1 | jcsav, Why is order "water ... Spirit" | John 3:5 | jcsav | 147079 | ||
1 Peter 3:21, "The like figure where unto even baptism doth also NOW SAVES US......by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Col 2:12, "Buried with him in BAPTISM; wherein also ye are risen with him through FAITH of THE OPERRATION OF GOD, who raised him from the dead. Also, (Rom 6:4). Now, tell me why this is not a part of the Gospel message defind in 1Cor 15:1-4. There is no reason to believe that Nicodemus view of water baptism, was any different from any other Pharisee of that day. They understood that there was one to come that would Baptise, not only the coverts (which was common for the Jews to do in that day. But also the Jews themselves. That is why they question John the Baptist as to why he was baptising (the Jews). Jews views on Baptism was not influenced by Near Eastern thought. We give them way to little credit when it comes to their understanding of Scripture. That is why Jesus was able to silence them. Now, we have endless back and forward arguing. All because of this lack of knowledge. |

2 | Did Nicodemus' view diff w/ John? | John 3:5 | Searcher56 | 147087 | ||
While this verse isn't about water baptism ... What was Nicodemus' view of water baptism? Was Nicodemus' view of water baptism different that John's? What was the influence of Jews views (plural?) on baptism? When did they start? Did it change over time, including their captivity? |

3 | Did Nicodemus' view diff w/ John? | John 3:5 | DocTrinsograce | 147218 | ||
Hi, Searcher... Baptism has its roots in pre-Christian Judaism. It is called "mikvah." When I asked the Rabbi at my local Aish Hatora, the told me there were three kinds. (I've never witnessed any of them.) 1. Rishama mikvah 2. Tamasha mikvah 3. Maswetta mikvah I'm trying to remember the details. I only wrote down the names... sorry. The first kind is daily and done by oneself. The second kind is weekly. The third kind is used once a year, but is particually associated with gaining cleansing from some serious sin. The third kind has to be done in a river or stream (no pumps or buckets). One thing I remember clearly was that the immersion had to be done three times. I'll dig around if you're interested. Or maybe you can use the phrases above to search it out yourself. Sorry... but work and studies have really monopolized my time lately. In Him, Doc |

Doc, Thank you for the info, again jcsav says something but was not able to provide more info. I enjoy talking with rabbis because they give me insight to the OT ... even better if they know Christ. I found the following ... the last two may be off. http://fp.thebeers.f9.co.uk/baptism.htm http://www.essene.com/B'nai-Amen/MysticalImmersion.htm http://essenes.net/tamasha.html Thanks again, Steve |
