Subject: Isn't this verse saying that we rise to |
Bible Note: "So, Rom. 6:4 is not saying that baptism produces new life. It is saying that we were buried with Him so that we could live a different kind of life - one in which we are no longer slaves to sin." Your above statement happen's at conversion, and that's what I'm saying, when we come up out of the water, we are no longer a slave to sin. Our sins have been washed away. Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. This verse verified what Paul says in Rom 6:4, let the bible give the answer. "The bible is right". This is very certain, someone who has not been baptized can do nothing with this text, for sure! And I have heard of people waiting days, weeks, and months to be baptized. And that for sure is wrong according to the bible! Some people would say that a person is saved without being baptized. But from the day of Pentecost until now the bible would not agree with them. |
