If his faith was ultimately in something other than Christ, then he was not.
My question deals with those who truly do have a genuine faith in Christ and who are baptized. I would consider ALL these as being saved. In fact, I consider ALL who truly believe as saved in the eyes of God even before they are baptized - How this does not contradict what I've said earlier I will explain after a while.
Again, for those who believe 'baptism saves'.... will you agree that ALL who truly believe and are baptized ARE SAVED whether or not they have spoken in tongues?
