Isaiah 66:15-16: "For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many."
WAS THE THIEF ON THE CROSS QUALIFIED TO BE A BAPTIST? BY STEVE FINNELL
ReplyDeleteDid the thief on the cross meet the qualifications to become of member of the Baptist Church? NO, he did not.
1. To be a member of the Baptist Church you must be baptized in water.
The thief was not baptized.
2. To be a member of the Baptist Church you must say the sinner's prayer.
The thief did not say the sinner's prayer.
3. To be a member of the Baptist Church you must believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead.
The thief did not believe in his heart that God raised Jesus from the dead. Jesus was still alive when the the thief was saved.
Baptists believe that men today can be saved just as was the thief on the cross.
Was the thief saved. Yes. The thief was saved before the new covenant was in force. Men today cannot be saved like the thief.
Baptists believe you can get into heaven without being baptized, however, they believe you have to baptized to become a member of the Baptist Church.
Mark 16:16 "He who believes and is baptized will be saved....(NKJV)
