Bible Question:
Makarios, importance of baptism? Last thing you said was baptism summed up in Romans 6:4. Well that verse clearly says we are buried with Him in baptism,(placed into Christ, clothed with Christ in baptism). It cleary does not say baptism is a symbol. Romans 6:3-7 says in baptism we are actually participating in his death, burial, and resurrection. MY point exactly. We are saved by Grace through Faith at Baptism.............. |
Bible Answer: Greetings Arrow1, Sorry, but Ephesians 2:8-9 says: "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not YOUR OWN DOING; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." In no way does Romans 6:4 or Ephesians 2:8-9 say that "We are saved by Grace through Faith at Baptism".. Such a statement cannot be found in Scripture, and is, in fact, unscriptural. Makarios |
