- No. Let's examine what the Scriptures teach on this issue: First, it is quite clear from such passages as Acts 15 and Romans 4 that no external act is necessary for salvation. Salvation is by divine grace through faith alone (Romans 3:22, 24, 25, 26, 28, 30; 4:5; Galatians 2:16; Ephesians 2:8-9; Philippians 3:9, etc.).

Mar 22, 2023 · Yes, there are some verses that seem to indicate baptism as a requirement for salvation. However, since the Bible so clearly tells us that salvation is received by faith alone (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5), there must be a different interpretation of those verses.
Mark 16:16, a verse often quoted to prove baptism is necessary for salvation, is actually a proof of the opposite. Notice that the basis for condemnation in that verse is not the failure to be baptized, but only the failure to believe.

I would first answer by making the question more precise, because the way I’d pose the question is “Are we justified before, in, or after baptism? Are we united to Christ? Do we become one with Christ, and does God become one hundred percent for us before, in, or after baptism?” Because in the New Testament, the word savedis used for what happens b...
So let me give my answer from texts and then show how that point relates to baptism. 1. Romans 3:28: “We hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.” 2. Romans 5:1: “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God.” 3. Romans 4:5: “To the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungod...
And now the question is, “How do you talk about baptism, and how do you understand those texts that were quoted that seem to connect baptism to that act, that beginning?” Let me give some answers to that. The first thing I would say is that the thief on the cross was told by Jesus that that very day he would be with him in paradise. He was not bapt...
Here’s an interesting analogy since circumcision was brought into the picture there, and there’s kind of an image of circumcision in Colossians 2. If you go to Romans 4:11, Paul says, If you just take the analogy — and that’s all it is; it’s just an analogy between baptism and circumcision — then this text would say that baptism is a sign of a righ...
Now, that’s the meaning that 1 Peter 3:21actually picks up on when it says, in relationship to the flood and Noah’s rescue through the ark through the water, “Baptism, which corresponds to this [the salvation of Noah’s family in the ark and the flood], now saves you.” That’s probably the clearest text for those who want to say that baptism is salvi...
Now, here’s one last important text they’re raising. In fact, this is where you begin, Acts 2:38: “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” It looks like this: 1. Condition number one: be baptized. 2. Condition number two: forgiveness wil...
Oct 12, 2024 · Mark 16:16. “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.” Here, Jesus declares that belief and baptism are essential for salvation. Salvation is not merely a result of baptism alone but is predicated on genuine faith in Jesus Christ.
Nov 30, 2021 · In Acts 2:38-41 alone we learn that baptism brings: (1) “forgiveness of sins;” (2) the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, which no unregenerate person could possess; (3) salvation (“save...
Jan 4, 2022 · In the case of baptism and salvation, the Bible is clear that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not by works of any kind, including baptism (Ephesians 2:8-9). So, any interpretation which comes to the conclusion that baptism, or any other act, is necessary for salvation, is a faulty interpretation.
