Bible Question: Does the bible teach baptism for remission of sins, or the Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven? |
Bible Answer: Are these two concept mutually exclusive? Those who believe in baptism for the remission of sins as Peter directed in Acts 2 and baptismal regeneration believe that it it is Jesus who baptized through his mystical body, the Church and that is the reason baptism is efficaious. They believe that they are baptised as Paul says in Romans 6 in the death and resuurection of Christ. water is merely the instrumental cause, Jesus, working in and through the sign, is the formal cause of the grace of salvation that is tranmitted, just as his body was the instrumental cause in his death and resurrection.
