Subject: Isn't Baptism neccessary for salvation?? |
Bible Note: Thanks One. Right, John 3:36 shows that "faith alone" is not the intent of John 3:16, "He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not OBEY the Son wil not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." And if you follow the chapter three text, you see that baptism is under discussion. "John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people were coming and were being baptized." When you understand John 3:3,5 in the context of baptism, it is not surprising to read the words, "there arose a discusion on the part of John's disciples with a jew about purification." The two water baptisms that are spoken of the in the New Testament were FOR the forgiveness of sins. Baptism is not a meritorious work, it is a work of faith. God's grace saved me when I got baptized in faith. Good day. |
