why does everyone mentioned being saved don't you have to be baptized for the remission of your sins?

Question

How can many people forget about being bapitized. Everyone has to be baptized to wash away their sins. How hard is that?

Jesus said be baptized it says that in the Bible. how can you ignore what Jesus says?

that was Jesus who forgave the thief not one of us. We don't have Jesus's power to do that. Were not Jesus.

I have no religion. Religion is a human made. I'm a christian.

Answer 1

FIrst of all, do you believe in what the Bible says to be true? You either have to take it entirely, or not at all. We can't pick and choose what we want from it. Now...read the following verses in the Bible: Acts 2:38, Mark 1:4, Mark 10:38, Luke 7:29, Luke 12:50, Romans 6:4, Eph 4:5, Col 2:12, Matt 3:11, Luke 3:21John 1:33, Acts 9:18, Romans 6:3-6. What do you find in common with all these verses? Baptism by water. I think that too many people rely on their "feelings". Someone gets a good feeling and says they have been saved. Don't you think that feelings can be deceiving? I know mine can. Although it is important to have feelings for God, we must do what the Bible teaches and that is that baptism is necessary for salvation. I hope this helps you or anyone else reading my comments. God Bless!!!!

By the way onlychrist.net...are you a member of the church of christ by any chance?

Answer 2

man you got it all wrong, AS SOON as we accept jesus into our lives we are cleansed, baptism is just like a public announcement of our salvation, yes it does sayy in the bible to become baptized but thats not all it says, it also says that we cannot be baptized until we have repented and asked forgiveness, i was baptized, but long after i became a christian. in fact i didnt even ave to be baptized to go to heaven i knew i already will. do you member when jesus was crucified? and he and the the two theives member the one theif that repented and then jesus said"today you will be with me in paradise"

Answer 3

Remember the thief on the cross next to Jesus? Was he baptized? No; he wasn't, yet Jesus told him "TODAY you will be with me in Paradise".
So, you see...baptism is not necessary to get into Heaven, or to forgive your sins.

Answer 4

Guess it just depends on your religion. You dont HAVE to be babtised. Its wonderful to be..but not being..will not keep you out of heaven. Jesus already took away our sins when he came into our hearts. I think its more like starting over..being born again..cleans you of your past. Do you think that if you are babtised as a baby..and you live a full life..that u get to go heaven..just becuz of that..Nooooooo

Answer 5

well what would you say if someone were to die for you? take your place for death so you wouldn't have to die and all you would have to do is ask and he would take the place. well we all have sinned right and the penalty for sin is death. so it just takes one mistake. but i know someone who took everyone's place. he was perfect and had never sinned. but this is what happend. they took him and put him on the cross and that is a very long and painfull death they whipped him and beat him and teased him. they spit on him and he almost died before he got to the cross they made him carry his own cross up but he couldn't. when he finally got up they nailed his hands and feet to the cross.they put a crown of thorns on his head and pushed it down. they also put a sign on the cross that said: this is Jesus the king of jews. now he could've stopped them if he wanted, but he wanted to save us from eternal death. and the only way that he could save us is through dieing for us. after he was dead they put him in a tomb with a rock rolled over it (becuse some of his deciples were saying that he would raise from the grave and they didn't want them to steal the body and say that he did) but on the third day he did rise from the grave. the reason why is because since he was a perfect man he didn't have any sin and sin is the reason why we die. since he didn't have any sin he couldn't die. after he rose from the grave 500 people saw him rise from the grave. now tell me this.... what would you say if someone took off with your car and 500 people saw the peoson that took your car would you believe it. well i don't know about you but i would believe. so it is the same thing, he rose from the grave and 500 people saw him that is how i know that this is true. now he went though all of this for you and he can save you from haveing eternal death instead he can give you eternal life. you can live in heaven with him. all you have to do is admit that you are a sinner and ask him to forgive you. and he will forgive you. all that you have to do is pray this prayer with me....
Dear Jesus, thank you for loving me so much when i don't even deserve to have your mercy. Lord come into my life, change me and forgive me. i believe that you are the only way to get to God and i believe that you died on the cross to pay for my sin and rose 3 days later. you are my savior and one day i will live with you forever. but while i am down here help me take a stand for you. please use me in what ever way that you want and help me make a difference and fill me with over flowing love. i love you! in Jesus' name amen.

if you just prayed that prayer you probably have a lot of questions.
