1 | Do you have to be baptized to be saved? | Rom 6:3 | Steve Hennagin | 488 | ||
Would you then say that the thief on the cross was not saved because he was not baptized? And how about Abraham and David? And Moses. Is it not faith in God through His grace which saves (Ehesians 2: 8,9), as exemplified by Abraham? Read Hebrews chapter eleven gives a list of heroes of the faith, and they are commended for believing God, not for being baptized. Consider this: the records in Acts have people being saved, then being baptized. They are not saved because they are baptized, but baptized because they are saved. |

2 | What is outer darkness | Matt 8:12 | Steve Hennagin | 317 | ||
Outer darkness is a place where the light of Christ doesn't shine. From the contexts it is a place of torment: the man who did not have proper clothing was unprepared even to give an answer as to why he was there, and the unfaithful servant did nothing with the gift given him by the Lord. These passages form a strong warning about our Christian life: we are to be faithful to God who called us, beiing ready to give witness to our calling, use what He has given us for the good of His kingdom. I am more disturbed that the sons of the kingdom find themselves there. |
