1. Is Baptism Essential? Romans 6:1-4 ROBISON STREET CHURCH OF CHRIST- EDNACHURCHOFCHRIST.ORGC

2. Faith Alone The doctrine, “asserts God's pardon for guilty sinners is granted to and received through faith alone, excluding all ‘works’.” ROBISON STREET CHURCH OF CHRIST- EDNACHURCHOFCHRIST.ORG

3. “Baptism, then, is not necessary for salvation. We have only to consider the example of the thief on the cross; he was not baptized, yet Jesus promised that he would be in paradise that day. Some who believe are physically hindered from being baptized, and some people refrain because they believe it’s not necessary. I still believe they will be in heaven if they have truly trusted Christ alone for their salvation.” – R.C. Sproul ROBISON STREET CHURCH OF CHRIST- EDNACHURCHOFCHRIST.ORG

4. “Baptism, as taught in the NT, is the picture of death and burial to sin and resurrection to new life, a picture of what has already taken place in the heart, not the means by which spiritual change is wrought. It is a privilege and duty, not a necessity” - A. T. Robertson ROBISON STREET CHURCH OF CHRIST- EDNACHURCHOFCHRIST.ORG

5. “If we are saved by faith, then we are saved by faith when we believe and not when we get baptized, otherwise, we are not saved by faith. Furthermore, if baptism is necessary for salvation, then anyone who receives Christ on his deathbed in a hospital and who also believes Jesus is God in the flesh, who died and rose from the dead for his sins, etc., would go to hell if he doesn't get baptized before he died.” – Matt Slick ROBISON STREET CHURCH OF CHRIST- EDNACHURCHOFCHRIST.ORG
