Subject: what is baptism |
Bible Note: Greetings Kin! What "magical element" is in the water that makes it so powerful as to be the Agent of our salvation? Why is it that we can pick the time, place, and method of being baptized by water? Can we also be so lackadaisical about choosing whether or not to be saved by Jesus Christ? Salvation is by grace alone through faith- and we are not saved through water baptism. If you do a "Search" on baptism or look through many of my recent posts (November) on baptism, you will find how, where, what and why I believe in Salvation by grace alone. However, we must be "born again", that is, we must be baptised by the Holy Spirit! And this comes at the moment of salvation which occurs when the Holy Spirit chooses, not when we choose. I have never met anyone who "chose" the time when they were apprehended by Jesus Christ! - Nolan |
