1 | Do you have to be baptized to be saved? | Rom 6:3 | Steve Hennagin | 488 | ||
Would you then say that the thief on the cross was not saved because he was not baptized? And how about Abraham and David? And Moses. Is it not faith in God through His grace which saves (Ehesians 2: 8,9), as exemplified by Abraham? Read Hebrews chapter eleven gives a list of heroes of the faith, and they are commended for believing God, not for being baptized. Consider this: the records in Acts have people being saved, then being baptized. They are not saved because they are baptized, but baptized because they are saved. |

2 | Do you have to be baptized to be saved? | Rom 6:3 | arrow1 | 113434 | ||
I love it when people quote the thief on the cross wasn't baptized in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit. Think about it, how could you require him to do something that wasn't even commanded yet(the great commission) and Jesus had not yet been resurrected yet. I suppose I could argue that Abraham, David and Moses were not saved because they did not recieve the holy spirit yet( John 8:39). The New Testament says you must receive the holy spirit to be saved. Everyone in the Old Test. was under the Old Covenant, hence the purpose of the New Covenant which we today are under. | ||||||
