1 | Baptism-What Does the Bible Teach? | Acts 2:38 | Hank | 133394 | ||
Hi, Brad. Of course, you do realize I suppose that you you're not reading between the lines of Scripture; that's where the fine print is :-) For instance, when Paul told the Ephesians (2:8 NASB) that they had been saved by grace through faith, the FINE PRINT (really, really fine print) adds, "but get yourselves baptized in a hurry, because it's better to be safe than sorry." (Ephesians 2:8 RV, i.e., Rowdy Version). ...... And again, in Acts 16:30,31, Paul and Silas, in answer to the Philippian jailer's question, 'What must I do to be saved?' told him to believe in the Lord Jesus and he would be saved. But they of course added (see the fine print!) "But get baptized too, because we always teach that it's better to be safe than sorry." And Paul and Silas explained to the jailer, "You see, buddy, we're not certain of what a man must do to be saved, so we always recommend baptism and throw in good works theology along with it -- just to be on the safe side, you know. After all, the motto of our teaching -- and of all Scripture, for that matter -- is "It's better to be safe than sorry." --Hank | ||||||

If you boys are finished playing, it's time to come back into school and do your homework. I'd be interested in your more thorough response to the flawed logic I identified in Kalos' article. Why don't you and BradK both take a chop at explaining why Saul and the Phillipian jailer were baptized in such a hurry? Can you quote me a verse that cites "faith only" does in fact get you salvation? That's why a person has to study ALL of what the Bible says on a particular subject, in this case salvation or being saved from our sins. Next, please explain to me exactly what was Jesus saying in his parable about chopping off hands and gouging out eyeballs? Why don't we see lots of christians without these body parts since we're all still sinners? Please explain. Thanks. God bless all of you. Rowdy |
