Subject: How Does Baptism Save? |
Bible Note: Greetings, Only one problem I see with your post. You insist that salvation came before the waters of baptism. However, there is a type/antitype statment being made here. Flood is the type/Baptism is the Antitype Noah saved through water/Baptism saves you Noah wasn't saved before he went through the water, he was brought safely through the water. AND CORRESPONDING TO THAT [AND THE ANTITYPE OF THAT WATER] IS BAPTISM WHICH NOW SAVES YOU...THROUGH THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST. We are not saved before baptism. We are saved by God's grace at baptism. Good day. |
