different beliefs. I know I'm going to heaven when I die, and I haven't been
baptized because I am not ready to be, but just because I haven't been does not

part that I want to be. I have accepted Christ as my savior and that to me,
is being "born again!?" [Click Here For The Answer]

he hath sent” (John 6:29). [Click Here For The Answer]
QUESTION

It has been said that
one has to believe in the actual baptism of Jesus to be saved. Jesus baptism by
John represents or was symbolic of the Jewish High Priest laying his hands on
the sacrificial goat, which transferred the sins of the nation to the animal. In
other words, the sins of humanity were laid on Christ by John’s baptism. Is
solely believing in the baptism of Jesus necessary? Even further, does this
belief alone saves you? (From John C. Young book) [Click Here For The Answer]

James makes
a demand in his letter, "But someone will say, 'You have faith, and I have
works.' Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by
my works" (James 2:18). James' question falls under the category of
'epistemology,' - of how we can know that something is so - versus 'ontology,' -
of what is. In James's letter, works are offered as sign or evidence of faith.
As James points out, what a man does is more compelling than what he says. But
does God, who knows our thoughts afar off, require evidence? [Click Here For The Answer]
