[QUOTE="BrownFlush, post: 4761398, member: 65823"] No faith.. no baptism. Baptism is no more earning than faith is. Why are you making baptism a work and not faith? Jesus made neither a work. Both are simple acts of obedience to a command. In the text in James, I like what he says about faith. If it’s alone it’s dead So a faith that is alive and pleasing to God is an obedient faith, one that simply wants to do whatever ever the word requires and for whatever reason. Also in James 2 , the devil’s believe , but it did the no good ll Please give the scripture that teaches what you stated that baptism is an outward sign of your faith. The apostles writings are by the authority Jesus. The entire NT is the Lord’s last will and testament. Paul said of Peter that he had written some things hard to understand, but that didn’t mean you couldn’t understand it. Some of the Apostles writings are not discussed by Jesus, but still as authoritative. [/QUOTE]
