Subject: Isn't this verse saying that we rise to |
Bible Note: Baptism is a requirement for entering the kingdom of God John 3:2-7 that's a fact. If you read everything the bible has to say about baptism from the beginning of Matthew the subject will become more clear. For years we have listen to pastors tell us what subjects actually mean by pulling a scripture here and there to prove their point John 3:16 is a perfect example read it from John 3:1 through 3:16 and you will clearly see what the word "believe" means. If you read scripture in full passages the subject will become clear. The word "believe" is an action word. Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as rightousness. Abraham believed God and was willing to sacrifice his only son Isac. He took his family and moved. Noah believed and built an ark. Can you imagine how crazy everyone thought he was? All who heard John the baptist preaching repented and were baptized. They believed the gospel of Christ and that's what saved them and because they believe they proved it by doing something. Read John 14,15 and Number 21:6 explains it. It said If they belived. You used a lot of scripture that says, "if you believe", Mark 16:16 He who had believed and has been baptized shall be saved. I urge you to go back and read Matthew,Mark,Luke and JOhn and Act to see if Romans makes more sence. No where in scriture do I see someone preaching a sermon that doesn't pretain to repenance and then ask if you want to make Jesus you savior, amen and you are saved. |
