Subject: Saved by belief or belief and baptism? |
Bible Note: Thank you Kalos. Surely the truth of the matter has never been put better than by the very word, inspired by God. Though I have been baptized outwardly, as all true believers I am baptized by The Living Water, and I shall never again know that thirst, not because of the symbolic profession I made before man, but because Jesus is the Living Water. I challenge anyone to show where scripture states that baptism is a requirement for salvation. I am not interested in interpretation. I desire scriptural proof, such as that you have so gracefully presented. If we could only let go the myths and traditional interpretations we have so blindly accepted as truth, and open our eyes to His word, which is so readily available, such threads would not be nessisary. Perhaps we could then discuss how to plant, tend and harvest. The 10 pages of this thread to date, have done nothing other that go around and around, proving nothing but the hardheaded determination of the individuals to make their point, over and over again. I pray for such grace in presenting His truth, as that which you display dear brother. |
