Subject: Must we be Baptized to enter Heaven |
Bible Note: Hi Larry, I do not reject water baptism. Like you, I was baptized also by water submersion, to symbolize going to the grave and rising again in Christ. I find nothing wrong with this. Yet I am just acknowledging that this is an act of obedience on "my part". Spiritual Baptisim is an act of the Spirit and can not be given to a person, by the act of another person. John baptized with natural water, but he could not give the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. God's Peace be upon us -khuck |
