Bible Question: may iask why you disagree i stated many verses explaining the plan of salvation i am not a cambelite im a christian |
Bible Answer: Hello Warren, There is an undercurrent in your posts- from the verses you quoted- that would seems to indicate you believe salvation to be more than simply "by grace through faith" (Eph. 2:8). Most who use Acts to support the plan of (criteria for) salvation typically emphasize water baptism as a requisite. Yet, Paul clearly outlines the Gospel in 1 Cor. 15:1-4 1 Cor 15:1 Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, 1 Cor 15:2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. 1 Cor 15:3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 1 Cor 15:4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, (NASB) My question is this: If baptism is a requirement for our salvation (the "Acts" formula), then why does Paul neglect to include it? Did he forget to mention it? How do we reconcile this? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
