  4. Question (6:1) • “If more sin brings more grace, then why not let sin rule in my life so I can get more grace?” • What does it mean? • “sin” (singular) = a master • “sin” produces “sins” (v12) • Why ask it? 5:20

  9. Baptism Is faith PLUS baptism required to be saved? NO ONE was asking that question! Faith & baptism not thought of as separate steps

  10. Baptism Acts 8:35–38 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he preached Jesus to him. As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?” And Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” And he ordered the chariot to stop; and they both went down into the water, Philip as well as the eunuch, and he baptized him.

  11. Baptism Acts 10:43–44, 47 “Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.” While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening to the message... “Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?”
