Subject: Titus 3:5 and washing of regeneration |
Bible Note: 1 Peter 3:21 says that baptism doesn't save us by 'the removal of dirt from the flesh' but only with 'an appeal to God'. Baptism and belief save, not baptism. It I baptise a unwilling unbeliever in some water the only effect will be 'the removal of dirt from the flesh' 'Baptismal regeneration' tends to be used as a perjorative as it doesn't emphasis that faith is needed too. Come on, I don't accept Luke 18:13, is the born-again sinner's prayer. Do you? Best Regards |
