Marriage is legit. The marriage itself is not unclean as the two are made one by God's decree. But sin is not forgiven and union in Christ is not achieved if one is not in Christ. | Again, you move further and further away from baptism as you yourself well know that neither the Baptist nor the Presbyterian view of Baptism confers union with Christ. |
I never said baptism conferred anything, did I? I think we were talking about marriage and what holy meant in 1 Corinthians 7:14 weren't we?
Now concerning Marriage to an unbeliever... God's word and declaration that marriage is not unclean makes it legit confers the truth of it. I think that was what we were discussing. This passage is about the sanctity of marriage. The holiness (sanctification) of the family unit and what that holiness is.
