1 | Could cain do well? | Gen 4:7 | inhisname | 79836 | ||
When he says, "Hence those who have thought that baptism is nothing else than the badge and mark by which we profess our religion before men, in the same way as soldiers attest their profession by bearing the insignia of their commander, have not attended to what was the principal thing in baptism; and this is, that we are to receive it in connection with the promise, "He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved.' (Mark 16: 16.)" Without baptism he is not saved? Calvin didn't think Holy Spirit baptism was an outward sign of earlier salvation? Or he didn't think water baptism was an outward "insignia" of earlier salvation? Surely he was wrong. I think all of those verses are talking about Holy Spirit baptism. Water is not mentioned. That must be the answer. Peter commanded Holy Spirit baptism in Acts 2:38 and the other verse. I'll study more. |

inhisname, It seems you are a little confused. Calvin wasn't right on many things but he clearly understood the purpose of water baptism. Baptism is connected to the promise of salvation (Mk.16:16) Stop and take a breath and reassess your position. You needn't be afraid of the truth. Bless you, Samantha Hear the Gospel, Believe it, Confess it, Repent and aline with it, Be baptized into it. - Acts 22:16 |
