Subject: does one need to be baptised to be saved |
Bible Note: "Perhaps we could include "Feet Washing, John 13" along with water baptism as a mandate? Why one and not the other? Thank you!" Hi, ROGER! Perhaps I misread your post... but did you not mean to be condescending with your statement? You reference to having a ""Discussion as an Adult?" ...yet I do not read that tone in your post (specially with the ending remark--isn't it kind of 1970's high school "In your face?" You broungt into the thread a value that has nothing to do with baptism, you presented it as a matter-of-factly: "you are speaking junk so contend with this!" because I quoted what Jesus and the Apostles held to be a clear Command! I do apologize for not being more patient... I restructured my reply several times (from your reception I can see that even my final draft was too strong)... I promise you that in the future I will download your posts onto my computer to offer you a greater amount of Scripture and less of my zeal for Scripture! God Bless! Angel |
