Subject: What does baptism consist? |
Bible Note: Shalom - God's peace Is baptism necessary in Salvation?Is it important and necessary to partake of the Communion?Is it necessary to listen the Gospel?Is it necessary to be in God's grace for eternal Salvation?Is it necessary to be in faith,which consists the reality of God's good work in crusifixion of His Son?I agree,that faith is necessary to a man to get God's justification because of His Son's blood.Without faith it is impossible to please the Holy God.But faith is by grace,too.It comes from listening and listening comes from Christ's Word."He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;but he that believeth not shall be damned."I believe,that I'll save by Jesus' blood,when I believe His crusifixion for me.I am connected to His Salvation by faith,which comes from Word.The Word became flesh.The Holy flesh is given to us in the cross of Jesus,and God is dealing the cleansing blood through the knowledge of the Word.I believe,that baptism -as the Holy Communion,too-is for those,who will get the Salvation by faith.AND the baptism truly consists the Holy blood of Jesus.The baptism in christianity is not the law.It is connected with eternal grace,because of the Holy blood.The whole knowledge of the Gospel benefits only those,who will receive Him by faith."He came unto his own,and his own received him not.But as many as received him,to them gave he power to become the sons of God,even to them that believe on his name:Which were born,not of blood,nor of the will of the flesh,nor of the will of man,but of God." |
