"He that that believeth and is baptized shall be saved.He that believeth not shall be condemned" ......Turn to Mark 16 and read it.

If were saved through Water baptism then were saved through our own works. If were saved by the baptism of the Holy Spirit then were saved by Gods work.

Jesus never talked about being water baptized to be saved. The others are correct in saying that it is baptism by the Holy Spirit. Once you have received Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, then what follows is the outward confession of being water baptized. This is only done to show that you have received Christ and to let others know in a public way that you are now one of His children. Some early acts of baptism were done before Christ had come to earth. This and sacrifices were done to cleanse people from their sins. Before Christ shed His blood on the cross for us.

baptism is an outward expression of an inward transformation. The only way that you can be saved, is through the shed blood of Christ- whoever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved. Baptism is something that we do after we are saved, because if we could be saved by baptism then Christ's death on the Cross was not complete payment for our sins, and the Bible says that it is. We should all be baptized, however it is not what saves us.

Jesus said how to be saved. Baptism by the Spirit is something that happens, but it is not what makes it happen. God makes that happen. What we need to do is this:
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. (John 3)
So get it right!

this is ridiculous to have faith that baptism saves a hundred% of the time, notably whilst the Catholic answer to "Are you saved?" is often "not yet." For Catholics, toddlers have in basic terms unique sin as much as an age of duty, subsequently baptism's efficacy would be a hundred% for them IN JUDGMENT, efficiently yielding the comparable "salvation" that the Baptists have faith whilst they say baptism isn't needed for toddlers. Catholics additionally define religious "baptisms" which contain martyrdom and baptism of want as valid replacements for water baptism in the removing of unique sin. it incredibly is how the thief on the bypass would have bypassed his probable non-baptism and gained the grace he gained on the bypass. subsequently salvation and baptism continually is going jointly, and this closes the loop of Mark sixteen:sixteen.

No, baptism is only and outward sign of our commitment to God, not what saves us.
We are saved by obedience to God and faith in the grace that we have from the shed blood and broken body of Messiah Yeshua.

First you get saved by accepting Jesus as your savior then you get baptized to be reborn.
