DAVEH: While baptism in itself
will not save anybody, I firmly believe without baptism, one cannot be
saved. (Mk 16:16 and Jn 3:5)
C'mon Dave:
Read Luke. Start at 19:2 and read down
to 19:9. You will find a little fellow that was saved with no mention of
baptism. Same with the thief on the cross. Baptism is an act of
obedience that any true Christian will want to perform as soon as he or she is
saved, but to make it a requirement for salvation prior to salvation would be
saying you are saved by your own works rather than showing that you are the
recipient of God's mercy.
Keep searching, my friend. The truth is
in the Book.
