Rom. 8-10

I think I am a Stumbling Stone....

Chapter 8 is a long discussion about faith and sin and who we are as Children of God, and what that means exactly. As Jamie is fond of saying "If God if for us, who can be against us?"

We see more proof that being baptised with water isn't the end all of eternal salvation. You have to say AND believe that Jesus is lord and he was raised from the dead, and rely on and trust in His love. I believe maybe the public baptism thing comes from the "confess publicly and speak freely and openly of your faith", part.

8:28 "We are assured and know that all things work together and are for good to and for those who love God and are called according to design and purpose." God can and will use all things, even those that seem terrible at the time, for our good.
