1 | Baptism-What Does the Bible Teach? | Acts 2:38 | Rowdy | 133428 | ||
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 Hank 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 PS: ANYONE doing a thorough study of my posts on this Forum would have to conclude I believe very strongly AGAINST "wishy-washy faith." I do, however believe in studying ALL of God's Word and drawing the proper conclusions that He wants drawn from His Words. I challenge you to do the homework and respond to my points cited above. Thanks. |

FACT: Nearly 200 times faith, or belief, is stated as the single condition for salvation in the N.T. False Additions to Faith "VI. THE CONDITION FOR SALVATION "A. The Condition. Salvation is conditioned solely on faith in Jesus Christ. Nearly 200 times faith, or belief, is stated as the single condition in the N.T. (John 1:12; Acts 16:31). That faith must be placed in Christ as one's substitute for and Saviour from sin. (...) "B. The False Additions to Faith. Through the ages other requirements in addition to faith have been wrongly added." One of these is: "2. Baptism. Baptism is the visible testimony to one's salvation, but not a condition for it. Acts 2:38 should be translated, 'Repent and be baptized on the basis of the remission of sins.' Acts 22:16 teaches that baptism followed the arising, just as forgiveness followed the calling on the name of the Lord. The two parts of the verse should be kept distinct. Mark 16:16 is probably not a genuine part of Mark's Gospel" (p. 1950, Ryrie Study Bible, Moody Press, 1978). |
