1 | Was the thief on the cross baptised? | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 176735 | ||
Bruce - Thanks for responding. I believe I get the picture. You didn't submit scriptural proof for your statements about the two "other kinds" of baptism because there isn't any. You didn't even provide definitions of these two others kinds of baptism as I requested. Could it be that you don't know enough about them to define them in language that all who run can understand -- or possibly, that there is not such thing as two other kinds of baptism? ..... Bruce, we are pretty much sola scriptura people on this forum and don't put much stock in extra-biblical references. In fact, I have no idea what "CCC 1258 and 1259" means, though I suppose I could Google it if I were all that curious, but really I'm not. Of course, I don't agree that the Bible is insufficient of itself without the authoritative interpretation of the successor of Peter. I don't believe there is or ever was any successor of Peter -- unless Peter happened to have sired children, and even so, no interpretative authority was passed down to them either. Thanks again. Let's stick with what we know and can show by Scripture to be true and trustworthy -- on this Forum, at any rate. Please do read the guideliness once again and have a good day. --Hank | ||||||
2 | Baptism by gesture or required? | NT general Archive 1 | OzMatt | 176741 | ||
Please excuse my ignorance here, but do you have to be baptisted to enter heaven? - What of those who repent on their deathbeds to fellow Christians at the last minute of their lives, and hence are not Baptisted due to circumstances? Is not Baptisim just a symbolic gesture to the rest of the world that you are a follower of Christ, not the thing which allows you to enter heaven? |

God's day to you, OzMatt, This has been discussed many times. But, we read Acts 16:30 and after he brought them out, he said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" :31 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." |

Baptisim is an outward show of an inward change, and we do it to be obediant to the scriptures and to represent the change from the old man/sinner to the new man/saved. Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. Baptism is the changed heart Rom. 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. No sence being baptised if your not willing to except Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal savier. All your doing is going down a dry sinner and comming up a wet sinner. Someone said it's like taking a bath with your dirty clothes on. Focus on the soul having a renewing of the mind, baptism is a symble of that. Hope this helps, Carol |
