Subject: Do you have to be baptized to be saved? |
Bible Note: Greetings Tim, Again, about Romans 6:1-11, "Baptism with the Holy Spirit joins the believer to Christ, separating him from the old life and associating him with the new. He is no longer "in Adam" but is "in Christ." Water baptism portrays this truth." [The Ryrie Expanded Edition Study Bible] Water baptism only PORTRAYS this truth, it does not fulfill it. Water baptism is a public declaration of our allegiance with God. Water baptism alone cannot save us. Water baptism in no way "puts" us into Christ. Your Brother in Christ, Nolan |
