Scriptural Baptism

[Beetow]

And yet, Jesus sends out the 12 disciples . . .

There's some information in post No.8 you should probably take into
consideration.

Does actual water wash away our sins, or is it the blood of Jesus through His sacrifice that washes away our sin?

actually its the grace that comes from the merits of His blood!



A sacrament is the fruit of the sacrifice of Christ, an outward (visible) sign that signifies what it accomplishes inward spirituality. (invisible) washing away sin by the merits of the blood of Christ!

we cannot ordinarily have the inward action of grace without the outward sacrament of baptism!

Washing ez 36:25-27 zech 13:1 acts 22:16 titus 3:5

Christian baptism is an outward sign of the inward action of grace, or merits of Christ’s passion, blood, and death applied to our souls!

We cannot see the inward action of grace purifying the soul, so God gave us the outward “sign” of water washing the body to indicate the inward action of grace and connected the two.

The sacraments are signs of God’s grace! The sacraments signify what they accomplish!

The grace of justification in the power of the spirit is manifested by the sign of baptism! Jn 3:5 titus 3:5 water and the Spirit

There must be baptizing, for it is one of Christ's "commands" (Mat 28:20). The Lord Jesus never baptized anyone because He wanted the Christians to maintain this ministry. After the Apostles were gone it was left up to the Christians to baptize; for all Christians are a "holy priesthood" of the Lord Jesus (1Pe 2:5). Believers are saved first, then baptized to symbolize (not actualize) burial, resurrection and ascension; our present position is that God "hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus" (Eph 2:6). We're as good a there!

how are they saved?

All are saved by believing and accepting the Lord Jesus as their Savior; "and their works do follow them" (Rev 14:13).
