Re: [TruthTalk] baptism

DAVEH:  Sorry to disappoint you on this, Debbie.  I am simply overwhelmed with too many posts to be able to reply to all of them.  Furthermore, Kevin was the one who introduced faith into the discussion, so I thought it appropriate to let him respond to Terry's question.  However, let me offer my thoughts.     To keep this simple, let me say that I really like Paul's explanation of faith as mentioned in Heb 11:1.... Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. ........I'd be curious to hear Kevin's perspective.

Terry Dave Hansen wrote: DAVEH:  I concur, Kevin.  Faith is certainly a key element of salvation, but I do not think it is the only element necessary for salvation.  How do you see it, Kevin....do you believe faith is the only necessary element of salvation? DAVEH:  Hey Kevin........Do you have a problem with me using 1Cor 15:29 in support of other Biblical passages that become cumulative evidence that the Primitive Christians believed a water baptism was necessary for salvation?  It does lead one to that logical conclusion, does it not? Christians of all ages accept the clear teaching that salvation is by Faith   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.langlitz.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you wish to receive things I find interesting, I maintain six email lists...
