Bible Note: Hi, Nevvvvine :: You ask why a Christian should "bother getting baptized today." Well, I really didn't know it was a bother at all! ..... Reason aplenty is that the Lord Jesus Christ commanded it (Matthew 28:19). Baptism of the believer in Christ by immersion in water is therefore an essential of obedience, whereas only faith is essential for salvation (John 3:36). Baptism neither saves nor contributes to salvation in any way. Salvation is wholly of God. Man is not saved by works. Man is not saved by faith plus works. Man is saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8,9). ......
