Subject: when a I saved and when baptised |
Bible Note: Brad, The important point of 1 Peter 3:20-21 is not who was “wet”, but that God’s people where brought safely through the water. Those indeed who “got wet” and were disobedient to God were not saved. Also, as a point of clarification, water baptism does not by itself save anyone, but it is the only means by which the saving blood of Christ may be contacted. To obey everything else of God’s commands yet neglect water baptism is like building a bridge half-way across a river. It might look great as you are driving across, but it’s end will bring an unpleasant (and wet) surprise. Best regards, AO |
