1 | Isn't Baptism neccessary for salvation?? | Rom 10:9 | One | 73218 | ||
People quote John 3:16 so much do you understand the context of John 3:16? Nicodemus was told we must be born again of water and the spirit but Nic didn't get it so Jesus had to try to make it simpler for him. To me if we believe we will be baptised. Here lies my bone about baptism too, many people teach people to be save you must quote a prayer thats not in the Bible nor do we have and example of any where. Yet when it comes to baptism, wich is in the bible they leave it out all together when teaching of Jesus. Yes they do baptize them a year or a month later and I chanlange any one to show me a passage there anyone waited for any length of time to be baptised. | ||||||

Thanks One. Right, John 3:36 shows that "faith alone" is not the intent of John 3:16, "He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not OBEY the Son wil not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." And if you follow the chapter three text, you see that baptism is under discussion. "John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people were coming and were being baptized." When you understand John 3:3,5 in the context of baptism, it is not surprising to read the words, "there arose a discusion on the part of John's disciples with a jew about purification." The two water baptisms that are spoken of the in the New Testament were FOR the forgiveness of sins. Baptism is not a meritorious work, it is a work of faith. God's grace saved me when I got baptized in faith. Good day. |
