He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. (Mar 16:15-16) After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized. (Joh 3:22) ...the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John... (Joh 4:1-2) ...Men and brethren, what shall we do? Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost...Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. (Act 2:37-41) ...they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women... (Act 8:12-13) Then Philip...preached unto him Jesus. And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God...and they went down both into the water...and he baptized him. (Act 8:34-38) ...Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost...and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

(Act 16:14-15) Then he...fell down before Paul and Silas, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And they spake unto him the word of the Lord...and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. (Act 16:29-33) And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized. (Act 18:8) Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. (Act 19:3-5) For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard. And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. (Act 22:14-16) Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? (Rom 6:1-3) brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; (1Co 10:1-2) For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles... (1Co 12:12-13) For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. (Gal 3:26-27) There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism... (Eph 4:4-6) ...Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. (Col 2:11-12) ...in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. (1Pe 3:18-22) Review the above and ask yourself the importance of baptism to Jesus and his disciples; why would you not be baptized, knowing what the bible says about it? Could not find one New Testament example of conversion by sinner's prayer. |

Sirs - the word baptism means, emersion or put under. The context of it's use is not always "water". As far as salvation, the obvious example is the thief on the cross, unless you don't consider paradise salvation. Rom 10:9-13 give a clear basic formula for salvation, trust an acknowledgement. 1 Pt 3:18-22 the conclusion here, is not outer washing but an inner appeal "but the answer of a good conscience toward God". Heb 9:14 It is His blood that cleanses the conscience. The book of Galations lays the foundation for Christ alone. And yes, as an act of loving obedience (2 Tim 1:8) disciples are called to a public assoication with Chrsit in "water" baptism. This act is a show of what has taken place in the beliver, not an establishment of it. As we celibrate Easter, remember that Chist's death an resurrection is sufficient. in Christ, rb8 |

rb8, This is a subject that has long been debated by Christians here on the forum and other venues and as such has been misquoted, misstated and in some cases trivialized. We get into these things because we don't let God's Word speak for itself. Sound basic Bible study principals can put allot of these debates to rest. Example- The thief on the cross. It's obvious that he could not be baptized. Here is an example of where time and when are critical in our understanding. The baptism understood at this time was John's baptism. The baptism we have today did not come until Pentecost. This is part of sound basic bible study. (2 Timothy 2:15, 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21.) Study this subject out in light of Acts 2:38, Romans 6 ect. It all fits together. In Him, lionheart |
