  1. Myths About The Bible Baptism Is Not Essential To Salvation (1)

  2. “Baptism is commanded by our Lord (Matthew 28:19), and disobedience to this command is sin. Regardless of the importance of baptism, the Scriptures do not teach that it is necessary for salvation. By adding this requirement, Churches of Christ are guilty of preaching ‘another gospel’” (James Bjornstad, via www.ankerberg.com)

  3. “Baptism is certainly important, and required of every believer. However, the New Testament does not teach that baptism is necessary for salvation” (John MacArthur, via www.biblebb.com)

  4. “Though baptism plays no part on the salvation process, the New Testament does not envision a true believer in Christ who is not at some point in their life baptized in obedience to the commands of the New Testament” (Author unknown, via ezek27.truepath.com)

  5. “Is baptism necessary for salvation? I don’t beat around the bush about it at all. I come out with a plain, definite, NO! No, baptism doesn’t save, doesn’t help save, and I’ll go even further to say that it doesn’t have anything in this world to do with the saving of the soul” (Hiscox, Good News, March 2, 1972, via Handbook of Religious quotations, p. 6)

  6. What Does The Bible Say? Are the things associated with baptism essential to salvation?

  7. Being born again (Jn. 3:5) Being saved (1 Peter 3:21) Sins forgiven (Acts 2:38) Sins washed away (Acts 22:16) Raised with Christ (Col. 2:12) Newness of life (Rom. 6:4) In the body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:13) In Christ (Gal. 3:27) Added to the church (Acts 2:41, 47)

  8. If the things in the previous points are not essential to salvation, then baptism is not essential. However, I believe that a reasonable person ought to be able to see that baptism is essential to salvation
