1 | What does it mean? | Bible general Archive 1 | Timothy Paul | 77179 | ||
Yes, it is possible for forgiveness to follow baptism, but is it necessary? Luk 5:20 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. Luk 7:48,50 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven... And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace. 1Jo 2:12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. So I must ask the question, If Baptism is necessary for salvation, is that not salvation by works? Man can do Nothing to earn it, remember Ephesians 2:9? Eternally yours, Tim |

If repentance and confession are necessary is that not salvation by works? No. Neither is it salvation by works if baptism is necessary. It is like you didn't even read what I posted. I said, "It is not as though you are earning anything. You are just doing what God has commanded, and in the end you receive a gift which never could have been earned." If you do anything out of an attitude that God owes you a return then you are wrong. Luke 17:9 "He does not thank the slave because he did the things which were commanded, does he? Luke 17:10 "So you too, when you do all the things which are commanded you, say, 'We are unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done.'" |
