SHOULD I BE WATER BAPTIZED?

[GodsGrace]

I thought the blood of Christ washed away your sins...not water.
Does this mean the blood of Christ was symbolic and the washing away of our sins by water is how it really happens?

Seriously though...
maybe it's not one or the other...
maybe it's BOTH.

Read John 6 very carefully.
Every time I read it I notice something new.
I recently noticed verse 53 and 54.
Very interesting.

I understand that you are unable to answer a simple question
Please list the verses where Paul teaches WATER IMMERSE BAPTISM is a requirement to enter Heaven :)

Why does it have to be only Paul?
Did Paul go to the cross for you?

Do you believe what mark said?
Do you believe what JESUS said?

But I've already replied to this.

You must read the ENTIRE bible,,,
not just the parts you like.

So you really think that you need to drink the blood of Jesus Christ ?

But where to find the blood?

The Bible doesn't say that we are to drink the blood of Jesus to wash away our sins. It just says that His blood cleanses us from all sin:

NKJV 1Jn 1:7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

No need to go searching for the blood to collect it and drink it.

Did you ever read John 6?
You might understand it or not...
you might believe it or not....

But you most definitely should not make fun of what Jesus taught.

John 6:53-55
53So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. 54“He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 55“For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink.

SHOULD I BE WATER BAPTIZED?

So, if a soldier is in a battle..and comes to know Jesus when his soldier friend presents the gospel...believe it...then is killed 10 min later with out being baptized.....is he going to hell? If a person hears a street preacher and believes.....then dies on the way to the baptismal....is he...

I know deeply what it means to eat milk and honey in the Promised Land.
I also know what it means to eat the flesh of Jesus and drink the blood of Jesus.
Jesus Christ is the Word made flesh.
Therefore, the focus of everything points to the Word of God.
Since the first sin of Adam and Eve, absolutely everything points to the authority and glory of God, and to the Word of God.

Thanks for reminding me that.
