Bible Question:
wormwood, I can appreciate what you are saying here,the question arises here, then what was Jesus teaching in Mark 16:15,16 Matthew 28:18-20? What was Peter teaching in Acts 2:38? What was Paul spending so much time and detail on in the first part of Romans chapter 6 and his other epistles? Faith, confession, and repentance are all part of the salvation experience,why is it we want to throw out baptism,something clearly taught by our Lord and the Apostles? If we take any of these things out of the picture do you still have salvation? God gave us the whole pakage,can we afford to not heed any part of it? Forgive me if this a bit long winded. In Christ, lionheart |
Bible Answer: Allow me to paint a senario A man repents and exercises faith in Christ Jesus, and immediately phones the local church, and informs the minister, that he desires to become baptized. The minister says: We are having a baptismal service this evening at 6:30 PM. If you come over this evening, we will baptize you. So this man gets dressed, and heads over to the church to be on time for the service. On his way, he gets in an automobile accident and is killed. You say, oh oh, he left out part of the salvation equation. The question is: Since he never got baptized, will he be sent off to eternal condemnation? NC |
