It works for faith healing, why not water baptism? The Apostles did it.


Welcome to the Catholic Church.

They actually are more correct than many folks here that think you can be saved prior to water baptism. You realize that the Catholics changed the method of baptism, but some folks here have completed the job by saying baptism is not necessary to remit sins. They say that you only need the Spirit....shame, shame!
