“Christ believed in baptism. I know many evangelicals that think as long as you profess youre born again water baptism is not necessary. “
Christ commanded that every believer who has entrusted herself or himself to Christ to follow Him by proclaiming publicly via baptism that decision. It is commanded as something to instruct all who come to Him. It does not lead to salvation. It follows salvation.
You do realize that this thread isn’t about baptism...?
“Anyone with an elementary understanding of Christianity knows that baptism is necessary for salvation. “
The problem isn’t what they know. It is that what they know is false.
“Or was Jesus lying?”
I always laugh when someone posts something like that!
Blessing to you NKP
Such idiots are denying their own doctrine every time they insist the Holy Spirit can't protect the Truth and their proof is that someone who likewise claims to be led by the Holy Spirit doesn't agree with them.
Oh I now, first John the Baptist was a liar, then Jesus.
Baptism is not necessary, only that you say you are born again! Don’t have to get anywhere near water. Well I know it’s true, since Pentacostal Jimmy Swaggart said so this morning.
