Subject: Isn't Baptism neccessary for salvation?? |
Bible Note: Hi David, I know you asked Hank this, but let me try. Baptism is about faith. The ones you mention from the past do not now need faith, because they now see. If they left this life after living the life of faith, then they go on to their reward. NO baptism is necessary for them. On the other hand, baptism is how we demonstrate our faith in the power of God. See Colossians 2:12; Galatians 3:26,27: both of these passages show the connection between water baptism, our faith, and the power of God. Good day. |
