1 | AO, was His John 3 not in effect? | John 4:14 | Searcher56 | 103311 | ||
It is not true that "that everytime someone becomes a christian they are baptized" ... Let us look in Acts at the salvation experiences: -2:41 ... 3,000 saved and baptized -4:4 ... 5,000 is total ... no mention of baptism -5:14 ... many added ... no mention of baptism -8:14-17 ... Samaritans ... who were baptized -8:34-39 ... Ethopian ... who was baptized -9:5-19 ... Paul ... who was baptized *10:44-48 Cornelius and his house ... who were baptized -16:5 ... the norm during Paul'a trip is that baptism is not mentioned, except twice ...16:14-15 ... Lydia and her household ...16:31-34 ... jailer and his family *19:5-7 ... the 12 disciples of John weren't even baptized Moreover, nowhere do we see that we need to be baptized to be saved. Read the posts for the verses the Campbelites like to quote. |

How many times must something (such as baptism) need be mentioned to make it a commandment of God? Must God mention it every time He gives us an example of conversion? AO |

Searcher, If an Apostle taught that baptism was required, was that their own opinion or God's command? Acts 2:38 38And Peter said to them, "Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. NAS Acts 8:36 36And as they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, "Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?" NAS Acts 16:32-34 33And he took them that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household. NAS Acts 18:7-8 8And Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his household, and many of the Corinthians when they heard were believing and being baptized. NAS We could go much further, but why do we need more? AO |

Greetings AO! No one disputes that baptism is commanded of Christians. The dispute centers on the question of whether or not baptism is necessary for salvation - i.e. - no baptism, no salvation. Notice that not one of the verses you cited actually says that one must be baptized to be saved. They simply speak of the command to those who have already repented to be baptized. We all agree there. But, speaking of what the Apostles taught, Acts 16:30-31 clearly spells out what is required for salvation. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
