1 | Do I have to be Baptized to be saved? | Rom 10:9 | matt2122 | 77440 | ||
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. |

2 | Do I have to be Baptized to be saved? | Rom 10:9 | jlpangilinan | 77444 | ||
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 ΒΆ 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, |
