideas into these things.
Isaiah 8:20
You try to force all of scripture to be "the same". It's not and you cannot discuss why, because you have a false paradigm that forces your hand.You are unwilling to say that "love one another" and "love thy enemy" is a standard that applies to everyone, including you and me? What has greater importance to you that would prevent this simple confession? No wonder there's so much strife and argument on this board.
Lol, gotta luv ya, in your obviously "unlearned" notions.
That is referring to the symbolic intent of ISRAEL's water purification OF THE FLESH ritual.
Ananias was "a devout man ACCORDING TO THE LAW, having a good report of ALL the Jews which dwelt there," Acts 22:12.
Oy-vay and...

Acts 17:11, 12.
