Bible Question: Does the bible teach baptism for remission of sins, or the Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven? |
Bible Answer: Slay- First of all, you have a very interesting screen name. Secondly, the dichotomy you present between Jesus and Baptism is both unbiblical and illogical. If you read through different threads on this topic you will get the point. Thirdly, God has always operated under one method of salvation: His Grace. Baptism is not a work to aquire righteousness and salvation... it is a passive event where one dies with Christ and commits himself to a covenant relationship with Jesus. Jesus clearly states that he is the way, truth, and life, and that he is the only way to the Father. This may have been a round-about way to make my point, but what I am saying is that sins are forgiven by God, not water. On the other hand, baptism is essential to accepting God's grace. It is the way we come into complete realtionship with him; it is the way we aquire the gift of the Holy Spirit. ischus |
