Subject: Is baptism required for salvation? |
Bible Note: Ok, keep in mind that because he is talking to a man who had not New Testament in his hands it is logical that he referred to a concept that was known to him, because he said: "You are a doctor of the law and you don't know that? So, it is to be clear that the new birth was prophecied, but in other terms that was supposed to be understood to a man like Nicodemus. This is for this reason that not only he said born again, but he (Jesus) added born of water and spirit. These last two terms were those known by the Old Testament teacher as him. You must grasp the context and the connection to understand the passage, otherwise the criminal on the cross would not have any chance to be saved, because not baptism for him. Ponder on it my friend. |
