Subject: Saved by belief or belief and baptism? |
Bible Note: Hi Coty, I'm not quite following your scenario? A few questions rise: How does Heb. 9:15-17 teach the necessity of baptism? Further, if the thief died under the OT, then how do the scriptures from the Gospels you cite ( Matt. 28:19, Mark 16:16)apply? Isn't it a bit of a contradiction to say that the thief "would not have to(be baptized) seeing Jesus was right there beside him" and then claim passages from the same period as commanding baptism for us today as a requisite for salvation? Are you advocating baptismal regeneration? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
