Re: Why Baptism Doesn't Wash Away Sins, Acts 10:43
There is ever only one 'way' of salvation - that is faith. And faith always equates to obedience to God, not a mere outward going through the motions, but obedience that springs from the heart.
John's baptism - was it of men, or God?
If it was of God, could any Jew be right with God who rejected it?
What about christian baptism - is it of men, or God?
If it is of God, can anyone be right with God who rejects it?
Therefore, preach Jesus, and baptism in his name as the method by which a person publicly affirms they are on the Lord's side, and any one who wishes to argue 'well, can't I be saved WITHOUT baptism?' reveals themselves to be at odds not with baptism, but the Lord.
