3 | Do you have to be baptized to be saved? | Rom 6:3 | Tim Sheasby | 22291 | ||
NO! You have to be baptised for the remission of your sins (Acts 2:38). Since sin is what separates us from God and baptism along with repentance is what remits our sins (package deal) you are saved simultaneously with being baptized | ||||||

You said: "baptism along with repentance is what remits our sins (package deal) you are saved simultaneously with being baptized" Sorry, my mistake. I thought Jesus' atoning death was what saved us. I didn't realize it was our own WORKS of repentance and baptism which did it. I didn't realize His work on the cross was a total waste. Go figure. I guess I better go back to the drawing board! |

5 | Do you have to be baptized to be saved? | Rom 6:3 | Tim Sheasby | 22444 | ||
Let me clarify and rephrase: There are two aspects to our salvation. God's part was to pay for our sins by offering His Son, the perfect Lamb of God, as a sacrifice for our sins. Our part is to repent and be baptized for the remission of our sins (Acts 2:38). Baptism saves us by bringing us into contact with the Cleansing blood of Christ. Baptism brings us to the place where God's sacrifice can do its work. In Christian Love Tim |

Baptism is simply a sign and seal of the covenant of grace we have through Jesus. It is a sign, nothing more. Jesus saves. If baptism saves us, then Jesus doesn't. And the Bible is clear that Jesus saves us. That is why I earlier said that we must be saved first in order to be baptized. God's sacrifice does not need water in order to be effective. Christ's work on the cross was sufficient. One who is not a Christian does NOT become a Christian by getting dunked. One becomes a Christian by trusting in Christ for an alien righteousness to be imputed (credited) to his account before a holy God. We are saved by faith and not by works, (including the work of baptism). Only once a person is saved does getting baptized mean anything. It is a sign of the covenant of grace. It SIGNifies ("sign") that we are in that covenant; it is a seal: it says we are sealed into that redeemed relationship with God through Christ. It does not save us; it is EVIDENCE that we have been saved by the Spirit of God APPLYING the redemption which Christ ACCOMPLISHED for us. |
