Bible Note: yes by George I think you have it. You do understand that a baby to grow must be fed and that our christian walk is a growing process. If we are to grow, what are we to grow into, or likeness of? Christlike isnt it? If then we are to be christ like we must take the same steps of Jesus. His first step was to be baptised in water, was it not? First with water and then the Holy Spirit. if we choose not to follow after Jesus doesnt that make us as an outcast or rebellious? if we are rebellious of Christs footsteps, who is the firstborn of many bretheren,what does that make us if rebellion is as wictchcraft? So the facts as we have it are; If we are saved by asking Jesus to save us ,then we are saved and will be allowed into heaven. But if we are to be conformed into the image of His Son, which is growing process,we must follow Jesus through the waters of baptism.bless you ! YIC |
