Bible Note: Greetings the Bible is Right! 1) Does Acts 16 mention baptism? Yes, of course is does. The normal routine was for someone who had been saved to obey the command of Christ and be baptized. However, in Paul's response about what one must DO to be saved, baptism is noticebly absent! So, am I hiding something? No! :-) But, Paul never said that the jailer must be baptized to be saved did he! 2) What about John 3:5? This has been dealt with many times, but John 3:5 never mentions baptism. It does mention being born of water, but this is explained in the very next birth as being physical or natural birth. 3) You say that baptism alone does not save, but Scripture does say that faith alone saves (Eph. 2:8-9) and Scripture explictly rules out any role of works in salvation. The good news my friend is that we can't nor need to do anything to be saved. I don't know why so many keep trying to add something to free grace! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
