Bible Question:
Rowqdy, Can you please quote the scripture that says that I can not be saved and have eternal life if I have not been baptized. In my years in bible college I must of missed that one.... prayon |
Bible Answer: Greetings prayon, I have spent about 30 minutes reading all the replies and debates.Salvation is by Grace, Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;.Baptism is a outward sign of a inward change. Mark 1:4 John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. The first century Christians where basically signing their own death warrents by public Baptisms as a way to profess their Faith in our Lord.I was baptisted 12 years after i accepted the Lord and i know that during that time the Lord was with me,guiding,loving,and instructing me.please do not let those who are set on the letter of the law keep you from seeing or experincing the spirit of the Gospel and Our Lords Deep love for you. In Him who is always Faithful |
