Subject: does one need to be baptised to be saved |
Bible Note: To answer your question “how did [I] receive the Spirit, by Water Baptism or the Hearing of Faith?”, I say both, my friend. I noticed you revised Paul’s question a little bit. His question was “by the works of the law [of Moses] or the hearing of faith?” Romans 10:17 says “faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.” So, I heard from the Word that baptism (obedience) saves me, and the Holy Spirit is given to me after baptism. Acts 2:38, 5:32. To me, Romans 6, first few verses, clearly describes baptism as the new birth. |
