1 | What if you don't obey that command? | Rom 6:4 | kalos | 57025 | ||
"VI. THE CONDITION FOR SALVATION "A. The Condition. Salvation is conditioned solely on faith in Jesus Christ. Nearly 200 times faith, or belief, is stated as the single condition in the N.T. (John 1:12; Acts 16:31). That faith must be placed in Christ as one's substitute for and Saviour from sin. (...) "B. The False Additions to Faith. Through the ages other requirements in addition to faith have been wrongly added." One of these is: (...) "2. Baptism. Baptism is the visible testimony to one's salvation, but not a condition for it. Acts 2:38 should be translated, 'Repent and be baptized on the basis of the remission of sins.' Acts 22:16 teaches that baptism followed the arising, just as forgiveness followed the calling on the name of the Lord. The two parts of the verse should be kept distinct. Mark 16:16 is probably not a genuine part of Mark's Gospel" (p. 1950, Ryrie Study Bible, Moody Press, 1978). |

Again one scripture quoted by itself. Act 16:31 is a good EXAMPLE of why we who do believe need to be baptized. The story starts in Act 16:22 Paul and Silas were imprisioned and the jailer was commanded to guard them securely; 25 and after midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hyms to of praise to God. 26 and there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison house were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's chains were unfastened. 27 And when the jailer had been roused out of sleep and had seen the prison doors opened, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisioners had escaped. 28 Paul cried outwith a loud voice, saying, Do yourself not harm, for we are all here! 30 And after he brought them out, he said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" 31 And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved, you and your household." 32 They spoke the word of the Lord (the entire gospel of Christ) to him together with all who were in his house. 33 And he took them that very house of the night and washed their wounds (Paul and Silas from their blows), and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household. We know they used water here to baptize because they washed their wounds also and you need water to wash wounds. Notice they went they very hour of NIGHT to be baptized after him and his household had heard the entire word of the Lord preached to them. |
