INSIGHT

Baptism as God's Saving Work

  • Baptism saves because it is God's work that washes sins and unites you to Christ, not a human work.
  • This means baptism is a means God uses to grant salvation, reflecting what Scripture teaches about grace and faith.
INSIGHT

Baptism Usually Saves You

  • Baptism normally is the means God uses to save people, though not the only means.
  • It serves as a sure moment confirming God has applied Christ's work individually to the baptized person.
ADVICE

Don't Equate No Baptism With Damnation

  • Do not confuse lack of baptism with condemnation; salvation is tied to faith.
  • Embrace baptism as a means of connecting faith to the assurance of salvation.
