Subject: Meaning "dead faith" doesn't save? |
Bible Note: mitelt, Who works in baptism? God according to Paul in Col 2:12 "having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead." This ties in rather well with Romans 6:3-5. Sacraments are signs and instruments, just as the Incarnation was a sign and instrument of our salvation. Just something upon which to meditate not debate.
