Relax, baptism is just a ceremony for those who like razzmattaz, I haven't been baptised and don't give a hoot ;)
BAPTISM by Mick
Question:- If baptism is so absolutely 100 percent vital and essential and indispensable for salvation (as some people think),why isn't it one of the 10 Commandments?
The answer is
Jesus saves, not baptism ;)
I haven't been baptised because it simply never crossed my mind ,as I've no interest in dead material atoms of H2O, and to his credit even a Baptist Minister told me its not necessary for salvation. Yet some people think it automatically makes them "holy" despite baptism and the coming of the holy spirit being completely unrelated:-
"The holy spirit hadn't come upon the Samaritans as they'd simply been baptised" (Acts 8:16)
Even the great Paul said:-"Jesus sent me not to baptise,but to preach the gospel" (1 Cor 1:17)
We need no weak water to wash us clean.
Jesus said:- "
You're already clean through the word I spoke to you" (John 15:3)
