Unless there is a lurking Campbellite here brother. Though I am the main man on the other end of this discussion on water baptism, I also have never said in public in this forum, or in private, that
anyone here is teaching that water baptism is essential and prerequisite for salvation. The issue in this thread is questioning me on why I believe it's not necessary as a public profession of faith nor operative as a Church ordinance in this present age. I think someone comes in here trying to teach it is would be jumped by all of us if our webmaster didn't boot and ban them first before we could get to them. So I agree with you, no on both counts: No one is teaching water baptism as essential for salvation, and I have not, am not now, nor will ever accuse any of you of teaching it. I've been in the Grace Movement for 25 years now and have had fellowship with people just like you all, and as you get to know me you will see we are in agreement on many, many things more than we differ.
I'm answering the messages in chronological order, so...back to the discussion.
Grace and peace
