Subject: Is baptism a work? |
Bible Note: Dear Tim, Greetings in the name of Jesus! Thanks for a (as usual) good post. However, I must comment on one thing you said: "No one on this forum has argued that Christians should not be baptized." It's too late, and I'm too tired to look for them, but I recall a few posts that claimed that we are now baptized in the Spirit, and water baptism is no longer necessary or valid. Also, when you factor in those that practice infant baptism, I think there is a rather large portion of Christianity that does not believe personal faith is necessary for valid water baptism. Their stance is that baptism is not a personal spiritual work, but a proclamation or church ritual. Blessings to you and yours. In Christ Jesus, charis |
