1 | Verses where water alone means baptism? | John 3:5 | DocTrinsograce | 134507 | ||
If, has been suggested, that the reference to "water" in this verse means baptism. Do we have any other passages in scripture where the word "water" by itself means baptism? | ||||||
2 | Verses where water alone means baptism? | John 3:5 | Dalcent | 134566 | ||
The expression 'forbid water' means 'forbid baptism'. So by itself WATER here means baptism. The clause (a complete grammatical unit) contains a complete reference to baptism, not reliant on the remainder of the verse, which thankfully defines WATER as baptism. I'll glad the verse contains proof that 'forbid water' means 'forbid baptism.' Otherwise, some hack might say that it was referring to forbidding a glass of water to a man whose throat was too dry to say the 'sinners prayer.' Dalcent |

3 | Verses where water alone means baptism? | John 3:5 | Morant61 | 134579 | ||
Greetings Dalcent! Clearly the phrase 'forbid water' refers to baptism because the very next clause says, "that these should not be baptized..." The interesting thing about this verse though is that Cornelius had already received the 'gift of the Holy Spirit' which according to the traditional rendering of Acts 2:38 could not happen until AFTER one had been baptized. :-) So, how did Cornelius receive the gift of the Holy Spirit prior to being baptized?

Dear Tim, I will attempt to answer your questions about Acts 10 and Gal 3:27 in due course. I am not ignoring them; I am going out soon. Some of the verses I gave alongside Gal 3:27 paired baptism with burial which I would argue is more clearly immersion baptism in water. Best Wishes Dalcent |
