Subject: Is baptism needed for salvation? (One.) |
Bible Note: Reply to Hank, How can anyone possibly refer to the thief on the cross as reason baptism in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is not necessary. How can you make that a requirement of the thief when 1st of all Jesus had not yet been resurrected, and 2nd the Great Commission has not yet taken place. The thief was still under the old covenant. If you so easily use this as an argument against the need for baptism in Jesus name(which it clearly has nothing at all to do with it) could it be quite possible you're incorrect about other views on doctrine. |
