Subject: How Does Baptism Save? |
Bible Note: Hi SRP, Do you know that the water Baptism 'that now saves you' is the ANTITYPE of the water that Noah was brought safely through? Noah's salvation is a perfect example of Salvation by Grace THROUGH Faith. God provided the instructions or directions for salvation, but Noah had to build the ark. God's grace saved eight people who had the faith to get in the boat. The ANTITYPE of that is the Baptism Jesus commanded in Matthew 28 and Mark 16, water baptism. Good day. |
