1 | Isn't this verse saying that we rise to | Rom 6:4 | Morant61 | 56214 | ||
Greetings the Bible is Right! 1) Does Acts 16 mention baptism? Yes, of course is does. The normal routine was for someone who had been saved to obey the command of Christ and be baptized. However, in Paul's response about what one must DO to be saved, baptism is noticebly absent! So, am I hiding something? No! :-) But, Paul never said that the jailer must be baptized to be saved did he! 2) What about John 3:5? This has been dealt with many times, but John 3:5 never mentions baptism. It does mention being born of water, but this is explained in the very next birth as being physical or natural birth. 3) You say that baptism alone does not save, but Scripture does say that faith alone saves (Eph. 2:8-9) and Scripture explictly rules out any role of works in salvation. The good news my friend is that we can't nor need to do anything to be saved. I don't know why so many keep trying to add something to free grace! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Now to rightly handle scripture, you must go by the results and outcome of the whole story, let's look, verse 32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. What do we learn here, Paul and Silas spoke unto them the Word of the Lord, What words, did they tell them to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of there sins? I believe that's exactly what they were told, Acts 2:38, 8:35-39. "But, Paul never said that the jailer must be baptized to be saved did he!" If Paul or Silas spake the word of the Lord, they were told to repent and be baptized, because that's what the Lord said to do Acts 2:38; 8:35-39 "What about John 3:5? This has been dealt with many times, but John 3:5 never mentions baptism. It does mention being born of water, but this is explained in the very next birth as being physical or natural birth." Tell me please, that you don't believe John 3:5 is talking about "phyiscal or natural birth" because Nicodemus brought that up in verse 4 when he said "How can a man be born when he is old? can be enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? So for anyone to believe that is verse 5 is talking about phyisical or natural birth are wrong, wrong, wrong. And the Bible is right! "3) You say that baptism alone does not save, but Scripture does say that faith alone saves (Eph. 2:8-9) and Scripture explictly rules out any role of works in salvation." The bible talks about three kinds of faith, and for anyone to believe that faith alone saves, have very weak faith. Strong faith produces action, and all who heard the gospel obeyed what they heard and the Lord added them to the church. Eph.2:6 says he raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: vs. 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. If you can prove with the bible that this verse is talking about baptism I would believe it! The text does not say, Faith alone! All those in this church were baptized into Christ. |
