Faith in Baptism

[ratchet30]

Would you say that someone who puts their faith in their baptism for salvation is going to hell?

 

[Friedrich Rubinstein]

Do you mean as in "I was baptized, now I can do what I want and not care about God because I got saved"?
Yes, being baptized is not sufficient for salvation. Not faith in baptism is what saves us but faith in Jesus Christ.

Well Eternal Life is only in the Messiah. So no other avenues to receive Eternal Life.

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are the one and only true God.

You must be born again. The Holy Spirit does that for you. Then read 1 John 1:5-10; 1 John 2:3-11; 1 John 3:13-19; to know if you are born again.

Romans 3
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Romans 5
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

Ephesians 1
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

1 John 1
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

God bless you as you read His word.

Only Jesus will make those judgments. Our sin is not visible to other people.

The water doesn't save anyone (the thief on the cross proved this). Faith placed and maintained in Christ and Him Crucified allows you to receive "GRACE" through your Faith, to get saved, and remain saved.

It is a violent process of separating the wheat and the chaff!

“11 I indeed baptize you with water unto Repentance (Water Baptism was an outward act of an inward work already carried out): but He (Christ) Who comes after me is mightier than I, Whose Shoes I am not worthy to bear: He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire (to burn out the sinful dross [Acts 2:2-4]):

12 Whose fan is in His Hand (the ancient method for winnowing grain), and He will thoroughly purge His Floor (“purging it, that it may bring forth more fruit” [Jn. 15:2]), and gather His Wheat into the garner (the end product as developed by the Spirit); but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire (the wheat is symbolic of the Work of the Spirit, while the chaff is symbolic of the work of the flesh).” Matthew 3:11-12
