Why was Paul baptized? Baptism is not against grace through faith. Baptism is pure passive surrender to what God does in baptism.

dan p:

Do you believe Saul/Paul was saved the way heaven's testimony describes it? Do you know where the experience is found?

And IRRELEVANCY again , and feel that I am so misunderstood and being a dispensationalist , I do believe in WATER BAPTISM , just that is not for NOW , but that Water Baptism will come back during the GREAT TRIBULATION , Mark 16:15-20 and have yet to see it happen .

But in Acts 9:6 Paul says , LORD what do you wish me to do ?

When Saul/Paul said LORD / Kurios what do you wish me to do , Saul is acknowleging that Jesus is his MASTER .

Then Rom 10:9 says , That if you should confess with your mouth , the LORD JESUS , and should believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead , you will be saved .

Then in 1 Cor 12:3 reads , Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by God's SPIRIT says Jesus is accursed , and NO ONE is ABLE to SAY Lord Jesus EXCEPT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT .

So Saul / Paul was SAVED in Acts 9:6 .

And here is what 1 Tim 1:16 says , But for this reason I was given mercy , in order that in me ( in Greek the word ME is EMPHATIC ) FIRST / PROTOS , Christ Jesus might show forth all longsuffering for PATTERN , OF THE ONES COMING to Believe on Him unto EVERLASTING LIFE >

This means that Paul is the PATTERN to SALVATION >

He could not have been saved by Acts 9:6. In Acts 22:16, which happened after Acts 9:6, he was still in his sins "...wash away your sins..." .

There is no scripture in the New Testament that says faith only. It's only the by grace alone through faith alone narrative that tries to push this. It was not a first century belief.

Dan please if you would and please go into great detail even if it takes a few paragraphs tell Me just what your belief is on water baptism cause it defiantly sounds as if it is against the scriptural definition.
