PLAIN BIBLE TEACHING

It is truly amazing to see how many
will try to get around plain Bible teaching.
People approach the scriptures with pre-conceived notions and then twist
them to their own destruction (2 Peter
One example of such twisting is in the matter of baptism. There are those who say that one does not have to be baptized to be saved. Are they twisting the truth when they say this? Read the following scriptures for yourself:
“He who believes and is baptized
will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned (Mark
“Then Peter said to them, Repent,
and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the
remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts
“And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your
sins, calling on the name of the Lord (Acts
“There is also an antitype which
now saves us-baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer
of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Peter
