1 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | Greg Martin | 64714 | ||
Hey if you want to walk around telling God that what He does for your salvation is no good until you improve upon it, that's your perogative... Rom 1:16 If the power of God is not sufficient for you, If Christ and Christ alone is not good enough for you, tell it to God. If The Perfect One has cleansed you, why would you feel the need to smear the grotesque filth of your works upon it? Baptism is a consequence of salvation - Not a cause. "This sermon included baptism as a requirement of obedience unto salvation" Why would there be obedience unless one was first saved? |

Post #1 Baptism Everything I have presented has come from God's plan of salvation. I have never said or implied that it is not good enough. Sin is of a spiritual nature because God is spirit and sin is against God. The bible clearly teaches that all of us are sinners and until we come in touch with the blood (death) of Christ, we cannot take advantage of his mediation for us. We can only make contact with Christ's death through baptism, for "we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life." Rom 6:4 The only way our souls are cleansed is through baptism. The Perfect One has cleansed me, through baptism. 1 Pet 3:21 "Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you--not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ," Acts 22:16 'Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.' In another post which I have not yet responded to the writer asks why do we not today have the same urgency with baptism today. I believe a lot of it has to do with the belief that it is 1) not necessary, 2) not important, or 3) is a work and we are not saved by works, and 4) although it is something a person does "after salvation" you can do it whenever you have time. This my friends is blatant perversion of the truth. Below are all scriptures I could pull from the NASB feature of this website pertaining to baptism, manhy of which refer to the baptism which cleanses us from sin. I must break this up into multiple posts because of the content constraint. |
