A Very Sad "Saved" Man
  When the Ethiopian was saved, when the jailer was saved, they rejoiced. But what about Saul? Some wrongly contend that Saul was saved on the road to Damascus even though he had not yet been told what to do to be saved. It was not until Ananias told him to "arise and be baptized" that his sins were washed away.

  If Saul was "saved" on the Damascus road he did not rejoice. He remained blind for three days and did not eat nor drink. Those things prove he was a miserable man. Saved people are not miserable. You can say he was under stress, but he is the one who taught "rejoicing" so much even under stress.

  The fact of the matter is that Saul was NOT saved on the Damascus road and was not saved until he obeyed what he was instructed to do. Peter said baptism saves (1 Pet. 3: 21). From what does it save us? We are saved from sin and from false denominational doctrine about baptism.
