The Church of Christ and necessity of Baptism
Water Baptism... Is it essential for salvation? Also, can a deathbed convert be admitted to heaven without it?
P.S Are there any Church of Christ people that post here?

We had a thread on this someplace. Some felt it's necessary since in Acts people were immediately baptized and others felt it's the first act of obedience after you're saved.
Does the Church of Christ say that you must be baptized in their church?

Hey Brody,
Here's one thread dedicated to the subject: http://www.wvss.com/forumc/viewtopic.ph ... ht=baptism
I think a few other threads evolved into discussions on baptism along the way.
I'm not Church of Christ, but I went to a Church of Christ university a long time ago...

Hi,
The mainline COC are hardcore baptismal regenerationalist. To the extent that even if water wasn't available, the person would be damned for eternity. Also, some add that if you are not baptised by a COC preacher, your lost. This line of thinking has lead me to believe that COC theology is more akin to Jehovah witness and Mormon theology. Since both teach nearly the same thing on these regards.

I just graduated from a Church of Christ college though I don't consider myself Church of Christ by any means. I am quite familair with their theology and history though.

The thief on the cross wasn't baptized. Of course, he had no opportunity to.

The Church of Christ originated in the "Restoration Movement", prominent early leaders being Barton Stone, Thomas and Alexander Campbell, and Walter Scott. I believe they were all originally Presbyterian. There is more than one Church of Christ today, as there are various Baptists. The most prominent and prolific thinker, writer, and debater of the movement, and easily most influential, was Alexander Campbell, and he denied baptismal regeneration.
