Subject: Just what is the purpose of baptism? |
Bible Note: "Please believe me, and this is meant for everyone's reading. I'm NOT trying to say that baptism is a work or part of a system of earning something, least of all our Salvation." Hi, Rowdy! I understood you clearly... this is why I took the liberty in expanding on your thoughts... many times Christians end up on different sides of the table because of simple misunderstandings... We know that Christ alone is Salvation, but baptism does not take away from this; rather, baptism is commanded by Him as a public demonstration of our acceptance of God's Authority as we humbly submit to His Command to become one of His people... It is simple to say: "I believe in my heart!" But words can be as empty as a vacuum when not translated into live practice! In baptism we submit to the Father as Christ, through example, taught us to do! God Bless! Angel |
