7 Reasons Why Baptism Is NOT Required for Salvation


Listen Later

Did Peter declare that water baptism is a requirement for salvation? In the book of Acts, Peter seems to indicate that all believers must be baptized in order to be saved and yet, the writings of Paul and the teachings of Jesus seem to suggest otherwise. How do we resolve this apparent contradiction?

In this midweek podcast episode, Frank responds to one of several hostile emails we received after releasing a 60-second video on the topic of baptism. Using the S.T.O.P. method, Frank walks us through the correct interpretation of Acts 2:38 and provides seven reasons why Christians should NOT regard water baptism as a requirement for salvation. Frank also answers questions like:

  • What is the significance of water baptism?
  • Is the Book of Acts prescriptive or descriptive?
  • Did Peter and Paul have opposing views on baptism?
  • What did Jesus say about baptism?
  • How can Christians have fruitful discussions when we disagree on theological points?
  •  

    By the end of this episode, you will walk away with a better understanding of the expectations and purpose of water baptism as well as the basics of biblical interpretation. Understanding the Bible can be challenging for all Christians at times but taking a moment to S.T.O.P. and ponder the context will make all the difference!
