1 | Do you have to be baptized to be saved? | 1 Pet 3:21 | jrcannon | 2605 | ||
But what about those places that it is part of the condition for salvation? The most widely used scripture for the baptism requirement is Acts 2:38. It is undeniable that baptism is a requirement for forgiveness of sin in that scripture. I am with you in most of the references, but we can not pick and choose what we like and leave out the rest. 1 Peter 3:21 makes it abundantly clear that baptism saves, and it is baptism by water. There is not one example of someone, after pentecost, being saved without baptism. So, I am curious, how do you explain 1 Pet 3:21, Acts 2:38, John 3:3-, the numerous examples of baptism immediately after hearing the Gospel? | ||||||
2 | Please consider Jn 3:5 water and Spirit | 1 Pet 3:21 | jim | 3187 | ||
Do we need to be baptized to be saved? those who hunger and thirst will fine the answer. Jesus told Nicodemus in Jn 3:5 you must be born again to enter the kingdom, not only by water but by the Spirit. this was fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost we can debate this until Jesus comes I know we must have faith and grace also but we must obey. yours in Christ Jim | ||||||
3 | Please consider Jn 3:5 water and Spirit | 1 Pet 3:21 | JonnyRay49423 | 3189 | ||
I was baptized when I was a new Christian over 30 years ago. When the Lord saved me I was regenerated by the Holy Spirit and have ever since lived my Christian life in the power of the Holy Spirit. I do not see any where in Scripture "second blessing" theology-there is not such thing as a baptism of the Spirit after conversion. I do believe in fresh fillings of the Spirit, but those fillings have nothing to do with what is called "speaking in tongues"-the Holy Spirit lives in the Christian and is the cause of all his spiritual growth etc. . . | ||||||

All i say is if Peter preached the first message of the Church why is not this method done. It is not a second blessing just obeying the Word of God and the Bible also tells of being filled with God's Spirit Walk with God and God bless | ||||||
