Does baptism by a calvary chapel minister entail that I have to believe all of Chuck Smith's extrabiblical teachings, such as Moses authoritarianism and Christ's second coming in 1981?
Baptism is the symbolic expression of the spiritual reality of our re-birth.
Furthermore, we have been baptized into His death and have become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus !!
In no way is our righteousness based on human effort, or the continuation of ANY human effort ( ie - sarx )
Rather, we are to live in the power of the Holy Spirit and continue living our lives by faith in what God has accomplished on our behalf - and indeed has brought us into - true life eternal.
Die Taufe war mir wie das JA vorm Traualtar.
ja gesagt, ja gemeint.
Bin so froh, das war die beste Entscheidung meines Lebens!
My YES to Jesus was the best decision of my life!
