AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 6:3 Or are you ignorant of the fact that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? |
Subject: Do you have to be baptized to be saved? |
Bible Note: Yes,we are saved by His grace and nothing else. Ephesians 2:4 But becasue of his great love for us, "God, who is rich in mercy, 5made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions it is by grace you have been saved. 4And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God 9not by works, so that no one can boast. 10For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. So, you see it is only the grace of God that saves not the works of some man dipping us in H2o. Remember if H2o could save then Jesus Christ going to the cross would all be in vain. I know some churches do teach that you are only saved when baptised and speaking in tounges. It is unfortunate that a lot of followers are not searching the scriptures like Jesus told us to, to see if such things are so. Now they are not even sure of their own salvation if believing only saved if you speak in tounges and a water baptism. Both speaking in tounges and salvation are a gift. I have a problem with people (I am not referring to you)who go to church and allow a preacher or bishop do all the studying and have a total reliance on what they teach and never search or study for themselves. The bible clearly states there WILL BE many false prophets. I had a bad experience with a false apostle and thank God for everything I went through because it caused me to study His word and search the scriptures to see if such things are so. People YOU must search things out and study, study, study. Remember we honor our Father in heaven when we study His word. NEVER rely on what some man behind the pulpit is saying, we must trust in Christ Jesus ONLY and never put ALL our faith in what some man is saying. |
