1 | should we consider baptism as | Luke 3:21 | SlayTheWicked | 115638 | ||
Should we consider the baptism of Jesus as more than an example of what we should do. Should we consider it as the antitype of salvation. Our sins were washed away through His baptism and they were paid for on the cross? | ||||||
2 | should we consider baptism as | Luke 3:21 | ischus | 115690 | ||
Slay, I know exactly what you are asking, and I think that you have a valid conclusion. I have always wondered why the perfect Lord chose to be baptized under repentence for forgiveness of sins. The worst answer that I have found was that Jesus was just being an example for us (although I would not go to the extent of kalos' comment), and I think that there really is something to a vicarious baptism, at least for the people of Israel, and maybe for everyone??? The bible does not feature Jesus doing something without a theological purpose in mind. I believe that there is a very unique baptism here- one like no other. Although we can't be conclusive here, I would tend to agree with your initial idea. ischus |
