Bible Question:
King623, Greetings and welcome to the forum. You are correct in saying that salvation is free,it cost us nothing and cost God his dearest blood. Eph 2:8 -10 Our salvation has nothing to do with what we did,but everything to do with what God did. Peter made some very clear statements regarding Baptism, Acts 2:38,1 Peter 3:21. Paul covers the subject of Baptism quite clearly in Romans chapter 6. My question to you is this,If we take baptism out of the equation what do you have? Refer to Mk 16:16. Your brother in Christ, lionheart |
Bible Answer: baptism was at first, an outward showing of faith and was symbolic of being made clean through faith. but after the resurrection jesus said in acts 1:5 that we would be baptized by the spirit. to me baptism is a ritual, and some who partake in ritual, think the ritual itself gives them more virtue than another. same as the jews thinking the law gave them more virtue than the gentiles. |
