Subject: What does water baptism do? |
Bible Note: My friend, What I am saying is, in this whole thing about salvation, that water baptism is included in God's grace through faith plan, and I stand by that! Everywhere salvation is someone has been baptized by immersion, and your question is weather or not it is connected with salvation? If we sreach the book of Acts carefully we can see that baptism is connected with salvation by garce, Acts 2:38, 8:36-38, 10:44-48, 16:30-34, 19:1-5, 22:16. If baptism by immersion was not necessary for salvation it would not be in the bible. Now this must be said, IT TAKES FAITH IN GOD'S WORD TO BELIEVE THAT POINT! GREAT FAITH! I say that because many have been taught for so long that baptism is not a part of God's salvation plan, but the bible teaches different. Men are to Hear the gospel, Romans 10:17. Believe it John 20:30,31 Repent of their sins Luke 13:3,5 Confess the name of Jesus Christ before men Matt 10:32,33 Be baptized for the remission of sins, Acts 22:16; 2:38; Live faithful to the Lord, Rev 2:10 You have seen many alter calls that don't include these points, because men are teaching for doctrine, the commandments of men. Matt 15:9 Baptism is something men submit to, no one can baptized their self, because we are dead because of sins. |
