Resolved the Bible teaches: Salvation follows baptism and is for the remission of sins.

You must realize by now that my opponent's arguments have been nothing more than to take the words of the Scriptures out of context in order to prove his points, and he has constantly resorted to strawman arguments and ad hominem attacks throughout this debate. These are not the actions of one who is strong in his arguments. Also, I will offer no new arguments since my opponent will not have a chance to respond to them. But I hope by now you realize that my opponent has not refuted any of my arguments, he has only tried to side-step them in an attempt to "prove" his own proposition. I do not need to tell you how to vote; you can make up your own minds. "My opponent's failure in this debate is to reconzie [sic] baptism as a part of God's plan to redeem mankind. " In other words, my opponent asserts that the conditions of the debate are not to make compelling arguments against him, but to change my mind and believe as he does after this debate. This is simply silly. "First, I would like to say, when I ask someone to put a series of words in order. That constitutes as a question by me. " That is not a question, and you did not specify before the debate, but I will let it slide. As I stated, I believe I have enough to clinch the debate without having to call you on your own rules. "NO! !! one verse does not constitute God's Bible plan for man's salvation. " But any verses that speak against would contradict God's Word and make Him a liar. "Children of God are the only people that have the right to ask for forgiveness i. e. 1 John 1:9. " Given the context, there's no reason it doesn't apply to unbelievers who are confessing their sins for the first time. After all, the things required for salvation are belief and confession (Romans 10:9). If you believe and confess Jesus, you are saved, and God will hear your prayers of forgiveness. He has asked three final questions, so I will address them here. 1) "Why is it so important to the anti-baptism folks to preach against sinners who want follow the command to be baptized? " Who here is anti-baptism? Is this another ad hominem attack? There's nothing wrong with being baptized; in fact, our Lord commands it and He led by example. However, it has no place in the work of salvation, as I have shown. It's for disciples. 2) "Would your faith deny to baptize a repentant sinner, who has believed and confessed Jesus Christ? " No, of course not. Baptism is for professor believers, Christ's disciples. 3) "Would a proper definition of a Christian be (Someone who has obeyed ALL of Christ's teachings)? " No, of course not. My definition of a Christian is someone who has confessed Christ and believes in His heart Christ has risen from the dead (Romans 10:9), and who has a faith that does good works (James 2), that we may know them by their fruit (Matthew 7). I will not ask any questions as my opponent will not have a chance to respond. Again, I would like to thank my opponent for the discussion, and any readers who have taken time out of their day to read the debate and vote on the winner. I just ask that you vote based on who had the stronger arguments, not based on whom you agree with.
