#24 Is Baptism Necessary for Salvation?

Can you be saved without being baptized? This came up in conversation with a friend recently. I found out they were attending a Church of Christ church. And I knew this about the Church of Christ—they teach that water baptism is actually necessary for salvation. Maybe you have a friend who believes this. And maybe they believe it about infant baptism, or about immersion. Either way, this is a question you need to know how to answer. Maybe you’ve even wrestled with it yourself. In this debate episode, you’ll learn: Whom should be baptized? Does baptism cause your sins to be forgiven? Why does Peter say “Baptism saves you” in 1 Peter 3:20–22? And is baptism necessary for salvation? Then, you’ll hear my dialogue with the gentleman about baptism. ---- Resources: https://thethink.institute/articles/10-arguments-for-paedobaptism-with-credobaptist-responses ---- Want to help us reach tens of thousands of Christian men with the resources to lead their families in the Christian worldview?
