Grace and Truth: Since many of us don't always look at the "unanswered questions" page when we are in the middle of a discussion, I thought I'd copy and send you a recent post with some excellent observations for you to consider in your thinking about baptism. Tim Moran writes: My question is simply this: If baptism is essential to salvation why: a) Did Paul say, "For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power." - 1 Cor. 1:17. And, b) Didn't Jesus baptize anyone - "although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples." - (Joh 4:2) It seems to me that if baptism were essential to one's salvation that Paul would not have been able to say that Christ did not send Him to baptize. Further, it does not seem likely that Jesus would never baptize if baptism were essential to salvation. |

I don't believe that batism is essential for salvation. I do believe that baptism is ment to be an outward expression of your love for God and is following the example of Christ. | ||||||

Greetings in Jesus' Name! As you can see, this has developed into quite a discussion on the Forum. I'm glad that we are on keyboards with one another - at least there is unity there! I concurr with your statement about baptism - we are saved BY GRACE (oh praise HIM!) and nothing else! Blessings, Mommabps |
