    Contributed by Gordon Brownlee on Apr 14, 2025
     | 470 views

Within that journey we record what our eyes perceive as beauty, what our hearts cherish as food for the soul and what our spirit learns of eternity. Hence every endeavor in life relies upon body, ...read more

    In the New Testament accounts, those who believed were baptized. No one was baptized and then believed, but those who believed were baptized because they were saved.
