Is baptism required for salvation? Ep. 67

Baptism is a controversial subject in the world of Christianity. Some faiths believe it is essential for salvation. Some believe it’s an important sign of faith, but really not strictly required. But what do Latter-day Saints believe, and why? In this episode, Dave explains some of the history behind the evolution of baptism, and why Latter-day Saints believe what they believe.

Here are a few quotes supporting that statement: “[Scripture] says, ‘And he dipped himself seven times in the Jordan.’ It was not for nothing that Naaman of old, when suffering from leprosy, was purified upon his being baptized. Rather, this was a symbol for us. For as we are lepers in sin, we are made clean from our old transgressions by means of the sacred water and the invocation of the Lord. We are spiritually regenerated as new-born babes, just as the Lord has declared: ‘Unless a man is born again through water and the Spirit, he will not enter into the kingdom of heaven.’” --Irenaeus, A Dictionary of Early Christian Beliefs, pg 52. “‘Unless a man has been born again of water and Spirit, he will not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.’ These words have tied faith to the necessity of baptism. Accordingly, all there-after who became believers were baptized. So it was, too, that Paul, when he believed, was baptized.” -Tertullian, A Dictionary of Early Christian Beliefs, pg 53. “Unless a man has been baptized and born again he cannot attain unto the kingdom of God. In the Gospel according to John: ‘Unless a man is born again of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.’” -Cyprian, A Dictionary of Early Christian Beliefs, pg 55. Yet those who back into the “Baptism is great but not necessary” corner are forced to deny this straightforward interpretation of scripture, in favor of other verses which favor salvation by faith alone. This quote exhibits this behavior nicely: “the Bible is clear that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not by works of any kind, including baptism. So, any interpretation which comes to the conclusion that baptism, or any other act, is necessary for salvation is a faulty interpretation.” Source: http://bit.ly/32O9dl4 Latter-day Saints, on the other hand, find no contradiction between salvation by faith in addition to required baptism.
