Subject: To be saved must we be baptised? |
Bible Note: Tim, I got baptized because I wanted to declare openly my decision to be belong to Jesus. I felt it as a first act of obedience to Him. I could have died before baptism, could have died before my wedding, in either case I was already married in my heart. It seems evident from scripture that all acts of faith are like that. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Rom 10:10) You apparently feel the same. Colin. |
