1 | What can we do to have salvation | NT general Archive 1 | arrow1 | 114318 | ||
Why point out there is no mention of baptism in 1 Cor. 15:1-4, there is also no mention of faith, belief or repentance. But, it does say your saved if you hold firmly to the word. In almost all of Paul's letters, he is speaking to Christians, people that are already saved. It wouldn't make sense to repeat every little detail of their conversion every time he mentions the Gospel. It would make sense to speak of faith because once your saved, you would continue having faith and living faithfully. If repentance were necessary for salvation, wouldn't you also expect to find it stressed whenever the gospel is presented? Your "analogia scriptura" is selective and not consistent. sincerely, arrow1 |

arrow1, In all of Paul's epistles, he never speaks of (water) baptism as necessary FOR salvation. That is why the 1 Cor. 15:1-4 passage is notable. One cannot miss the distinctiveness of Paul's ministry (and the weight of his epistles) as compared to the other apostles unless you fail to understand the transitional nature of the Book of Acts.
