So then I am not saved? My church only does baptisms like once a month.
Well, from the scripture I gave you, I think you know the answer now right?
A church that doesn't teach scripturally is not of Christs church. We can get into a whole other lesson on that. Find a a bible following church, Christs church, without man made doctrines.
I dont have anyone to baptize me except my church. My parents dont think baptism is necessary for salvation and apparently mu church has like a few weeks of preparation. Im just so confused and im scared of going to hell.
Anyone will do so long as you have witnesses and you truly believe like Philip asked the Ethiopian in Acts 8.
You may have read gadar and I's posts, decide for yourself. From the scripture that I see and pulled it doesn't matter WHO baptizes you, but WHAT you are getting baptized for.
You can coach the baptizer on what to do.
They ask you if you believe in Jesus Christ
You say yes
They say I baptize you in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Bam you are in Christ (Galatians 3:27; Romans 6:1-4; Romans 12; 1 Corinthians 12).
You then must remain faithful.
However, being in a denomination will make that difficult since they will teach you false doctrines such as OSAS and Faith Only. Find a scriptural church.
Denomination means "separate and apart from the original".
Ephesians 4:4-6; 1 Corinthians 1:10-13; John 17:21; 1 Corinthians 3:4-5; Romans 12; 1 Corinthians 12 as examples. There is only one.
