1. Is it a sin to not get Baptized in water after getting saved, and why?
2. Also, when you get baptized, should you have water sprinkled on you or should you be fully immersed in water?
3. If you were baptized in water when you were younger, and you've strayed from your faith and have now rededicated your life to Christ, should you get baptized in water again?

ReplyDeleteI have seen people baptized in the name of the Father-Son-Holy Ghost, and also in the name of Jesus. Is one right and one wrong?

ooooh this is a VERY good question, also if you do a little studying in the new Testament, you will see that people were baptized in the name of Jesus, and in the name of the Father Son and the Holy Ghost, we are certainly going to address this on Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteQuestion #4 IPeter 3:21 says --and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you. Matthew 3:11 John says I baptize you with water unto repentence. Both of these seem to say you must be baptized with water, but on the cross in Luke 23:42 when the thief asked to be saved Christ said he would be with him in Paradise and that would be with no baptism. I have more questions than answers for this question.
ReplyDeletePhyllis ask away. It will give me more questions to answer this Wednesday in our class.
ReplyDeleteQuestion 2: I don't think it really matters which I may be really wrong. I know that it is a symbol of being washed from your sins but isn't that also what we are told the blood of Jesus does it washes us white as snow. If it does matter then does that mean those who follow Catholic by-laws won't go to heaven since they just get sprinkled? -Jessica Killough
ReplyDelete#2. You should fully submerge yourself in water as a symbol of fully submerging yourself with Christ. Chad Killough
ReplyDelete#4. We are saved by the shead blood of Jesus Christ not by water.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone should be baptized but I don't believe it will keep u out of heaven.....
ReplyDelete#4 We were purified (saved) by the blood that was shead on the cross not by water but by that life saving blood that Christ shead for our sins on the cross. 1 John 1:7 JW Wooden
