1 | Do you have to be baptized to be saved? | 1 Pet 3:21 | Romans4_5 | 59391 | ||
Eph 2:8-9 for instance, is a part of PAUL'S Gospel, the gospel of the grace of God, which was *NOT* revealed on or before Pentecost. At Pentecost we still have Israel's gospel of the kingdom being preached. At this time, water baptism was REQUIRED for salvation. Mark 16:15 does NOT say be saved and then be baptized. It clearly says,"He that believes and is baptized shall be saved!". THIS is the message Peter preached on Pentecost (Acts 2:38). However, when God raised up the Apostle Paul, He began a NEW dispensation (Eph 3:2), where FAITH ALONE is enough, because the full ramifications of Christ's FINISHED WORK are now manifest. This is why Paul's salvation message in Acts 16:31 is DIFFERENT than Peter's in Acts 2:38. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." Water baptism was once required for salvation, but not anymore! Actually, we could say water baptism is FORBIDDEN today. Water baptism is a WORK, and according to Romans 4:5, salvation is to the one who DOES NOT WORK, but only believes!! Don't forget, there is ONE BAPTISM today (Eph 4:5), it's not water baptism, it's being baptized into Christ (see 1Cor 12:13). |

acts 16:31 you quoted, if you read further down to verse 32 and 33 says;And he took them the same hour (the jailors family) of the night,and washed their stripes; and were baptised he and all his, straightaway.don't quote out of context. ps i am not a BAPTIST but i take my lords example of baptism and obey him because I love him. | ||||||
