Is baptism a condition of salvation?
Re: Is baptism a condition of salvation?
Let us proclaim the mystery of our faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.
Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

Re: Is baptism a condition of salvation?
I once heard a preacher pray to a Truck of holy ghost to over run the minions of the devil.
on another occasion:
I heard a kid pray "holy ghost punch the devil, you do a right, then a left and finish with an uppercut."
am not joking

It would be a blessing if they missed the cairns and got lost on the way back. Or if
the Thing on the ice got them tonight.
I could only turn and stare in horror at the chief surgeon.
Death by starvation is a terrible thing, Goodsir, continued Stanley.
And with that we went below to the flame-flickering Darkness of the lower deck
and to a cold almost the equal of the Dante-esque Ninth Circle Arctic Night
without.

Re: Is baptism a condition of salvation?
Baptism for me, at the time of my "believing" was not a matter of "having to do" ., it was however, a sign for me to start living contrary to what I had been living without Christ., I expected the Holy Spirit to descent upon me, not as it did upon Christ, but surely as a believer in Him., I expected this to be a turn-around from my sins and sin no more type of thing., that has been my turning point in life., I have died to myself and been reborn to a new life in Christ.
Over the many years I have come to read, listen and learn about the many "interpretations" of what baptism is supposed to be about., confused about the diff understandings ~> I have come to be from time to time., but when it comes down to it, it is very basic and simple., you hear, you believe, you take action, and you turn away from your old ways of believing., you become a new creature., one who the Lord our Christ never ever abandons., no matter what!
That is what baptism means to me., I don't know about everybody else's interpretation in this new age "theological world" !!!

I take it that your answer is several days/weeks.
