101 | Belief in God? | James 2:19 | sniper | 78902 | ||
Disciplerami, I definitely think that for a person to know that there is a God to be sought after, they must have faith. The faith is only alive if they seek, right? For instance, the one who makes an idol has faith, but it is misplaced and not seeking. Therefore, it is a dead faith. Am I thinking correctly? Also, could you give me a definition of oughtness? Thanks and God bless. |

103 | How Does Baptism Save? | 1 Pet 3:21 | sniper | 75516 | ||
SRP, We agree that Jesus is the Savior, not the baptism. We also agree that baptism is not a removal of dirt from the flesh. We can both plainly read that in the verse. However, I choose to believe what else can be plainly read in the verse, "Baptism now saves you." There is an explanation within the verse which fits with Jesus as the Savior. Baptism is an "appeal to God for a good conscience-through the resurrecton of Jesus Christ."(NASB) The verse does not say that water has a magical power, or that it is merely a bath. The verse does not say that baptism is a testimony of something that has already happened. It does say "Baptism now saves you...through an appeal to God for a clean conscience-through the resurrection of Jesus Christ." Please refer to my first answer to the question for further explanation of faith. |

A person is saved by faith, but read James 2:24. This is the only place in the Bible that you will find the words faith and alone together. "Not by faith alone" God must see our faith, otherwise it is a dead faith. You will understand this if take James chapter 2 at face value. Abraham was not due a favor for his works(Romans 4), thus his faith saved him. Abraham's faith would never had been known were it not for his works(James 2). We work(obey, heed,etc.) because we love God and have faith in Him, but we do not expect a payment for our work. We only are doing what a faithful servant should do. | ||||||

I must confess I am not sure why you pointed out the "you sees". I do know that if there are no works then there is no faith. The only way to see faith is through works. Belief is not enough for salvation. Obedience through faith must also be present. If a person has been baptized for the remission of sin, and has works in keeping with repentence, then I will not call them a pseudo- beliver. | ||||||

I was saved by God when he brought me safely through the water, just as you were saved by a fireman who brought you safely through the fire. Q: Did you build the fireman like Noah built the ark? |

Do I detect humor? That is actually funny, good answer. I am not sure if there is any theology in that or not. Don't be so literal. The eight were brought safely through the water and baptism corresponds to that (type/antitype-the idea is that one is a shadow of the other not that they are exactly the same). |

I explained. Type/antitype. Shadow of the real thing. Reading the passge literally and understanding the type/antitype relationship will give a proper understanding. | ||||||

True, Noah did not get wet. Noah was brought safely through the water though, and that is where the similarity is. God bless and have a good weekend:) |

Joe!, I am not familiar with the term "household baptisms". The Bible teaches that a person must believe and repent. If the whole household believed and repented, then they all participated in a valid baptism. Acts 16 tells us that the household was baptized so according to the Bible they all must have believed. Speculating, it is possible that a member felt pressure to be baptized and didn't really believe. In that case, the baptism did them no good. I am not aware of a doctrine which teaches household baptism, whereby the household leader believes and his belief is transferred to the others because of his position. If I am misunderstanding your question, please enlighten me. God bless. |
