The Cross of Christ Alone Can Save

and still... no answer. What also is amazing is the scripture clearly teaches when the blood is applied as blood and death are synonymous. Romans 6 says when we are united with him in his death.

Rom 6:3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

How plainer could I have been?

"As Christian believers, we are only "saved" from one thing: The wrath of God; that is, the rightful punishment for our sinful rebellion. Given the fact that we are only saved from a single amercement, it is cumbersome to think that we need different "acts" (or "works" or whatever) to clear the debt. A single act suffices and that act is the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ."

You sound like "Baghdad Bob," TheLegalist. Denial, self deception... the works.

Was the blood of Jesus Christ shed in the tomb or at the cross? See also Galatians 2:20-21.

T.L. - How do you feel about Mike's hypothetical "Guy Who Dies in the Car on the Way to be Baptized?" Mike asserts that such a man is saved inspite of the fact that he was never water baptized. Would you agree?
