Question 30 - Is baptism optional?
Acts 2:36-41
"Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ. When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, 'Brothers, what shall we do?' Peter replied, 'Repent and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Sprit...' Those who accepted his message were baptized."
Mark 16:16
"Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved."
Tomorrow's question - Will you base your salvation on what men say or on what God's word says?

Question 29 - According to the Bible, God's holy word, how am I to be saved?
Romans 10:17
You must hear.
"Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ."

Romans 10:9-10

You must be baptized.

~hearth bench~
When we bought this house in May,
we were really pleased that there was a fireplace in the living area.
But, the fireplace didn't have a hearth. :-(
Enter, my Dad, who has taken up wood working since his retirement.
He asked us to describe a bench that we could put in front of the fireplace and use as a hearth.
So we told him what we would like to have.
And that is exactly what he built!
Isn't it beautiful??
We just love it!
Thanks Dad!
