Bible Note: "Do you believe baptism for the remission of sins is essential to being saved?" I believe this: "Although it be a great sin to condemn or neglect this ordinance, yet grace and salvation are not so inseparably annexed unto it as that no person can be regenerated or saved without it, or that all that are baptized are undoubtedly regenerated." Just like other commandments, a refusal to be baptised is a pretty good sign of not being regenerate. It is essential for the one in Christ to be baptised, but it is not baptism that makes one a Christian. You wrote: "The bible teaches it. And these are the kinds of works I am refering to." These kinds of works? What kinds? Baptism falls into the same category as what other works. After being baptised, what must I do to be saved? Please post the entire list so that I can know what things to check off. --Joe! |
