Jesus taught in Mark 16:16... he that believeth AND is baptized shall be saved. Jesus continued in verse 17... and THESE SIGNS SHALL FOLLOW them that believe.
..they shall speak with new tongues. Have you been baptized since you believed? Have you spoke with new tongues since you believed? Jesus taught in John 3 that we MUST be BORN AGAIN of water (Baptism) and of Spirit (receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost) or we cannot enter the Kingdom of God. Jesus asked: and why call ye Me Lord, Lord and do not the things that I say? (Luke 6:46)
Are you doing the things which Jesus said? The Promise is for you and your children and as many as the Lord our God shall call. (Acts 2:38-39)
In Acts chapter 19, Paul came to Ephesus and found some Disciples there. They believed on Jesus. They loved Jesus. They were trying to live for Jesus as best they knew how. Paul asked them, "Have you received the Holy Ghost SINCE you believed?" (Since means between then and now.) They answered Paul that they had not even heard whether there was such a thing as the Holy Ghost. So then Paul asked how they were baptized. They answered that John the Baptist had baptized them. Paul explained the Scriptures to them and the need to believe on Jesus. Being baptized was not enough. They had to be re-baptized in the name of Jesus. WHEN THEY HEARD THIS, THEY WERE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS. (vs 5)
After, Paul laid his hands on them and the HOLY GHOST CAME ON THEM; and they SPAKE WITH TONGUES and prophesied. We find, according to this passage of Scriptures, that believing on Jesus alone is not sufficient. If it was, Paul would have said great and just went on his way. But Paul explained to them the need to be baptized. And not just baptized anyway but baptized IN THE NAME OF JESUS. After they were baptized, he didn't leave it as though receiving the Holy Ghost was optional. He laid hands on them, and as the Holy Ghost came on them they SPAKE WITH TONGUES. Jesus has that same wonderful gift available to you. Come, be baptized in the only name by which we are saved and let Jesus fill you with the Holy Ghost.
