Subject: Saved by belief or belief and baptism? |
Bible Note: Dear Richard, The post you're responding to is over 7 years old, so I doubt the original poster will reply! I'm not certain of the conclusion you're making? I would suggest- based on a bit of my own study- that those verses of Paul (Gal. 3:27, Col. 2:12, Rom. 6:3, etc) are dealing with spiritual baptism consistent with 1 Cor. 12:13! My own experience tells me most people shrug off spiritual baptism and place more emphasis on the symbolic! The Holy Spirit is the the One Who unites us with Christ! This is the reality. Without it, symbolism is meaningless. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
