352: Lesson 13: Must We Be Baptized To Be Saved?
These are those who practice infant baptism, but an infant certainly cannot believe. Of course an infant is not accountable but is innocent and is not lost. 5) Then there are also those who essentially say that, "He who believes and is not baptized will be saved." They are trying to tell us that we are saved by faith only and that baptism is not necessary to be saved, but all that you have to do is believe. Again, like the other three, this is contrary to what the Lord has said in Mark 16:16, "He who believes and is baptized shall be saved." On the day of judgment we are only going to be judged by what the Lord says and not by what we think. Who are you following? Are you ... Our Lord said in Mark 16:16, "He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned."
