Is celebrating birthdays biblically wrong?
First of all I love Jesus with all my heart and believe that I am saved . I have been baptized and I have repented of my sins and have received the holy ghost. About 4 months ago I started at an apostolic church and we do receive our messages through scripture however it was brought to my attention that if I wasn't baptized in Jesus name I wouldn't enter the kingdom of God. I have truly believed in my salvation . I acknowledge Jesus and I have always believed that my baptism was right. I was shattered and so confused about this that I am asking for help in finding the scripture that will bring some comfort to my beliefs. If I have been baptized in the Father Son and Holy Ghost and he is one, isn't that the same as being baptized in Jesus name?
Can I get scriptures that support baptism as part of salvation besides Mark 16:16?
Are all sins created equal? For example, like comparing someone who committed suicide to someone who said God's name in vain. Would they both receive the same punishment?
I was reading 1 Timothy 5:9 and was wondering how many years are threescore years and does this passage mean the church is not responsible for widows until this age?
