Subject: Do you have to be baptised to be saved |
Bible Note: John, The differnce between us is that I believe the grace that saves is transmitted in baptism, although God can also distribute his grace in any other manner He sees fit. If baptism is a work it is God's work not ours. We are not the workers in baptism, though the one that baptises may be God's instrument. That John 3:5 refers to baptism is a defined matter of faith for Catholics. What constitutes exaplaining as opposed to "explaining away" is a subjective judgement. Emmaus |
