1 | Baptism in order to be saved? | 1 Cor 12:13 | JWeaver | 181433 | ||
My question is this, what if one repents and accepts Jesus Christ as Lord and savior but cannot get baptized before death,is he saved? Before you answer, remember that peter witnessed a household that received the Holy Ghost but were not yet baptized. this adds a second question, can you receive the Holy Ghost and not be saved?(see acts 10:44-48) Also what about those that cannot comprehend? ( Children,mental ill,etc.) The reason for my question is many read into the statement"Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved,but whoever does not believe will be condemned" (mark 16:16)that you must be baptized to be saved. In my opinion,"believes" includes Accepting Christ and repenting. you are then saved and the Holy Spirit enters to help guide you in your new birth you will then proceed to be Baptized into Christs Church. This would be one continuous action if possible. I would like opinions and reasons for the opinion. Thanks. |

1 Corinthians 12:3 would seem to imply that first one would receive the Spirit.Some thing's are not for us to know.Deut 29:29. Belief in what God has done, not what man can do, is what results in salvation. Baptism is simply a public demonstration of the inner work of regeneration. Some early manuscripts do not include 16:9-20 |
