Bible Question:
God's eternal Salvation to you all I think that the baptism in water in Jesus' name or in the name of the Father,and the Son,and of the Holy Ghost consists the blood of Jesus.Martin Luther taught that the water of the baptism is from the Golgotha,where Jesus gave His blood and water from His side.The connection of salvation is for all who turn to God in repentance and will believe in Jesus' blood.The baptism in water means that you are asking for a good conscience from God by His Son Jesus.The blood of the Lamb will save all believers through baptism in Jesus. Am I right? |
Bible Answer: Greetings resurrectioner! I realize that you are a new member here, and welcome! However, there have been several prior discussions on Baptism. I would suggest using the 'Search function' on the right and looking up the threads "method of baptism" and "significance of baptism" to help you find your answers. I believe that water baptism is the outward and public affirmation of the transformation that has happened within a person during salvation- baptism by the Holy Spirit. We are saved by grace alone, and that through faith (Eph. 2:8,9), not by water baptism. I hope this helps, my friend! Blessings to you, Nolan |
