Bible Question: A PERSON ACCEPTS JESUS AS HIS LORD AND SAVOR AND BAPTIZED AT WHAT POINT IN TIME HE IS SINLESS |
Bible Answer: Hi, FytRobert... Final or ultimate sanctification is the last stage of the overall process of redemption. This occurs for the elect either at the Return of Christ (1 John 3:2; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-15) or upon death (2 Corinthians 2:5-10). For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body. For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? (Romans 8:18-24) Baptism is not a condition of redemption (Ephesians 2:8), rather it is an expression of what God has done in us, before the congregation of saints. In Him, Doc |
