The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Is man required to "choose" in order to be saved?

That is a whole different discussion. No, I am not suggesting that, though I do believe that baptism is very important. No, I was referring to Romans 6:3,4, as it pertains to this question of newness of life. Here, I believe, it is speaking of the spiritual baptism, which is to die with Christ and be raised up with him through faith - conversion. But my point is that the newness of life follows our crucifiction with Christ. It is not antecedent to it. And, it is through faith.
