AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Peter 3:21 Corresponding to that [rescue through the flood], baptism [which is an expression of a believer's new life in Christ] now saves you, not by removing dirt from the body, but by an appeal to God for a good (clear) conscience, [demonstrating what you believe to be yours] through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, |
Subject: Do you have to be baptized to be saved? |
Bible Note: You are bound by your tradition Bro. I see that the Baptist standard is your guide, not the Word of God, RIGHTLY DIVIDED! We are under Paul's gospel today, and, unlike the commission given to the Twelve, Paul's commission did NOT include water baptism. COMPARE Matthew 28:19 with 1 Cor 1:17. Also see Gal 2:7-9. Take care, and enjoy the ONE BAPTISM for this dispensation of grace. |
