Bible Question:
Greetings Looking! First of all, welcome to the forum! Secondly, could you clarify something for me? Are you saying that one must be baptized in water in order to be saved? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
Bible Answer: Hi Tim: Here is the answer for your clarification. (NO) I do not believe we need to be baptized to be saved, my personal belief is, Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; The verse I believe you are referring to is 1 Pet 3:21. I have looked it up in the Amplified Bible. this translation gives a clearer wording of the verse. Hope this will clear things up for you. 21And baptism, which is a figure [of their deliverance], does now also save you [from inward questionings and fears], not by the removing of outward body filth [bathing], but by [providing you with] the answer of a good and clear conscience (inward cleanness and peace) before God [because you are demonstrating what you believe to be yours] through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Have a Happy ! ! |
