So I’ve got this backend manager that makes links to the ESV
Bible to make references easier to look up for folk. The script was made
available by one of the professional mambrothers and it is based on
Scripturizer from Scott Yang. Now, my dark admission…
A bunch of links on baptism. Come on in and enjoy.
Last time we discussed baptism we offered up brother Rory’s
contention that salvation is impossible without the rite of baptism. One of the
texts he used in support of this baptism being salvific was {{Ephesians 4:4-5}}
illustrating this point of One baptism being for the forgiveness of sins. My
first post started to question the usage {{Ephesians 4[NASB]}} as this defense and in
this post I will explore the different baptisms mentioned in Scripture.
The movie was amazing. You should probably read no further
if you don’t want to be ruined by my outright plot spoilers, repeated bursts
of praise, my adulations of worthiness and some Scriptural illumination so I’ll
contain my glee and let all three of you readers decide to either click on the
Happy Husband or come in. Honestly there will be spoilers so don’t click if you
haven’t seen the movie.
Recently a person commented on one of my posts which was a
general call to salvation. I distinctly remember not intending to write the post and in fact, had another article planned. I was doing my own personal study and was moved to really post the gospel. By the grace of God several people responded to it and wondered about salvation, praise God. The commentator summed up the article as being fatally deficient…the fact that baptism wasn’t mentioned.
