Subject: Isn't Baptism neccessary for salvation?? |
Bible Note: Greetings Search56! Now I can agree with that statement! :-) It is amazing to me that more people don't take the facts you pointed out into consideration when intepreting Acts 2:38. Usually, someone simply says, "Acts 2:38 says we must repent and be baptized to be saved!" However, the grammar is very clear because of person and number that the two commands are seperate and the promise of forgiveness of sins only applies to the command to repent. Keep up the excellent work my friend! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
