Subject: What does it mean? |
Bible Note: Hi Tim, Ephesians 2:9 and John 19:30 are not invalidated by God's requirement that a man get immersed. The only thing that would invalidate the principle of salvation by grace is if the man's--who is being baptized--faith is in the work instead of in the work of Christ. The baptized person, who has been taught right, does not have faith in the water, in the baptizER, nor in himself: he is "raised by faith in the operation of God" at work in baptism (Col.2:12).
