AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 3:6 and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, as they confessed their sins. |
Subject: being baptized |
Bible Note: I do agree that 1 Cor 1:17 say that he wasn't there to baptize. For Mark 16:16 I did get a little ahead of myself on that one, the verse does not show that it is a requirement, and in a way it is not, but it depends on how you look at it. Cornelius and Company were saved before they were baptized no question, but they are the exception. The reason why they are the exception is that they received the Holy Spirit, which is the promise of salvation, before their baptism, but baptism is clearly defined, at least to me, as the time at which we receive the Holy Spirit. So, you can look at it either way, but for most you are baptized and then receive the Holy Spirit. So it can be looked at as a requirement. |
