Paul taught the same salvation message as Peter did.
First notice how Peter supports Paul and his epistles and even mentions those who would wrest the scriptures.
2 Peter 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
One calls on the Name of Jesus by being water baptised in the Name of Jesus. That is why the devil's filth are so dedicated to trying to undermine the importance of baptism in Jesus Name.
Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
The Apostle Paul preached the Acts 2:38 message. Notice how it is referred to as the word of the Lord Jesus.
Please examine carefully the account when Paul founded the Ephesian church.
Acts 19:1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,
Acts 19:2 He 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.
* Notice that "believers" did not yet have the Holy Ghost. *
Acts 19:3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
* Notice that Paul questioned the validity of their baptism. *
Acts 19:4 Then 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.
Note what the people IMMEDIATELY did when Paul told them to believe on Jesus. They knew that belief in Jesus included being water baptized in Jesus Name.
Acts 19:5 When they heard [this], they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Notice that they were re-baptised the Christian way.
Acts 19:6 And when Paul had laid [his] hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
Notice that when they did receive the Holy Ghost that they spoke in tongues just like every other real Christian.
Acts 19:7 And all the men were about twelve.
Acts 19:8 And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.
Acts 19:9 But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
They had devilish filth even back then who opposed the Acts 2:38 message.
Acts 19:10 And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
Notice that Paul was preaching the word of the Lord Jesus when he preached the Acts 2:38 salvation message.
Notice also the instructions Paul gave for dealing with any who would preach otherwise.
Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Notice the plan of salvation for as many as "our God" (Jesus) shall call.
Acts 2:38 Then 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.
39 For 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.
40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
3000 water baptized in Jesus Name. Now do you see why the devil's false-christian filth try to undermine the importance of Jesus Name water baptism for remission of sins?
