    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    Ok? Well so is baptism then. And? Belief isn’t mentioned, or faith, or loving God, or preaching the word or repenting, or confessing. All these are also needed for salvation. You keep putting this vs in. It is not telling us that the only thing we have to do to be saved is love...

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    Avoiding the question. You have just stated that you have to act on belief to have faith. And the act is to be baptised and follow the other commandments of the bible. Faith alone does not save. James 2:24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faithalone. Plain...

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    No. You see, when you are baptised you put on Christ. (Galatians 3 27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.) When you put on Christ his blood covers your sins whenever you ask for it, or when you repent. So if you sin after baptism all you have to do...

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    So all I have to do is love my neighbour and I’m saved? Ok I see what ya mean. If you look at Romans 6:16 it says that obedience leads to righteousness. This means that to be saved we need to be obedient and then we become righteous. If we neglect the command to be baptised and to...

    Have the gifts of the Holy Spirit ceased?

    It can’t be our resurected bodies because vs 13 says that there is faith and hope remaining. Faith and Hope will not remain when we are resurrected in glorified bodies Where in that vs does it say that we will have perfect knowledge. From what I can see it doesn’t say that. It says...

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    So according to you, the law of Christ is to just love one another. And being that we must only follow the law of Christ this means that we are not to love God because we have to only love one another. It also means that we are not to partake in the Lord’s supper because we are to only follow...

    Have the gifts of the Holy Spirit ceased?

    Just a side not. Prophecy is a direct revelation from God. Not necessarily foretelling the future. This means that the entire bible is prophecy.

    Have the gifts of the Holy Spirit ceased?

    That is a very good interpretation if you are saying that this knowledge will come before the second coming of Christ. However I am assuming that you mean that this perfect Knowledge will come when Christ comes. (let me know if I have misunderstood what you meant) Lets have a look at the vs...

    Thanx Oblivious. [/size] You think that was the only command that we have to follow? Did they have to do it? Yes they were commanded to do it, and therefore if they didn’t they where breaking Gods law. Yes but it was still a literal baptism that the...

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    What have unbelievers got to do with baptism? Na. What I am saying is that we cannot get ourselves to heaven no matter what we do. Even believing in God does not actually get us to heaven. God makes the active choice of getting us there. But for him to make that choice he has told us...
