AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life]. |
Subject: why is baptism important |
Bible Note: Another point: Romans 6:1 following shows that it is only by sharing in the death of Christ that we can share in His resurrection. And we die with Christ when we are baptized. Why are there so many "Christians" who cannot accept that they must be baptized to be saved? Satan has done a wonderful job of confusing us when we read the word of our God. |
