Subject: Rom 7:9 What's it mean? |
Bible Note: Let It Rain: Oh, I don't think you are among a miniscule minority of folks on this forum who alone see any significance in baptism! On the contrary! Virtually all Christians attach a great deal of importance to it. The crucial issue is not whether baptism is important, or whether it is a biblical command, or whether to be or not to be baptized. The issue of debate is whether faith alone in Christ is all-sufficient, or whether saving faith can become a reality in our lives only when it is supplemented by other things, such as baptism and, possibly, good works too. Of course, as you know, many of us hold that we are saved by grace only through faith only in Jesus Christ only, and that baptism is an act of obedience by the regenerate believer -- of obedience but not of salvation. --Hank |
