Baptism is a sign of covenant. It is a testimony of who and whose you are. It is a sign of what has already happened, and what you believe to be your's through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ. |
Price,
I guess you guys know better than the Word of God. The Word says that baptism saves you and you are now saying that it is a sign of what has already happened. You guys a very brave to add to the word like that.
There is more to living for God than obeying
Acts 2:38 but that is still the ONLY way to get saved. Once you are saved there are "works of righteousness" that you will automatically become part of your life as you mature, but that is not what saves you. You are saved because you repented of your sin, was baptized in Jesus name and filled with the Holy Ghost. That is what the Bible says. The Word also said, "Let God be true and EVERY MAN a....." You know what it is. If you are not preaching full obedience to
Acts 2:38 then guess what the Word of God has a word to describe you.
I may upset some admin with my post but I have had enough of this junk that has been let slip into AFF. Is this an apostolic forum or not? I love truth and will stand for it until the day I die. I don't care what it cost me.
