AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 3:22 ¶ After these things Jesus and His disciples went into the land of Judea, and there He spent time with them and baptized. [John 4:1, 2] |
Subject: Must we be baptized to be saved? |
Bible Note: Baptism and the grace it confers, as I view it, is not something we do ourselves, but something that Christ does to us by and through his Body the Church. I find it incoceivable that Jesus would go out of his way to tell us to do something that is an empty ritual. It was important enough that He set the example, though He did not need to. |
