Subject: Mark 16:16 what does it say? |
Bible Note: I read your post as you suggested and here is my response: You wrote: "We are justified through FAITH." Faith in the promise fulfilled by Christ. You wrote:"We are sons of God through FAITH in Christ Jesus. " Wouldn't tht require obedience to His word? You wrote: "Where does this say that baptism is a condition of justification or adoption? " Gal 3:26-27 You wrote: "All of those whom Paul is addressing were baptized." Why if it was not essential? You wrote: "The Israelites were declared righteous not by following the Law of Moses,but by believing God." huh? Believing and obeying. You wrote: "It says 3 times in this passage alone that faith is the instrument God uses for our justification and adoption. Where is the word "alone" found? You wrote: "Show me one single passage that uses the word "justification" and "baptism" in the same verse, and I will recant of my "error." " What is justification? Doesn't justification and forgiveness equate? Romans 4:1-8. Baptism is linked with forgiveness. Mouse2 |
