Bible Question: If you are bapized by an individual who does not believe in baptismal regeneration, but simply confessing "whith your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believing in your heart that God had raised Him from the dead," for salvation, assuming baptismal regeneration is Scriptural, will you be saved? |
Bible Answer: Properly understood, the real question is: "Were you saved before you were baptized?" If the answer is Yes, then you're still saved after your baptism. If the answer is No, then you went down into the baptismal waters a dry sinner, and came up a wet one. |
