Another argument which denies the essential role baptism plays in our salvation is answered.
Were those disciples who were immersed by John the Baptizer required to be re-immersed on the Day of Pentecost or thereafter? Some sincere Bible students maintain they were, but will the evidence really support that view?
All who wish to enjoy the remission of past sins will call on the name of the Lord by obeying the gospel plan of redemption. In no other way can one receive pardon.

One dirty little trick used to confuse sincere people about the purpose of baptism.
John Calvin was a tremendously influential person in Protestant history. But his work reveals his philosophy toward the Holy Scriptures. Is this philosophy worthy of emulation?
It has long been known that denominationalists, welded to the theory of salvation by “faith alone,” repudiate the connection between baptism and the forgiveness of sins. Some, formally sound on this issue, now are capitulating to sectarian error. Take a brief look at this issue with us.
Every one uses the principles of “logic,” whether aware of it or not. Humans cannot function without some logical skill. When it comes to religion, however, many fling “logic” to the wind. No where is this more apparent that in considering the plan of divine salvation.
