Subject: Do we get saved by Baptism? |
Bible Note: Let's go back to your original statement. You said "Now the question is and I will say this off the get go that if we take any one of these things do you still have salvation?" You were speaking of these three things, baptism, faith and repentance. It appears you are saying that if we take any of the three away we no longer have salvation. Is that what you were saying? To me it appeared that is what you were insinuating. Then you pointed out that the church had not yet been established and since then that salvation comes by a different method then it did before the church. At least that's what I'm getting out of your post. If in fact this is what you are saying, please explain. If not, then forgive me for misrepresenting your comments. Steve |
