1 | believeth and is baptized | Mark 16:16 | Searcher56 | 222941 | ||
God's day to you, Read my post 113864 on this verse. In the early church people were baptized right after they were saved. Today, most churches delay. Baptism never savs. While we delay baptism, we allow one to take the Lord's Supper right away ... tho Paul warns about if we do it wrong. S |

Hi Searcher56 Could you please clarify these statements. When you say 1) "Baptism never saves." - - - True 2) "Today, most churches delay." - - - This is also true. 3) "While we delay baptism, we allow one to take the Lord's Supper right away" - - - True again 4) "Thou Paul warns about if we do it wrong." While the 3 statements of yours are all true, you never say, just what it is that you believe Baptism does give us. Although in your number 3,4 statements you do allude to some special significance assigned to Baptism. If Baptism does not afford us anything, why then should those that are not Baptized, be excluded from communion? Why then in your opinion is today's practice wrong? In our attempting to answer the question of whether or not Baptism saves, the best arguments against Baptismal Salvation, would be the scriptures themselves, which describe just what we do attain from Baptism, thereby nullifying any clams that (Baptism does indeed Save). Grace be unto you lightedsteps |
