Bible Question (short): Repentance and Confession - obedience? |
Question (full): Aren't repentance and confession step of obedience? Let me answer that, yes they are. What makes them any different than baptism? God makes a comand and we obey, not out of a sense of entitlement, but because we love Him and want to follow him. God's gift is exactly that- a gift- we never could earn salvation. Baptism is not an added step, it the final step in a clearly delineated process. I once believed as you do regarding baptism. I got tired of twisting the Bible around to fit my beliefs. I just accept it for what it says. May God bless you. |
