Does Baptism save? - KingdomCraft

Edit - I just realized I forgot to add the music to the sped-up section at the end. Sorry!
The first song is Psalm 36 from the Genevan Psalter. The rest of the music is written by me.

It's complex, not complicated. Complicated implies disorder, complexity implies order.

I was raised Baptist, and I remember my preacher using the thief on the cross as proof that baptism doesn't save. Jesus explicitly tells him that he will see him later in the kingdom of God even though he obviously didn't have any chance to get baptized.

Ever plan on doing a video covering your opinions on Pentecostalism?

There Is baptism in water and baptism in the holy spirit. Look back at every verse that says baptism saves and you will see its talking about the holy spirit and that occurs when you put your trust in the finished work of christ.

[AleksanderLydkunst]

The way the bible describes it, saying “through baptism you are saved” I think we can take contextually as telling us that going through the process of a TRUE baptism, we are truly saved, BECAUSE of the way the bible also describes what constitutes a true baptism. The act itself is symbolic, yes, but the process one needs to go through to make the baptism genuine *ahem, repentant😌* one needs to;
•recognize their spiritual death in sin (going under the water)
•needing a savior in Jesus (symbolized by a pastor, elder, mentor, or friend who helped you understand the gospel, physically taking you through the ‘death dunk’ and pulling you up through the next part)
•and by understanding when coming up from the water represents Christ’s resurrection and your new spirit/life that He has given you!…

Doing this act without this understanding makes their particular example an empty work
The thief on the cross never had a chance to be physically baptized, but had a repentant heart and Jesus could see the baptism of his spirit clear as day.. and I’ve even heard it argued that the thief declaring Jesus while in the view of others was symbolic of a type of physical baptism, which is plausible to an extent, but to argue that it’s necessary actually would put the power of people’s salvation in the hands of witnesses to their public declaration of Christ, which we can all reasonably assert is not what the bible tells us👌🏼

Conclusion: going through the process of a *GENUINE* baptism, we can know that we are saved, because for it to be genuine, we have to have faith in Christ.🙌🏼

blessings, really been digging your videos lately🙏🏼

[aiwaschawa]

Hey, can you do a video showning the whole church? I wanna make one in the server I play with my friends in

[westhuizenarchives]

What are some of Luther, Calvin and other Protestant theologians writings that you read? I wana look more into Protestant theology and learn about it more.

Salvation is a gift. If you have to be baptized for salvation, is it really a gift?

[joshlb]

2:44 um gotta stop you right there. Catholics don't believe it's 'magic water' that baptises you. Yes Holy water is used but the actual thing that happens is the Holy Spirit Himself baptises us.

Cathedral's looking great btw :D

Why would someone need to confirm that they are saved in order to be saved? Doesn't Paul say that (1 Corinthians 3:10-15) "10According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire."? If someone may be saved whether or not they may physically be baptized (based on circumstances or deliberate), doesn't that mean water baptism does not save? Is the foundation Paul speaks of a relationship with Christ, salvation, or something else?

[maxstooksberry]

I guess I’d be in the extreme circumstance. I was baptized at age 9, but didn’t genuinely put my faith in Jesus til I was 11 or so, and never got re-baptized. It never crossed my mind that it was necessary until over a decade later, and by then, I believed I was already born again and it would seem confusing to do it so much later in my walk with Jesus

[No_auto_toon]

I have a friend who is a Baptist like me (he also left KJVO and other stuff a few years before I did), and he has a different take on Baptism than most Baptists. He believes that it is necessary for salvation, but more in the lordship salvation sense, I think. I’m not sure what he thinks about Lordship salvation, but I know he believes that new professing Christians will surely want to obey Christ’s first command to be baptized, and that if a professing Christian doesn’t get baptized (in ordinary circumstances) then he isn’t saved.

[YVLsleep]

Im kind of a new Christian, grew Up atheist. Im living in a small German town, with only a carholic and a Lutheran church, I dont want to join either Denomination but I want to get baptized. What should I do? I mostly want to join a presbyterian church but none js near me (living in Germany)

[erekgamingberliner]

Do you ever plan on making a video on like christian channels that exclusively make videos on false teachers and such?

[rosemarykelley]

Catholics would say that a person who was baptized as an infant who then comes to Faith as they reach the age of reason is proof of the "fruits" of their baptism. So saving Faoth was imparted to the infant and proof of that is that he became a devout Christian as an adult.


Now, when a infant baptized person does not remain in the Faith they would say that we must "Cooperate with the Grace of Baptism" to gain salvation.
So, everything is covered !😉

[antongunnarsson]

2:05 Also, if baptists were to believe that baptism saves then they wouldn't believe that people who were baptized as infants or those who for any other reason weren't baptized after faith and repentance but believes that they should only be baptized once and therefore don't do it again, or those who didn't get baptized by immersion etc. could be saved.

Also baptists see baptism as a work rather than a sacrament.

[noahtylerpritchett]

Baptism confirms your thought believes into salvation through sincerity as confirmation to what was but your own mental activation.

People who are faithful but doubt their salvation remember that by faith were baptized. They are Christian.
Be at peace.

That's why i utterly uphold the doctrine of salve baptismus.
Or salvation by baptism. A act of faith.
People think conversion is exclusively "dear God im a sinner forgive me amen" and that is correct that salve oratio (salvation by prayer) saves, but not everyone who believes in Christianity knows how to pray.
But by faith their thoughts becomes loyal action to the saving grace of baptism.

And i utterly damn those who see no power in baptism to those who are faithful.

But also utterly damn force baptisms who think baptism is magic water. Because it destroys the understanding of divine grace. By faith.

Deathbed salvation is the exempt exception.

[Nathangames]

Gods grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone saves us

[beyond]

God desires to save us through his creation. God has bound salvation to the sacrament of Baptism, but he himself is not bound by his sacraments.

[DragonZenith]

Honest question: I know you cite 1 Peter which would seem to be a pretty open-and-shut case taken on its own, but what about Jesus and the rich young man (Matthew 19 : 16 - 22)? The rich young man literally approaches Christ Himself and point-blank asks Him what he needs to do to receive eternal life. Jesus's answer does not include baptism - not in His first response, or His second when the rich young man requests clarification and asks what he needs to do to go beyond what is asked. Are we really to believe that Christ's own criteria for salvation when asked as directly as possible, is incorrect or incomplete? If baptism really is necessary, why would He not clarify this?
