1 | is water-baptism needed for salvation? | Eph 2:8 | lionheart | 223888 | ||
Good day to all, This has been an oft discussed subject here on SBF in the past. Our salvation is the most precious thing we possess, It is Gods greatest and most precious gift to us. If our focus is on God and His Word we will see what saves and what doesn't. God doesn't make it a mystery to those who truly seek him. We can't allow doctrinal bias or preconceived ideas to cloud our vision, instead as 2 Timothy 2:15 states study to show ourself aproved unto God a workman that need not be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth. It's all there for us. Are we willing to allow God and His Word to speak and then do what it says. I can say this, if we do we won't be disappointed. In Him, lionheart |

2 | is water-baptism needed for salvation? | Eph 2:8 | CDBJ | 223899 | ||
Well taken! God's plan of salvation even as God himself hasn't changed since man first walked this earth. The Old Testament believers trusted in the work of the promised Messiah that was to come. We have the privilege of knowing who that Messiah is, Jesus Christ the righteous. God’s plan, for those who will inherit eternal life, is for those whom He foreknew to place the entirety of their hope of living with and in the presence of God for all eternity solely in the work that God would accomplish on the cross in the God Man Jesus the Christ. There was no baptism for those that trusted and believed God in the Old Testament that had anything thing at all to do with their salvation, and as such water baptism has noting to do with ones salvation in the New Testament! Malachi 3:6 (A) For I am the LORD, I change not; Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Trust in Christ “only for eternal life” or “try and add” to His finished work and miss out on the eternal blessings that God has for those that put “all” of their hope for the future in Jesus God’ unique Son! 1 John 5:10-13 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
