Subject: Where does it say "MUST be baptised" |
Bible Note: Rowdy, I'd like to offer an observation on your response, if I might? Your statement,"That's why I think it's best to go with the more safe option and be baptized for the right reason, rather than face Judgement Day without it" appears to show uncertainty with regards to the full extent of Christ's sacrifice on the cross. I might be misunderstanding the response, but I'm reading your words as indicating that something is lacking in His death and vicarious atonement that would require us to "just be safe" rather than face judgement? When Jesus said "it is finished", did He not mean exactly that? Maybe you could clarify if I have in any way assessed you incorrectly. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
