Bible Question: I was once a member of a fellowship that believe that one isn't born again until they are baptised. They used this verse to support their belief. However, I believe that we are saved by the Grace of God. Paul says it is not of works that we are saved lest we should boast. But I cannot ignore this scripture. Can anyone please explain? |
Bible Answer: Baptism does not save you read titus 3:5.Baptism is the outward show of you being saved. |
