3 Or
don't you know that all of
us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4 We
were therefore buried with
him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was
raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
5 If
we have been united with him
like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his
resurrection.
6
for we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body
of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to
sin--
We are saved when we
obey this Gospel message.
When we BELIEVE that Jesus is the Son of God, are willing to
CONFESS with our mouth that we believe this, REPENT of our sins
and decide to change our lifes and obey God and are BAPTIZED in
the name of Jesus (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) for the forgiveness of
our sins, then we receive the FREE GIFT OF SALVATION
that God has provided thru His Son Jesus Christ. This gift is
available to all who will obey this Gospel message or Good News.
It is not something we have earned for God gives it to those who
believe what He says and obeys. God wants us to obey Him and he
also wants our hearts.
"He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does
not believe will be condemned." Mark 16:16
BELIEVE + BAPTISM = SALVATION
Is this what Mark 16:16 is saying?
Does 2 + 2 = 4 ?????
Does Mark 16:16 say .......
BELIEVE - BAPTISM = SALVATION
?
Does 2 - 2 = 4
?????
THINK ABOUT THIS PASSAGE AND ALL THE OTHER SCRIPTURES IN THE BIBLE
God has a purpose in everything He does and says. His Word is
true. Study the Scriptures.
