ECT Water Baptism Necessary For Salvation?

[Jerry Shugart]

At the present time there is only "one" baptism:

"There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all"​

(Eph.4:4-6).​

The "one" baptism for today is the one performed by the One Spirit:

"For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit" (1 Cor.12:13).

8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

Hi and I believe that JERRY means this !!

In Eph 4:5 , the KJV has it say BAPTISM and that is wrong !!

Anyone that sees the Greek text in Eph 4:5 has the Greek word BAPTISMA and not BAPTIZO /BAPTISM !!

In Rom 6:4 you find it also BAPTISMA !!

It means there is only one BAPTIZER and that is the Holy Spirit and in that sense Jerry is right one baptism !!

Check it out and be surprized !!
