Sencere answers plz.

Thank you

Answer 1

No all do not follow it, and a lot don't understand it either. Baptism is not your way of getting to heaven. Salvation is the only way you can get to heaven.

When a person trust on the Lord Jesus Christ and his finished work on the cross, they are saved. Baptism is a step of obedience. What baptism means is an outward proclamation that I have died with Christ. That means that my old self (sin) has died with Christ, hence the going down into the water. And coming back out of the water is a symbol that I have been raised in a new life with Christ. The old man is dead, and I am to live a new and resurrected life with and for Christ.

Sin has lost its power over a truly born again person. Does that mean that they wont sin anymore. No, but God gives us his Holy Spirit to guide us and help us make the right decision. We still have the the flesh that we have to deal with and outside temptations. But with daily reading Gods word and praying can help us live a life that is well pleasing to God.

Also another bit of advice; keep a short account with God. What does that mean? When we do sin, and we will. Ask God to forgive us of that sin as soon as we are aware of it. If you practice this you will have a wonderful relationship with your God and Father.

Answer 2

I was born into a catholic home and was baptized. I now don't follow the churches word. I live my life as I deem righteous. However, my son was not baptized upon his birth and I would not marry in a church, so no just b/c you are baptized does not say you will obide by the christian life. I feel that if children are born pure what is the purpose of cleansing them. Baptism is to rid the body of sins. What sins do they have.

Answer 3

I view Baptism as an outward sign of an inward reality. Being baptized is symbolic of what the Holy Spirit does when you are saved. You were dead in your sins and then through Jesus Christ, you were made new by the washing and regeneration of the Holy Spirit. See Titus 3:5 in the Bible and 1 peter 3:21.

Answer 4

After you have made your dedication to God, you should be baptized. (Matthew 28:19, 20) Baptism lets everyone know that you have dedicated yourself to Jehovah. So baptism is only for those who are old enough to make a decision to serve God. When a person is baptized, his whole body should be put under the water momentarily.*—Mark 1:9, 10; Acts 8:36.

As footstep followers of Jesus Christ, Christians get baptized just like Jesus did.

Answer 5

Baptism is not necessary for salvation. It is the initiatory sign and seal into the covenant of grace. As circumcision referred to the cutting away of sin and to a change of heart (Deut. 10:16; 30:6; Jer. 4:4; 9:25,26; Ez. 44:7,9) baptism refers to the washing away of sin (Acts 2:38; 1 Pet. 3:21; Tit. 3:5) and to spiritual renewal (Rom. 6:4; Col. 2:11-12). The circumcision of the heart is signified by the circumcision of the flesh, that is, baptism (Col. 2:11-12).
One last thought: If someone maintains that baptism is necessary for salvation, is he adding a work, his own, to the finished work of Christ? If the answer is yes, then that person would be in terrible risk of not being saved. If the answer is no, then why is baptism maintained as being necessary the same way as the Jews maintained that works were necessary?

Answer 6

The purpose of baptism is a symbolic one. It shows that you are being washed from your old life, your sin...And into a new life with Jesus. It is the outward projection of an inward commitment to a life in Christ. It is not necessary to be baptized to enter Heaven. But it is a good thing to do. I hope that helps. God bless you.

Answer 7

I'm born christian. I was baptised when I was 2 months old. Baptising means, understanding God & accepting his ways. It's a representation to the world that u've accepted & understood Christ whole heartedly.

Many ppl will ask u to take immerse baptism & say that will lead u to heaven. But that isn't true accoring to my point of view. What I beleive is whole heartedly accepting christ matters & not the type of baptism.

Answer 8

Christians must be baptized before they enter heaven.
Baptism is to get rid of original sin (when Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge even though god told them not to).
It kind of means you are a human(different from rest of animals), you must live your life morally and
This is the point that God will allow you to be part of his kingdom.

Answer 9

Baptism is in similitude of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ.
The wages of sin is death.
Christ brings eternal life.

Romans 6:1-11
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Answer 10

It's the outward sign of the inward change...

It's not a requirement for salvation
