2 | What is this "washing?" | Eph 5:26 | Searcher56 | 77199 | ||
Wowrd study ... washing - loutron (Strong's 3067) Mommapbs, greetings Loutron means bathing, bath, the act of bathing. It is used here and Titus 3:5, "He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit" To answer it is liek taking a bath, which I think even then, it was to remove the dirt. I think it was done outside the tub ... then one got in the tub clean. It is a different Greek word and root than baptizo. My point is that we must not just look at the English translations, we must look at what the Greek says. Also, the word used for wash in John 13:5-14, where Jesus washes His disciple's feet. Nipto (Strong's 3538) ... it means to wash or to wash one's self. I would like it to be connected with baptizo. Apolouo (Strong's 628) is the word used in Acts 22:16. also see 1Co 6:11. It means to wash off or away and is from apo (Strong's 575) meaning of separation or of origin ... and louo (Strong's 3068) meaning to bathe, wash ... and is the root of loutron. Searcher |

3 | What is this "washing?" | Eph 5:26 | Mommapbs | 77217 | ||
Greetings Searcher - so to expound upon your analogy, upon faith in Jesus Christ, one is washed or regernerated by the Holy Spirit FIRST and then gets into the baptismal tub clean? (!) For what its worth, I believe that physical baptism is an act of obedience on the part of a believer to testify, by an outward expression, to a present inward reality. The mystery of God as revealed in Jesus is enough for me to contemplate. I have no desire to try to convince others to agree with my position on baptism, but these posts sure make for some interesting reading. mommapbs |
