This is debate #1 from a two-night debate... Church of Christ Debate: Is Baptism Absolutely Necessary for Salvation? Patrick Donahue from the Church of Christ affirms that salvation is impossible without water baptism, no matter the circumstance. Traever Guingrich from Grace Chapel Reformed Baptist Church denies its absolute necessity & says it is something people do because they ARE saved, not to GET saved.

Great Sermon! Trevor is the only one who said it right , we are saved by Grace and Grace alone . Faith and repentance and a willingness to be baptized are evidence that our salvation is real but further evidence is that we continue in obedience. There is also a verse that says that even if we are faithless He must remain Faithful, but I would not want to be that person. Pride blinds a person to the truth of scripture but that person will be saved and all their works burned up. God Bless .
