John 5 24 my favorite verse in the whole Bible Jesus had barely very sanity here with my word and believeth on him that sent me hath everlasting life and Shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life No word of baptism there, but it gives us that clear hey if you believe you have everlasting life You have eternal life. You will not be condemned in the future. You shall not be condemned You're not going to go to hell. You've already passed from death unto life past present future. You're saved done sealed Amen But those that want to try to teach that baptism is required for salvation note they may turn to a passage like mark 16 Which again just on that that other side note of modern scriptures So called the the modern perversion of the Bible They'll tell you that basically almost the entire last The entire last portion of the book of Mark just shouldn't even be there that it's not reliable But then they're going to turn to this passage to try to prove That you need to be baptized, right? It's a they pick and choose when is it convenient to have this as part of the Bible when is it not? but little verse number 15 Powerful passage and he said unto them go ye into all the world and preach the gospel every creature. Amen Verse 16 he that believeth in his baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned. Amen Okay, that's a very true verse a very true statement The problem is that people want to butcher this and change this into meaning something that it doesn't when it's simply a true statement and part of this has to do with just Understanding logic and reasoning and just understanding how things make sense and just kind of using Reasoning to understand what this says and what it does not say Now he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. Is that a true statement? Yes Yes, does this say you must be baptized to be saved? It does not say that it just says he a person that Believable and is baptized. Well, hey, I'm I believe and I'm baptized So I'm saved right? Yes, I'm saved he that believeth in his baptized Shall be saved Here's the logic part of this if you have a true statement because elsewhere in the Bible you have he that believeth shall be saved as I just quoted from John chapter 5 verse 24 and Many verses where it's just believe the believing is what saved you could add anything After that and it's still a true statement and it's not misleading and I'll get to that in just a second It's not misleading at all when you just read this Hey He that believes is baptized shall be saved he that believes and goes to church shall be saved he that believes and praise the God Shall be saved he that believes and stands on their head shall be saved because he that believes Shall be saved you could add anything to that The Problem comes in is when you start trusting that no, you must I must believe in my baptism to save me That's a problem because how does the rest of this verse go? But he that believeth not Shall be damned no mention of baptism on the damned part people are either saved or damned Okay So even within the context of this one verse Well, he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved but he that believeth not shall be damned So what does that mean for the person that believes and is not baptized? Are they damned? Well, no because he that believeth not shall be damned So he does believe so he can't be damned The verse answers it itself He that believeth and you say well, I'm not baptized But I believe you're still saved because we could point to many many other passages that prove that also clearly as well
