Subject: Water baptism unnecessary for conversion |
Bible Note: You cannot say Saul was saved back on the road to Damascus during his encounter with Jesus, you said back on post 78221 that he was, even if we assume calling on the name is when he was saved, he was told to arise and have his sins washed away when he met Ananias, this happened much later. He was fasting and praying for 3 days, then he met Ananias, then he regained his sight, then he had the sins washed. If he was saved back in the encounter with Jesus, why was he later told to wash his sins away. Also, his baptism obviously took place within an hour of his arising and calling on the name of the Lord, so you are incorrect in the challenge you were offered. |
