Re: Is baptism essential unto salvation?

Dordrecht the thief on the cross don't count even though he died after Jesus to some on here just like Elizabeth being filled with the holyghost and not speaking in tongues does not matter but both matter to me and I already posted what tongues were used for in Acts..read below... LOL

Now, the only place I differ with "traditional" Pentecostal understanding is in that I don't believe one must be completely submerged. I believe that pouring is sufficient.

Your kidding right, Baptism and Pouring aren't even comparable, baptism means burial period, the actual Greek word was used to describe a sinking ship, not a ship being deluged by rain or waves, but ship going under the water for good.

Re: Is baptism essential unto salvation?

Since the dawn of the Church age, every believer should be baptized, to avoid or refuse to submit to baptism is to then walk in unbelief and the result will be damnation. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, the emphasis is on saving faith that will result in someone being buried with Christ and having the body of sins destroyed.

Actually, Jesus died before the thief did.

The Greek word bapto (Strongs no. 911) is used in the Greek Old Testament where it says Nebuchadnezzar was "wet" from the dew.

Were the priests immersed/dipped/buried in the laver as part of their daily cleansing?

Re: Is baptism essential unto salvation?

Ok......I repented of my sins, got filled with the Holy Ghost.......

I made an appointment with the pastor to get baptized and on my way to church ran off a cliff with the old klunker and got killed...now I go to hell!

Makes no sense, but according to some of you going to hell makes sense in this case because I was not baptized. Got it!
