I can see how you’d think that, but its not a checklist. Its so simple its incredibly difficult. :-)
Think of it this way.
Your daughter or son gets married. At the ceremony, your heart swells. You tear up., You cry. You are joyous and sorrowful all at once.
You have a child. Your heart swells. Your brain quickens. You feel a dramatic life changing moment where you know nothing is the same as it was before the event. You start focusing on different priorities. You go into an intense period of study of your own moral convictions, the type of person you are, and who you SHOULD be for that child.
No checklist. These are natural things that happen as an outshoot of your joy and life changing moments.- same with salvation, but its the BIGGEST life changing moment one can have if you truly understand who Christ is and what he means to you and all of creation.- Once one believes, these are things we tend to do, but there is no biblical List that gets you salvation. We are saved by grace through faith. Ephesians 2:8
As for a few scriptural references, heres an easy link -http://www.bible-truth.org/baptism.htm
I just did a quick google search on baptism in the bible- give it a once over. Remember- If it seems to difficult to understand or someone tries to confuse you with things you need to “Do” to be saved, test What Christ said against that-
John 14:6
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
And Matthew 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
AGAPE friend :-)
Thanks, will read link.
The Church from the time Peter preached on Pentecost, has taught and believed baptism is for the remission of sins and receiving the Holy Spirit.
2,000 years this has been the Universal Faith.
the link provided teaches a 16th century heresy that denies this Faith.
let the reader beware!
