1 | Is this about water baptism at all? | Acts 2:38 | sniper | 77374 | ||
justme, If water baptism is openly confessing Christ before men, then why do we see examples of baptism when surely few or none were present? The Ethiopian Eunuch was in the middle of the desert alone with Philip. The Philippian jailor and his household were baptized immediately after hearing the message in the middle of the night. When Ananias came to Saul, who had been blind and fasting for three days, he told him to go without delay and be baptized. And, Peter in I Peter 3:21 clearly states that baptism is an appeal to God for a clean conscience - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Please do not think that I do not understand your position. I am the son of a Baptist preacher who has a 4 yr BS degree from a Baptist college. I was taught your position every which way, and I followed it for many years. God bless, sniper |

Sniper, I've been following your posts and I've noticed that our beliefs are very similar. It is very interesting to hear about your background, which is quite a bit different from what you now believe. I've been trying to get across in my posts that a belief in the requirement of obedience (e.g., in repentance and baptism) is completely compatible with a belief that God is sovereign and that salvation is by grace. What did you go through to make such a change, if I may ask. If you would rather not share that, that's ok. You still have my admiration. All the glory to God! God bless you, Disciplerami |
