Q&A#52 Does Baptism Save Us?
September 20, 2018
Alastair Roberts
Today's question: "In Q&A#46, you seem to say that baptism (with water) is necessary for salvation. Am I interpreting your perspective correctly, and if so, what do you think about the man on the cross next to Jesus going to heaven without baptism?"
See Q&A#46 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD1g9k-Oj6g.
