What the Bible Says About Water Baptism - Herbert W Armstrong - March 1979

Herbert W Armstrong

Have we had any instruction lately in the Church on water baptism? I'm sure I haven't spoken or written on the subject for a long time. And what I'm going to tell you will be a little different than anybody else would give it to you. is water baptism essential to salvation? Why do we need it? Millions in traditional Christianity have been absolutely deceived. And I'll tell you, brethren, we have been assuming more of the sort of things that are false doctrines generally believed in professing Christian churches than we realize. Notice what Jesus said in Mark 7:7, "Howbeit in vain do they worship me..." Now, most people will tell you that you can't worship Christ in vain. If you worship Him, it can't be in vain. But He said that many are worshiping Him in vain. How? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
