Subject: In Jesus' name...except baptism? |
Bible Note: Remember, that (water) Baptism is not needed for salvation, (water) Baptism is something we do (most of the time one of the first things we do) in obeying Jesus' command. A truely saved person in Christ will want to obey Jesus' commands, and we get (water) Baptized as one of our first acts of following Him as our Lord. It's symbolism, we get (water) baptized in the name of the Trinity because we are saved by the Trinity. I'm not going to talk about the method of water baptism, but we are salve by God like so - The Father whom gave us His Son and the Holy Spirit which is now in us. See, all three are part of our salvation, when we are baptized in the Trinity, it symbolizes the work of God. |
