Actually my question was asked because no one on the forum has yet to answer it. Let me reword it. Where in the Bible does it say that water baptism is no more than a sign? And please do not reply unless you use scripture, thanx. Kin |

After 900 postings on the subject of "baptism", if your question has not already been asked and answered, then it probably never will be answered. I will ask and answer a question of my own. Q: Is water baptism necessary for salvation? A: "Salvation is conditioned solely on faith in Jesus Christ. Nearly 200 times faith, or belief, is stated as the single condition in the N.T. (John 1:12; Acts 16:31). (...) "Baptism is the visible testimony to one's salvation, but not a condition for it. Acts 2:38 should be translated, "Repent and be baptized on the basis of the remission of sins." Acts 22:16 teaches that baptism followed the arising, just as forgiveness followed the calling on the name of the Lord. The two parts of the verse should be kept distinct. Mark 16:16 is probably not a genuine part of Mark's Gospel" (page 1950, Ryrie Study Bible, Moody Press, 1978). |
