Theophan,

I believe in baptism for our salvation. What meaning did you understand in my post? Not just about baptism but about the original sin.

In Christ,

Joanna

But salvation implies being saved from something...Baptism saves us from the curse of original sin, the sin of Adam that is in us, aswell as our own personal sins, etc.

Theophan,

Ok. I see what you mean. I am not wording it correctly. I didn't mean that baptism is what saves us... that would be a Baptist's belief.

In Christ,

Joanna

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. (Ps. 50)

No I do think that Baptism together with Chrismation and the Eucharist does actually save us, just that we- well I- have a tendency to fall away from the Salvation and need to constantly repent.
