Hi. My concern is that Catholics require baptism for salvation, whereas my understanding of Scripture is that we are saved by calling on the Name of the Lord, then are baptized. Paul said, "Whoever preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed." Do you agree that the Catholic gospel is different than what Paul preached? Thanks! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

I love these videos. Catholic answers has truly helped me to understand the Catholic position and this one helps me so much! I received the Holy Spirit apart from Baptism (I didn’t know the necessity of Baptism) and so I struggled with this teaching but knowing that God isn’t bound by His Sacraments and can save the ignorant like me makes me more Catholic! I’m in RCIA!

@@everydaycatholic8030 Hi. If you received the Holy Spirit, I do not think you would say, "I perceived." That is, our perceptions can be wrong. If you are filled with the Holy Spirit, you know it. Referring to the Holy Spirit, Jesus said, "Whoever believes in Me (i.e. knows Me personally) shall have rivers of living water bubbling up inside them unto eternal life." Conversely, if a person does not know the Holy Spirit, if they do not have that river of life, neither do they believe in Christ. Remember, ask and you shall receive! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

Around 8:56, “God is not bound by His sacraments. We can affirm baptism is necessary for salvation for those to whom it is revealed in those who have the possibility to ask for it. But we can also affirm that God is not bound by His sacraments, and He can administer the graces of the sacrament in other ways outside the boundaries of the sacrament itself.”

@@zekdom Hi. I hope that you will be committed to what is real and true! I know that I am challenging Catholic doctrine, but I am trying to save your eternal life. Paul wrote that even if he, Paul, were to preach a different gospel, he should be accursed. You quoted Romans 6.4-6, "We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life." Let's suppose this means that water baptism is necessary for salvation. What, then, do you do with Romans 10.13, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved"? What Paul means is that, just by asking, you can be filled with the Holy Spirit. As Christ has said, "My Father will give the Holy Spirit to whoever asks of Him." John the Baptist said, "One is coming after me...He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit." Yet, if you claim that water baptism is necessary for salvation, you negate the words of Paul. You have to preach a different gospel, saying, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord in baptism..." Furthermore, you have to alter the words of Christ, "My Father will give the Holy Spirit to whoever asks of Him through baptism." It is a totally different gospel. "Ask and you shall receive," says the Lord. "Be baptized and receive," say the Catholics. I hope that you will follow the Lord! Ask - and you shall receive! That is a promise of God. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

Amen 🙏♥️🙏👍

Is our rite, ritual, sacrement, reglious acts required in addition to salvation which is God's work?

If physical baptism is not essential for the salvation of those who the Gospel has not yet been proclaimed to, why then wouldn't the Church be much more optimistic that babies who die in the womb go to Heaven?

Hi. Do not be deceived; either a person knows Christ and is right before God or they do not know Him. On that great and terrible day, Christ will say to those who have not met the Lord, "Depart from Me; I never knew you." It is written that those outside of Christ will go away into everlasting punishment. There is no purgatory. When a person dies, they either know the Lord or are separated eternally from Him. There is no in between! Salvation is simply knowing the Lord and you meet Christ simply by asking! Jesus said, "My Father will give the Holy Spirit to whoever asks of Him." Saying that baptism is necessary to know the Lord is contradicting and disobeying Christ's gospel. I hope that you will gain absolute assurance of your salvation - just by asking! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

its a command in the bible so yes it is necessary. Matthew 28:19-20 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, BAPTIZING them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.

I would be interested to hear your thoughts on these commands of Jesus and what you think they mean. Regarding your question whether Christians should go to the Synagogue: I see no reason why they have to. Going to the Synagogue is (at least as far as I know) not even an explicit command of the Old Testament. I agree with you that the at the beginning the apostles continued to live like Jews in some way. But I also see a progress going on during which the early church under the guidance of the Holy Spirit step by step got taught which parts of the old covenant are still relevant in the new one (for example the prohibition to commit fornication) and which are not (for example circumcision). The council of Acts 15 makes that quite clear to me. So yes, the Apostles continued to go to the Synagogue and the temple but I think they did so not just because it was their Jewish custom but also to meet people who know the scriptures and to preach the gospel to them. When I investigate history, I see Christians and Jews separating more and more and the Christians stopping to go to the Synagogue. However, they DID NOT STOP TO BAPTIZE. Also gentiles and people who did not ask for it as the jailer in Acts 16.

@@danielvinzent2520 Hello sir. First of all, thank you for your very thoughtful response. I don’t normally get those. Like you, I have become very interested in the history, specifically how the people of the time thought and how they would have heard and understood the things Jesus and the disciples taught and did. First, I never heard growing up in the Catholic church how water baptism did not start with John the Baptist but with the Pharisees. Shortly after the Maccabean wars, the Jews developed a ritual that involved immersing a Gentile in water as the final step in converting to Judaism. Peter and Phillip appear to have continued that tradition, for lack of a better word, when bringing believers in Christ into the faith. As Mr. Brusard (not sure if that’s how it’s spelled) mentions in the beginning of this video, the early church was still promoting adherence to the Law of Moses. When James declares that the Gentiles should live there lives in obedience to, at least, some of the Mosaic law and that they should go to the synagogue every Sabbath to hear Moses preached, James is encouraging them in that direction. This would make sense from a certain prospective because salvation was “from the Jews” and Jesus said that he was sent to the “lost sheep of Israel “. That was what the apostles understood. Now, I hope I don’t lose you with this next part but, here goes. As followers of Christ we are no longer under ANY law. As Paul wrote in Galatians 5, anyone who tries to live a life under law has fallen from grace. Notice that he says, “under law”, not under THE law, which might imply the Mosaic Law. Now, some english translations do say, “the law” but most do not. We have been freed from law. No one can live a life under law and under grace. They are mutually opposed to one another. If one wants to try, they had better be perfect in their pursuits because that is the standard that Jesus imposes in Matt 5. I have gone on long enough. I look forward to your response, Happy New Year and may God Bless you and your family.

I’m a little confused. So let’s say a person who doesn’t believe u need to be baptized in order to be saved doesn’t get baptized, is that person now culpable for not following the command of Jesus Christ? Or does God not hold his ignorance against him and therefore accepts his faith as a form of baptism?

John 3:5 is not referring to baptism. They were talking about the 2 births, the first being born of water in a mother’s womb, flesh is flesh as Jesus put it. The second birth is of the spirit, as Jesus put it, it is like the wind, you do not know where it comes from or where it is going, John 3:8. We see for example, the spirit moved on the Cornelius household, before they were even baptized. We see the eunuch experienced a change of heart before he was even baptized. We see Philip was baptized but did not experience regeneration. Having said that, it all depends on Gods mercy.

Lots of assumptions. Acts 10:44-48 these believers were saved before baptism

if being babtised want necessary,Jesus Himself would not of demonstrated its necessity,by example,and His recieving the holy spirit.Anything Jesus did,do.Everything Jesus refused to do refuse it also.He wS sent here by His Father to introduce us to the true God,His Father,and to lead us in the ways of righteousness.And warn us of the tricks of satan,which He also demonstrated by tjrning satan down.

@@kenshiloh Thanks for following up the this discussion after a long time. I do not see a contradiction between Paul's teachings and Catholic Doctrine because "calling upon the name of the Lord" and getting baptized are closely linked to each other. We can see this for example in Acts 22,16 where baptism and calling the name of the Lord are mentioned in one breath. And this makes sense to me because during the ceremony of baptism the name of the one and triune God - which is equally shared by the three devine persons - is invoked. The connecting between baptism and salvation could hardly be put clearer as by Jesus himself in Mark 16,16: "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved..." There also several other passages which bring the two together: Acts 2,38; Titus 3,5 and John 3,5. The last one is especially intresting because not just the early church fathers but also the Reformers of the 16th Century understood it as reffering to baptism (I can provide sources if you are interested). Now back to Paul: If you read Romans 5 in the light of verses 3 and 4 it becomes very clear how important baptism was for the Apostle. Especially when taking into account the previous chapter where he described orignal sin => baptism is the way out of original sin. However: These points should be considerd in light of what I have mentioned in my first post: According to Catholic teaching there is - under given circumstances - also the possibility to get saved without water baptism. We call it "baptism of desire" or "baptism of blood". Just let me know if you would like to get further details. Stay blessed.

So it's not necessary for Salvation but it is necessary for Salvation. Great reasoning. Salvation is solely as a result of what Christ has accomplished on the cross, paying the Ransome price for our sins, nothing else. There is thus nothing more we could possibly do to add to or take away from what Christ has done. Anything which we do whether it is Baptism, the Eucharist, tithing, so-called good works, etc are all only an expression of our love and gratitude to Christ, it cannot add or contrabute towards our Salvation, it's not Christ plus ....., it's only Christ. As Paul says these are mere symbols. Is it good to be Baptized? Yes, it is because it is a visual and open declaration to the world of our commitment to Christ. Paul in Romans 10 incorporates another aspect which the Church seldom talks about and that is confessing with our mouths that God raised Jesus from the dead. Evangelism. We solely concentrate on Baptism or the Eucharist, never evangelising which Paul clearly states in Romans 10. The Scriptures say very little about the doctrine or sacrament of Baptism, it is mostly inferred. Read what Paul says in Romans 10: But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”-that is, the word [the message, the basis] of faith which we preach- because if you acknowledge and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord [recognizing His power, authority, and majesty as God], and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart a person believes [in Christ as Savior] resulting in his justification [that is, being made righteous-being freed of the guilt of sin and made acceptable to God]; and with the mouth he acknowledges and confesses [his faith openly], resulting in and confirming [his] salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him [whoever adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him] will not be disappointed [in his expectations].” For there is no distinction between Jew and Gentile; for the same Lord is Lord over all [of us], and [He is] abounding in riches (blessings) for all who call on Him [in faith and prayer]. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord [in prayer] will be saved.” Romans 10:8‭-‬13 AMP

Romans 11:13 "For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:"

@@renjithjoseph7135 The issue I have with that belief is that it does not allow an infant to accept or reject Jesus as Savior. An infant can only be present. No faith is involved. No opportunity to proclaim with their mouths that Jesus Christ is Lord. It’s an empty religious activity. And what happens when the child grows up and wants nothing to do with the Catholic Church. Which is my story. I reject the teachings of the Roman Catholic church and I’m a cradle Catholic. Now, if I got to hear the Gospel presented as Cornelius did and made a conscious decision that it was true and believed with my heart that Jesus Christ is Lord, then I would have the Spirit of God that was lost in Adam restored to me, as it should be. An infant cannot make that decision.

@@gomezjkv maybe you shouldn't feed your kid just in case he decides later he doesn't like it? Initial salvation is not based on your works or your faith. It is grace given freely by God. It is the grace of God that enables your faith. And nothing shows this more than infant baptism.

@@renjithjoseph7135 Hi. My concern is that Catholics require baptism for salvation, whereas my understanding of Scripture is that we are saved by calling on the Name of the Lord, then are baptized. Paul said, "Whoever preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed." Do you agree that the Catholic gospel is different than what Paul preached? Thanks! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

Amazing grace.. sung at mass. "I'm saved because I believe" No mention of baptism or the eucharist.

Please read John 3:5:”Unless be born again of water and Holy Ghost he cannot enter into kingdom of God.” You need to fear Lord God. That means being careful to please Him. Holy Sacraments are very important. I know Lord Jesus Christ is real in Eucharist because dog in a church (not my dog) tried to distract me from adoring Christ in Eucharist.

St. Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

Jesus set the example, by being baptized.

Surly you aren't saying Jesus got baptized to be saved! He states His reason, not to be saved but to fulfill all that is righteous. Matt 3:13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

What did Jesus get saved from as you say? He got baptized to fulfill all that is righteous, just like He said it for, not to be saved. John the Baptist say Matt 3: 11 I indeed baptize you with water unto (because of) repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: the same command we have, we are baptized for obedience(righteosness sake) in water, Romans 10: 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, ”that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile-the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” No where does it mention baptism in the rest of the book of Romans.

Jesus was perfect everything he did was perfect. I am not perfect I chose to believe and be baptized, to be saved.

Catholic church: you must be baptized catholic and partake of Catholic communion. Jesus the Christ: My Father will give the Holy Spirit to whoever asks of Him. I choose to believe Christ. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

@@annafranc8081 Hi. Thanks for writing. In all love and respect, I disagree that 'being born of water' is referring to baptism. However, let's suppose you were right, that baptism is necessary for salvation. Does that no negate Paul's gospel, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved"? You will need to make a choice: to follow the Bible or the teachings of the Catholic church; you cannot do both! Yet, you are missing the pure simplicity, the beauty of the gospel. That is, just by asking, we can meet Christ, we can be filled with the Holy Spirit - born again! Jesus said, "My Father will give the Holy Spirit to whoever asks of Him." Either that is true or Catholic doctrine is true, that you cannot receive the Holy Spirit unless you are baptized. I hope that you get to know Christ - just by asking! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

@@samuelbaez7530Thanks for sharing your thoughts. My question is, is it relevant who Paul is writing to? He makes the statment, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10.13)." Is that a true statement? In all love and respect, you are missing the gospel, which is a relationship with God, which is salvation. It is written, "This is eternal life, that you know God and Jesus Christ Whom He has sent (John 17.3)." That is, when a person meets Christ, when he or she is filled with the Holy Spirit, they are saved. Do you know the Lord or simply know about Him? Jesus died on a Cross so that, just by asking, we may know Him. If you would like to write out a Bible verse and explain what you think it would mean, that would make your position a bit clearer. Yet, concerning John 3, what makes you think that 'born of water' is water baptism? Is that what you believe? If so, why? Thanks! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.
