1 | Do I have to be Baptized to be saved? | Rom 10:9 | Derdan | 77422 | ||
Listen to what Jesus said, "He who has believed AND HAS BEEN BAPTISED, shall be saved" Mk 16:16, see also Matt 28:19. Listen to what the apostle Peter said in carrying out the command of his Lord. "Repent AND each of you be BAPTISED in the name of Jesus Christ, FOR the FORGIVENESS OF YOUR SINS" Acts 2:28 Listen to the answer Saul (the apostle Paul) was given by Ananias, when Saul asked the risen Jesus "what must I do". "Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptised, AND wash away your sins, calling on His name" Acts 22:10,16. Paul preached and practised baptism, see Acts 16:14-15;31-33. Note what the apostle Peter wrote. " Baptism now SAVES YOU ... through the resurrection of Jesus Christ" 1 Peter 3:20. Note what the apostle Paul wrote. "For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For ALL of you who were BAPTISED into Christ have clothed yourself with Christ" Gal 3:26-27. See Rom 6:3-6, it is the "old self" that is buried in baptism, "that our body of sin might be done away with". Having buried the old in baptism we are raised from death, so that we might "walk in newness of life". see Col 2:12-13. It would seem clear to me that Baptism is necessary for salvation. That baptism is the place where the blood of Jesus washes away our sins. Baptism does not negate the need of grace, faith, confession of Christ or repentance ... but "He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit" Titus 3:5. Then we are "born of water AND the Spirit", John 3:5. I hope this is helpful to you. |

Derdan, While I believe the Lord desires that we are obedient to His direction to be baptized, I do not think it is a pre-requisite for salvation because of His own scenario with the prisoner who was hung on the cross next to Him, in Luke 23: 39 One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at Him: "Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us!" 40 But the other criminal rebuked him. "Don't you fear God," he said, "since you are under the same sentence? 41 We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong." 42 Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." 43 Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with Me in paradise." This man who heard Jesus say 'today you will be with Me in paradise' did not have an opportunity to get down off the cross and go to be baptized, yet because he had faith that Jesus is the Christ, Jesus clearly assured him he would be saved and with Him that day in paradise. |

The thief in the cross is different story it is Jesus Christ he is talking personally, for example if you are going to out in the airport if you are with the president, you dont have to go through the custom for documentations or neccessary check-up, that whats happen to the thief on the cross. Christ knows the heart of the thief, aside from that the thief has no time to go to baptism but we we have a lot of time. baptism indeed will not save you, but your faith, but baptism is a contributor into salvation, the same as the religion those things are contributor in our salvation. I dont believed that when you have faith in christ you will reject baptism which is including in His commandments. We have to be obedient Please remember the lessons from Noah: Heb 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. Did Noah just because of faith alone? Noah has faith in God that is why he obey God even it takes 120 years before the flood came, do you think if noah reject the making of ark do you think do you believed that he has faith, and do you think he will be save in flood. We have to be obedient, because we are called for holiness. Heb 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: i dont think refusing in water baptism will make you holy. If you are a believer christ will live in you and not yours. Ga 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. and if Christ lives in you He wants you to be baptise as he required Himself to be baptize of John Mt 3:13 ¶ Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.

It is my understanding that Jesus IS our example, and because of what He has done at the cross in this scenario, we see that our salvation does NOT hinge on baptism. I AGREE with you, baptism is something we do in obedience, but I sense if someone has died after confessing faith in Christ, (like people imprisoned for their faith in communist countries, for instance) but not having been baptized, then these people will be saved. The Lord knows the heart of those whom He calls to Himself and likewise, the baptism of someone who is doing it out of tradition and NOT having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, will most likely not be saved. "Many will say to Me, Lord, Lord..and He will say 'depart from Me, I never KNEW you'..(see Matt 7:23 and then Matt 25:34-40) What a sobering concept. These people were calling Him by His name, "Lord, Lord"..and yet He says, "I never KNEW you, depart from Me all you who practice lawlessness".. I find it interesting because these people thought they were believers in Him. Likewise, the verses in Matt 25 where Jesus separates the sheep from the goats and explains why these who follow Him will enter into eternal life with Him. None of the basis given says anything about being baptized, but it does list serving by faith in Him. Thanks for listening. |

Yes it is depend upon the situation, but for those has all the luxury of time then refuse for baptism, I dont think they are true believer. Quote"the baptism of someone who is doing it out of tradition and NOT having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, will most likely not be saved" and end of quote. Here I will diagree with you, christ said: Joh 14:15 ¶ If ye love me, keep my commandments. And baptism is one of His commandments: Mt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Mt 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. He said "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you" Did He commanded baptism YES! did the apostle did YES. Quote"Many will say to Me, Lord, Lord..and He will say 'depart from Me, I never KNEW you'..(see Matt 7:23 and then Matt 25:34-40) What a sobering concept. These people were calling Him by His name, "Lord, Lord"..and yet He says, "I never KNEW you, depart from Me all you who practice lawlessness".. I find it interesting because these people thought they were believers in Him." and end of quote. This concept is no relationship with baptism. We have to be vigilant on what this verse said " Mt 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? Mt 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. "Many will say" first it is there saying not Christ they are lying to Christ. They claim that they knew that they denied Christ. The very reason why christ denied them because the deny Christ. Christ said: Mt 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. He denied that people because Im sure they denied Christ, and then try to claim that they are believer. Quote"None of the basis given says anything about being baptized, but it does list serving by faith in Him."end of quote. Faith in christ maens you must follow his commandment if the time allows you: Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. It is very clear that Christ commanded water baptism. Are the bible teach differently from each of its passges no! Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, All those things are considered. God bless, |
