ARE MEN SAVED BEFORE THEY PUT ON CHRIST?  by steve finnell

Are men saved before they become part of the body of Christ? Are men saved prior to putting on Christ? Are men saved before they are baptized into Christ? The answer is no, no, no.

Men do not put on Christ before they are baptized in water.

Faith in Jesus precedes being baptized into Christ.

Mark 16:16 "He who believes and is baptized will be saved..(NKJV)

Faith in Jesus precedes being baptized into Christ.

Galatians 3:26-27 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ  have put on Christ. (NKJV)

Baptized into Christ

Romans 6:3 Or do you know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? (NKJV)

Baptized into Christ
Romans 6:3 Did you forget all of us became part of Christ Jesus when we were baptized? In our baptism we shared in his death. (ERV)
