JamesGraves, Some here will say it is "not necessary but it is important to obey the Lord." Other says it is necessary for slavation because of John 3:5, Acts 2:38 and Acts 9:5, 18, Acts 22:16. I would say it is necessary unless you are prevented from being baptised for some reason like the thief on the cross. For extensive debates on the subject got to the Quick Search box on the right side of the screen and enter "baptism" and hit search. You will get more than enough of both sides. But even those who say baptism is not necessary to be save say it is necessary to be obedient to the Lord's command and to make a public profession and witness of your faith. So get baptised and both parties sides will be happy Emmaus |

The Lord will be happy as well. If you listen very closely you may hear a voice saying, "I am well pleased". It's one of the times when it is better do do than to know. | ||||||

Axien, Well said. By the way, in reference to our other exchange. For what it is worth, if your are interested in a book that addresses the concept of tradition, both captial T and small t, look for this book: Tradition and Traditions by Yves M.-J. Congar Basilica Press 1966 Simon And Schuster ISBN 0-536-00173-1 This is not cheap and not light reading, but a very scholarly work. So if your interest is casual this would not be for you. I got somewhat mixed messages in your two posts last night. One seemed to express an interest and the next seemed to say the opposite. Emmaus |

Sorry about the mixed message, Emmaus. I have a passing interest; it is not deep. I have spent many years in the education system and have been struck by the lack of balance between knowledge and application. My present orientation is to action rather than to much more study. However, I do find a need to keep digging into the Scriptures. As for other writings, I browse in order to keep aware. It is simply where I am right now. And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. |
