Subject: does one need to be baptised to be saved |
Bible Note: Hi, Tim... Thank you for the encouragement! I agree with you... this verse is not talking about baptism any more than Luke 17 is talking about the rapture. Sometimes people don't deliberate over a passage, but too quickly take someone else's interpretation. I know because I've done it! :-) I rather suspect the "born again" translation might have had some sort of outside influence. I wonder how the Geneva Bible translated this verse? |
