Mark 16:16

He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned."


Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

Today's scripture reminded me of Hebrews 4:12, "For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a Discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

Those who believe that you Must be baptized in order to be saved, quote the above passage (Mark 16:16)--if you believe AND are baptized, you will be saved! Those who do not believe that you must be baptized in order to be saved counter with, "it is only in NOT believing that you are condemned, Not in not being baptized!" One thing is clear--it pleases God that we are baptized as a public testimony of our faith! If it pleases God, I must do it, for my whole heart's desire is to please Him! How about you?

God Bless You!

--FEATURED FUNNY:

As an airline reservation agent, I took a call from a man who wanted to book a flight for two but wasn't happy with the price of $59 per ticket. "I want the $49 fare I saw advertised," he insisted, saying he would accept a flight at any time.

I managed to find two seats on a 6 a.m. flight.

"I'll take it," he said, then worried his wife might not like the early hour. I warned there was a fee of $25 per person if he changed the reservation. "Oh, that's no problem," he said dismissively. "What's fifty bucks?"
