Bible Question: Greetings disciplerami, I'm hoping you can help me with an answer to this question. If I read your posts correctly it appears that you believe that salvation occurs at the moment of baptism. I accepted Christ and was not baptised until 3 months later. Immediately upon accepting Christ I received the Holy Spirit. How do I know? I was delivered from the desire to sin among other things:-) I am absolutely convinced that I received the Holy Spirit upon accepting Christ. My question is: If I died in that 3 month period before being baptised, would I have gone to Hell? |
Bible Answer: No, baptism in merely an outward sign of an inward Change. Most people have decided in their heart some time prior to baptism to accept Christ. Even those who have not been baptised and believe will go to be with the Lord. He knows the heart. Amen |
