1 | What if you don't obey that command? | Rom 6:4 | kalos | 57022 | ||
"In 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Paul gives a concise summary of the gospel message he preached. There is no mention of baptism." ------------- You claim: "the entire gospel is not preached including baptism." 1 Cor. 15:1-4 (ESV) Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, [2] and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you— unless you believed in vain. [3] For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, [4] that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 'If baptism were necessary for salvation, we would expect to find it stressed whenever the gospel is presented in Scripture. That is not the case, however. ... 'Paul never made baptism any part of his gospel presentations. In 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Paul gives a concise summary of the gospel message he preached. There is no mention of baptism. ... Paul clearly understood baptism to be separate from the gospel, and hence in no way efficacious for salvation' (http://www.gty.org/IssuesandAnswers/archive/baptism.htm). |

In 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Paul in speaking to the bretheren (saved), , I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also you have received (already received), and where in you stand (I take this to mean they have already "believed" were baptized and now they are believers (belonging to the family of God). 2By which also you are saved (already baptized, born again, saved), if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless you have "believed" in vain.3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scripture. 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.5 And that he (Jesus) was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve. The reason baptism is not mention is because Paul is speaking to the brethern, believers, born again already. |

So you are saying that when Paul defined the gospel in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, he omitted baptism because "Paul is speaking to the brethern, believers, born again already"? If that is so, then why does Paul bother to define the gospel at all? After all, he was speaking to believers and, according to your logic, they would already know the definition of the gospel. This statement of yours makes less sense than anything you've said yet. |
