| Baptism by death? |
|
| |
| Many people think differently on the subject of baptism. Some say that it is required for salvation, and others believe that water is not required for baptism, but altogether, isn't baptism a public display to show and represent your faith and belief? I mean, I'm not an expert on Christianity, or anything else for that matter, but that is the down-to-earth basics isn't it? It may be neccesary, it may not be, but altogether, as I stated before, it IS a symbol isn't it? Be it a symbol to show the 'Old man's' death, and the 'New Man's' birth or as a symbol to show your acceptance of Jesus Christ, it still is a symbol. (Please forgive me if I'm being irreverant to anyones beliefs) So could you be baptized by bullets, per se, in front of your family, friends, and neighbors? Or for those who believe in baptizm by water, by being drowned? (Again, I'm sorry for any irreverance) I mean, for example, the antichrist has taken over the political world, those who have already been baptized have been ratured, and Christianity has been banned and the punishment for being a Christian would be death, etc., and you have been caught praying. If the antichrists catch you, and kills you in front of everyone for being Christian, couldn't this be considered a symbol of being saved? Couldn't this be a considered to be a testimony to the non-Christians? Is this baptism by death a baptism? Again, I'm sorry if I've been irreverant to anyones beliefs, please forgive me. |
