There are a multitude of scriptures on this subject posted on the Forum, easily brought up by plugging in the word baptism or its variations into the search engine. One must study diligently and pray over this subject quite a bit. As you've already sumised, there's a tremendous variety of opinions on the matter, spanning the full spectrum so I can only encourage you to be open minded to God's Word and use His Word in its whole. I would encourage you to stay on the Forum and keep studying but ultimately you must make up your own mind and face God with that decision. That's why I think it's best to go with the more safe option and be baptized for the right reason, rather than face Judgement Day without it. In answer to your specific question about "Must" I don't think you'll find that kind of specific command in God's Word. I believe that's God's way of maintaining his position of complete freedom of choice He gives us. I do infer we can take His Words on this matter and the examples of baptisms in the Bible as being imperative but it probably couldn't be proven in a court of law. I think that's the way God prefers it. So, God bless you and I would be interested in your response. |

Rowdy, I'd like to offer an observation on your response, if I might? Your statement,"That's why I think it's best to go with the more safe option and be baptized for the right reason, rather than face Judgement Day without it" appears to show uncertainty with regards to the full extent of Christ's sacrifice on the cross. I might be misunderstanding the response, but I'm reading your words as indicating that something is lacking in His death and vicarious atonement that would require us to "just be safe" rather than face judgement? When Jesus said "it is finished", did He not mean exactly that? Maybe you could clarify if I have in any way assessed you incorrectly. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
