Subject: Isn't Baptism neccessary for salvation?? |
Bible Note: If you will allow me to add a few cents worth to this argument – I’ll basically use the gist of Scripture, so if you disagree, take it up with the author, and I don’t mean Paul. 1st Corinthians 1:10-17 might be all it takes to settle this discussion. “But I urge you all, brothers, for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree in what you say, and not to allow factions among you, but to be perfectly united in mind and judgment. For I have been informed, my brothers (Paul named names)that quarrels are going on among you. What I mean is this, that one of you says, “I’m a follower of Paul’s teaching,” another, “And I am of Apollis,” another, “Well, I am of Peter,” and so on. “Christ has been divided. Was it Paul who was crucified for you? Or were you baptized in Paul’s name? I am thankful that I never baptized any of you except (Paul named names) so that no one could say that you were baptized in my name. I did baptize a very few, otherwise I do not know if I baptized anyone else. “For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the good news – but not with fine language, or the cross of Christ might seem an empty thing.” What else needs to be said?
