Bible Note: You do not seem to know quite what to ask yourself, as you rmain very vague. Certainly these verses can "relate" if you choose them to. They both speak of salvation and subsequent obedience to Jesus' commands. He who believes (Mark 16) is one who knows Him(1 John). He who is not baptized (Mark 16) is not keeping His commandments (1 John). (But not all are reborn equally strong. Obedience to Jesus' commands comes as part of spiritual maturing. Certainly the biblical example is for immediate baptism, but their culture was much more religious than ours and the baptism was much better understood.) |
