1 | When were disciples born again? | John 3:11 | Bows44 | 156939 | ||
HI CSM, Again I am confused by what appears to be a contradiction in your post. You wrote: Water baptism, is the baptism of repentance from sin, Mark 1:4, and the Holy Spirit takes that person out of sin and puts them into the body of Christ. I Cor 12:13 For by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body... Then as an outward show of an inward change, a person is then baptized with water confessing Jesus is now their Lord (i.e.supreme authority). So, do you believe water baptism is necessary for salavation or not? Also, were Enoch, Abraham, Moses, Isaac, Joseph, David, the prophets, etc. saved (born again) or not? If yes, when and how were they all born again? Just trying to understand your theology. Bows44 |

2 | When were disciples born again? | John 3:11 | C.S.M. | 157029 | ||
Hi Bows44, No, not necessary "for" savation, salvation has already taken place or it would be useless to be baptized in water. You would just go down a dry sinner and come up a wet sinner. Remember Johns baptism, was the baptism of "repentance" toward God, and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. That's what has to happen to sinners, to become believers. After they become believers, then as Jesus said about his own baptism, "thus it behooves us to fulfil all righteousness." So water baptism, after salvation, is the fulfilled will of God and his righteousness in that area. Always in Christ, C.S.M. |
