Subject: Saved by belief or belief and baptism? |
Bible Note: Hi Coty, Thanks for your reply. I understand Matt. 28:19. A couple additional questions arise: 1. It is one verse, so can you build the doctrine of the need to be baptised in order to be saved from just this one verse? Is that what the verse is teaching? 2. Do you have some other scriptural support? For what it's worth, I think we all have the intention to look at the scriptures with complete objectivity- i.e. unprejudiced. In reality, we all have influences that color our views such as our upbringing and church affiliation. So, I don't know that were I to pick up the Bible for the first time I would reach the same conlusion as you about baptism! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
