The Monday Muse: Saving Waters

I’ll keep it short and sweet this week. In Scripture, salvation and baptism have an extremely close relationship to one another. It is quite common to see statements about salvation being accompanied by the charge to be baptized as well. In fact, Mark 16:16 says, “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.” It raises the question:

Does a person have to be baptized to be saved?

It is an important question relating to the Great Commission and how we go about making disciples. So…fire away.
