Baptism is NOT necessary for Salvation

Baptismal regerationsim debunked.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Jesus payed it all. We aren't left with an incomplete act of salvation, which we must complete through baptism or good works. He said on the cross "it is finished". The question is - do you believe Him?

hear the word, believe the word, repent of your sins, confess your sins, be BAPTIZED in the name of the lord, and live faithfully all the days of your life. It's really not that hard.

@wahcoleANDemery

What about the hidden sins, those you did not confess?

What if someone believed, but died before he got baptized? Is he going to hell?

Have you lived faithfully all the days of your life? If you can in fact live righteously, then why there's a need for Jesus?

See where I'm going with this? You're putting the burden on man instead of letting Christ doing the saving and THEN try to be obedient out of nothing by thankfulness, not in order to be saved, but because you ARE saved.

@MichaelGabrielR 1) if they didnt confess...then they were baptized for the wrong reasons.. 2) Thats not up to me idiot. It's up to God. 3) Ive tried my hardest. Ive never smoked, drank, done drugs, watched porn, cussed, etc...,and ive never missed church unless i was sick. 4) FAITH is NOTHING without WORKS. Do you have ANY idea what that means? It means you have to DO something. Baptizm is the ONLY way to become a christian. I'm sorry if you don't think so. God Bless You :)

Rather than Christ, proclaiming freedom from condemnation, I see a Pharisee that boasts of his righteousness, having nothing of worth before God, no matter how hard he tried.

Paul speaks of saving faith from God's perspective, while James speaks of a professionalism of a belief in Christ and how a man is justified/can prove his faith is real to men.

His yoke is easy and his burden is light. Do good, but let not your works stand between you and the Savior on judgment day.

That made NO sence whatsoever.....holy cow dude. Go to freakin SCHOOL.

FYI, the school taught me Roman Catholicism. It's remarkably similar to your view - man must preform good works, pass certain rituals and keep a certain system of laws in order to get into heaven. In fact, that is true for all religion, except Christianity, where the only requirement is to have a living faith in Jesus - you know, not that he just existed, but that you actually need him, because you're a sinner in need of forgiveness and that he died in your place for your sins?

The bible teaches that faith saves, following Jesus' teachings saves, following Jesus until the end saves, baptism saves, as well as many other things that save you. Do all of them. If the Bible told me to jump 100 times on one leg while reciting the gettysberb address backwards in order to be saved I'd do it, even though it would make no sense to me. Btw, I think its important to actively die and be raised with Jesus. Read Romans 6.

Another blind thing, Paul was talking to the church in Corinthians. They were already saved. These letters were written to People who were already saved according to Acts 2;38.

[rossdaboss1959]

Why are people so blind. Jesus and the man on the cross lived under the age of law. We are under the church or age of grace. Study the 7 dispensations. This a waste of a video. U have to get saved according to the age u live in. There was no church at that time. If u feel that it's not necessary, then don't do it. U have free will. The bride of Christ will all have his name. People calm they love the Lord, but always fight the name Jesus. Acts 2:38 God's plan. Period.
