1 | Saved by belief or belief and baptism? | NT general Archive 1 | kalos | 515 | ||
Short answer: Baptism is merely an outward symbol of an inward reality. 1 Pe 3:21 NASB "Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you--not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ," "Though water itself cannot save, baptism with water is the vivid symbol of the changed life of one who has a conscience at peace with God through faith in Christ." (Ryrie Study Bible) . . . "For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law " (Rom 3:28 NIV). We are justified by faith alone. We are saved by grace through faith plus nothing. We are not saved by grace through faith PLUS baptism. "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast." Eph 2:8-9 NASB |
