An individual who has not been regenerated has not passed from death unto life, he has not been washed from his sins and he has not been saved. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.Water baptism is a work. That eliminates it as the means of salvation. We are not saved by our own works or by the works of other mortal men. Being regenerated and becoming a child of God speak of the same event. We are regenerated when we receive Christ. John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
The works of unsaved men do not earn anything of spiritual value. The works of saved men do earn rewards, but not salvation itself and not until after they have salvation. |
