1 | Saved by belief or belief and baptism? | NT general Archive 1 | rb8 | 201123 | ||
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 |

Hi, rb8. You stated, "As we celibrate Easter, remember that Chist's death an resurrection is sufficient." I would like to point out that in conjunction with the death and resurrection of Christ, the Bible also teaches that the burial of Christ is also a vital component in our salvation experience. The Gospel, according the scriptures, is comprised of three steps: 1. The Death of Jesus 2. The Burial of Jesus 3. The Resurrection of Jesus 1 Cor. 15:1-4 1 Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you — unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, Romans 10:16 tells us that not everyone has "obeyed the gospel." The three points of the Gospel, as stated in 1 Cor. 15, correspond to the instructions given by the apostle Peter in Acts 2:38: 1. Repent [Death] 2. Be Baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins [Burial] 3. Receive the gift of the Holy Spirit [Resurrection] According to Rom. 6:4 and Col. 2:12, we are buried with Christ by baptism. In Christ, tdc |

Dear tdc, What rb8 means by the use of the word sufficiency is being fully adequate to the purpose for which it was intended to accomplish. The question at hand (the context) is baptism's connection to salvation. Rb8 is saying that Christ's work is sufficient unto salvation. Baptism provides no efficacy in that sense. In Him, Doc |
