1 | Baptism in the Holy Spirit? | 1 Cor 12:13 | Morant61 | 76666 | ||
Greetings Emmaus! As you know from my many posts on this subject, I believe that baptism is important simply because it was commanded by Christ. But, I do not believe that it is 'necessary' for salvation. In other words, I do not believe that baptism imparts or is necessary to receive the grace of God. Disciplerami's statement sounds nice, but there is not Scripture which says, "When you are baptized, you receive my grace". :-) The reason those like me seperate baptism and grace is simply because to mix the two makes it a work, which cannot save. It is a response to God's grace, not a means of receiving it. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Baptism in the Holy Spirit? | 1 Cor 12:13 | Emmaus | 76670 | ||
Tim, Of course I disagree. Baptism is something done to us not by us. If it is a work at all, it is a work of God by the Holy Spirit, using the Church,the Body of Christ, to baptize those who He has drawn to Himself, which drawing is itself an act of grace. We do nothing but profess our faith and receive grace at baptism. Anyway, enough said by me on this intractible subject. Emmaus |
