It seems that Jesus is indicating that obedience is assumed for the true believer. However, the unbeliever will be lost because of their unbelief. One might want to point out that Jesus makes no point to mention repentance here. Many things are just being assumed in Christ's statement.
There is no question that a believer will obey and be baptized...the question is...does the baptism remit sin when one is dunked or does the Lord remit sin upon repentance prior to baptism?
If sins are only forgiven at the point when one is baptized...how do so many in the Bible and in modern churches receive the Holy Ghost before baptism? That would mean they are receiving the Holy Ghost before their sins are forgiven. |
Aquila, do you not believe in
Acts 2:38 as the Bible way of salvation?
Do you not believe in Baptism in Jesus Name being essential?
