2 | Is baptism required for salvation? | John 3:5 | jlpangilinan | 52123 | ||
Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. If you have the time to obey it please do. Baptism in water cannot save you, it is your faith and grace of Christ. Baptism in the water is a church ceremony but it is important because as Jesus said in John 3:5 If you really to obey Christ obey His command, because I dont believe as a follower of Him you will disobey His command such as John 3:5 Lu 23:41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. Lu 23:42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. Situation of the saving in the cross is different matter, in that situation they have no time for fulfilling baptism, but how many times that will happen in physical? It happen once Jesus Christ crussified just once. In our situation we have a lot of time to fulfill baptism if you can do it why not. God bless, Johnny Lu 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. |

If baptism was required for salvation the thief on the cross would not have been in paradise with Jesus. Also Jesus said, "It is finished." There is nothing else we have to do to be saved, except to believe upon God's Son Jesus Christ. As an outward expression and obedience to God we are baptized as an open profession of Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Get baptized out of obedience to Christ. |

I dont know if you disagree with or what kindly read my post again before commenting to it Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. If you have the time to obey it please do. Baptism in water cannot save you, it is your faith and grace of Christ.

I was trying to make a point that NOT being baptized will not keep you from heaven. Another point I must make is that baptism doesn't guarantee that one is saved. Some have been baptized who are not yet saved, they did it for show, to please men rather than God, and they have not had a true conversion of the heart. It is ultimately down to an issue of the heart. "Man looks on the outward appearence but God sees the heart." "Confess Me before men and I will confess you before my Father in heaven"- Jesus said Confessing Christ before others is really what is at stake here. Yes, baptism is an essential part of your being born again. Don't anyone misunderstand me. Yes, I have been baptized. Three times in fact. I have been trice dipped and for three different occasions all as an outward sign of an internal conversion, or as a rededication of my life to Christ. Don't, by any many means, neglect being baptized if you are a born again believer. But if you know of one who has not yet been baptized, and they are a true believer in Christ, and for some odd reason they died before they had the chance to be baptized, they have not been disqualified for that reason. If they had a genuine faith they will see the kingdom of God. Now, if you are a true believer by all means get baptized, by submersion and not just a sprinkle...lol. Confess Jesus Christ openly to others, by this act. I got a few more things to say before I end this. St. Francis of Assisi said, "Preach Christ and if you have to, use words." I add to that in my words, NOTHING SPEAKS LOUDER THAN A CHANGED LIFE! Live your faith out in practical everyday living and don't forget to smile, laugh and touch others lovingly. It can make a world of difference in their lives and in yours. Be Jesus to them. To some, their only exposure to Christianity is you. Be loving, gentle and kind but never compromise on your convictions, stand up for truth and what is right. This will not make you popular but it will make you known for integrity, which is something lacking in this day and age. It's not "What Would Jesus Do", it's "what would Jesus have me" do that counts. In His service. Love and hugs.-Joshua Olinger |

I dont said that baptism in the water will save you but you have to obey it because it is part of the commandment of Christ. Kindly take a look again part of my statement: If you have the time to obey it please do. Baptism in water cannot save you, it is your faith and grace of Christ. Baptism in the water is a church ceremony but it is important because as Jesus said in John 3:5 Now if you dont obey it, it is not my problem it yours. Christ is the one responsible of saying this in John 3:5 not me. God bless, Johnny |
