Faith & Works FAQ
Question:
Aren't you condemning everyone else? Please do not think me critical of your beliefs, but to claim that all Christendom is condemned because they do not believe as you about baptism, is very arrogant, and relegates you to the ranks of Mormons and Roman Catholics.
Answer:
I expect that you'd tell a Muslim he needs to trust Christ to be saved, and even if he said you were exclusivistic or "very arrogant" you'd have to stick to what you believe the Bible teaches. Well, I believe the Bible teaches baptism is part and parcel of the salvation process, a natural outgrowth of real faith, the point of remission of sins and the way to get into Christ (Gal. 3:24 ff). I cannot but tell you what I believe. If I'm wrong, show me why and how and I'll change.
