Ahh, I just noticed the "must be baptized in order to be saved" has shown up. I could argue against that one for hours, actually days, and I used to be one of those saying you MUST be baptized to be saved. I won't get into the arguement because I won't change your mind. I'll only say three things about it. #1- Jesus tells us, "my grace is sufficient", #2- there are just as many scriptures that tells how to be saved without mentioning baptism. If baptism was an absolute deal breaker don't you think it would be mentioned EVERY time? By not doing so is like telling someone how to drive a car but leaving out the whole applying the brakes thing, #3- this point was actually already made for me. Every baptism has to be performed by another Christian. An earthly man. By saying a person MUST be baptised you are limiting the power of God and saying that God cannot save without the aid of man. I studied this very subject for the better part of two years with preachers, elders and deacons from both those that believe baptism is a requirement for salvation and those that don't. I could go on and on but I've said enough. Proceed to bash me if you want. I won't respond because a talk forum won't change my mind with the amount of studying I've done and I probably won't change yours. Just know that while we may disagree on some things in doctrine, I'm a firm believer, and follower, in Jesus Christ and want nothing more than for everyone else to do so as we'll.
