Christianity EtcRe: Is Baptism Necessary For Salvation? by ozuomba: 10:01pm On Sep 25, 2016
Yes, baptism is so necessary. Baptism is a sacred ordinance which is an eternal doctrine, that is, it was before the foundation of this world was laid. It is a saving ordinance instituted by the Gods for man in his path to perfection. The Lord made it clear to Nicodemus in the bible that except a man is born of the water and the spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven. Thus, the savoir in all His purity still got baptized (born of the water) in order to fulfill all righteousness. Even Gods are bound to obey their words and to the children of men the right path to celestial bliss. Then He went ahead to be confirmed by the Holy Ghost which is baptism of the spirit.So the first principle of the gospel is faith in Lord Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism by immersion for the remission of sin by him that have the priesthood authority to administer such and laying on of hands to confer the companionship of the Holy Ghost by a priesthood holder. When one partakes of an ordinance he automatically enters into a covenant with God. An ordinance is a sacred rite or ceremony performed before human witnesses, unseen principalities, glories of heavens and before angels and God, testifying before these that that person being baptized or conferred with the Holy Ghost has willing chosen to serve God take upon him the name of Christ, to obey Him in all things, at all places. Then God will promise to bless such with all that He hath. smiley
