Do you think that being baptised will change someone?


Paper mache

Yes, Baptism relieves us of original sin.  It makes us clean and worthy to God.  

That may be what some teach, but you won't find that in the Bible. It is only the blood of Christ that makes us clean and worthy to God.

Blessings Mega,,,

I was very moved by your brief  & candid testimony (page 2),,,,,,,,,,,,we find out about a lot of "stuff"when we finally "surrender"self,,,,,,Praise the Lord,the only hindrance there ever was ,"me","I",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

These changes happen at different rates for different people, but I suspect that it is not God, who is the slowpoke, it is that we do not surrender to His will but stubbornly cling to our own ways.                                                              posted by Omegaman

Also,your powerful statement,,,,,

Personally, I do not think it will have any effect whatsoever. We change, because it is God who has changed us on the inside. We do not get baptized so that we can change, we get baptized, in obedience to Jesus because we have been changed.

WOW!!!!  Truth be told   ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,   Amen & Amen!                      Thank you so much for sharing,it was awesome

I mean, if someone really wanted to change but had trouble doing so. If they were trying, but then they kept failing because they didn't have enough willpower to resist worldly temptations, do you think that if they were baptized, they would have enough incentive to obey God's word better?

The Lord commands baptism-- although it is not a magical event it is a step of obedience-- if some one is having trouble in their Christian walk due to lakje of obedience maybe they need to be obedient-- so getting baptized would be the first step in that  direction
