Subject: What does water baptism do? |
Bible Note: Greetings Grace and Truth, I have been accused of many things on this Forum, but I have never been accused of not having read the Bible, until now. I read the Bible every single day. And yes, I believe that the Bible plainly teaches that you don't necessarily have to undergo water baptism in order to be saved. As you can already see, I really do not need the help of all of my resources to prove that what you are saying is not plainly supported by the Bible, since I have backed up all of my responses with Scripture references. I forgive you for writing the post that I am now finding myself writing a response to. But you will find that such accusations like "you haven't read the Bible" have absolutely no effect on such 'seasoned' Forum members like myself. Blessings to you, Makarios |
