Subject: Faith plus Baptism or Faith alone? |
Bible Note: Greetings Arrow1! No, I do not see faith or repentance as works. They are nothing more than a mental response to God's gift. They don't do anything in and of themselves. Baptism, on the other hand, is something that we do or have done to us. Allow me to illustrate! Someone offers you a check for 1 million dollars (sorry, but not me)! You accept it! Did you do something to earn it? No! Salvation is a free gift. There is nothing that we can or must do to earn it. We simply have to accept it, which is what faith is.
