Bible Note: Hello dd4, Could you clarify what you said about baptism in regard to "a few things necessary to be in Christ:"? Are you saying that baptism is a necessary element of salvation? That it is in some way salvific? The challenge with using Mark 16:16 as a proof text is due to it's being footnoted in most bibles. Since vs 9:20 are not found insome of the oldest manuscripts, doubt remains as to whether it was in the orignal Marcan texts! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
