Subject: is water-baptism needed for salvation? |
Bible Note: Good day to all, This has been an oft discussed subject here on SBF in the past. Our salvation is the most precious thing we possess, It is Gods greatest and most precious gift to us. If our focus is on God and His Word we will see what saves and what doesn't. God doesn't make it a mystery to those who truly seek him. We can't allow doctrinal bias or preconceived ideas to cloud our vision, instead as 2 Timothy 2:15 states study to show ourself aproved unto God a workman that need not be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth. It's all there for us. Are we willing to allow God and His Word to speak and then do what it says. I can say this, if we do we won't be disappointed. In Him, lionheart |
