Child Of God Before Obeying The Gospel Read Baptist manual on justification, and baptism. One cannot be a child of God until he obeys the gospel of Christ. It is the power of the gospel that makes one a child of God. When he does what the gospel commands him to do then, he can become a child of God. One is not in Christ before he is baptized, because baptism is that which puts one in Christ.
Baptism adds to the church wherein is salvation.
It is sad but true that there are many sincere people who have fallen in the hands of false teachers and have been led astray to believe that they are acceptable and well pleasing in the sight of God. Is to look into the Word of God and see what I am doing, and find out if it is acceptable. We must do things the Lord's way to be saved. The Scriptures are our guide in all that we do. It is not enough to do just what God says.
