I have been reading about water baptism from the viewpoint of different denominations. Interesting how the same scriptures can be used to support more than one interpretation. This is part of the confusion that Satan is using to keep believers at odds and create conflict. There are some things that don't "really matter" as far as doctrinal differences. Then there are those fundamentals that absolutely do matter and form the basis of our beliefs. Where does baptism come in at? Is it a necessary component of salvation? Is it just an outward expression of your commitment to Christ?
What do you think? Let me know and leave me some scripture references.
Here are some other helpful passages: Mark 1:8, Matthew 3:16, Mark 10:38-39, Mark 16:16, Luke 3:16, 21; John 3:23 and finally, Acts 19:1-7
