First of all, no apostle believed it as you said and for example, can you ever imagine that the criminal on the cross, who received from Jesus the forgiveness for all his sins, without being baptized is lost? Think about that seriously and you'll have your answer. | ||||||

No, you missed the point, citing that text. It is a reference to Ezechiel 36.25-27. Do not forget that He was talking to a doctor of the Law, Nicodemus and it is for this reason that He made the remark. Nicodemus, being a doctor of the Law (Old Testament) was supposed to be well informed of this prophecy. No, my friend, water is not an allusion to baptism here in that text. | ||||||

Hey, rick 01 i went to the pages of ezekiel and i understand he was talking to a doctor of law. But Jesus specifically said "Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of god" i dont see no way around that no matter to who he was talking to. He said "ye must be born again" Can you give me another meaning for born again or the point he is trying to make? thanks |

Ok, keep in mind that because he is talking to a man who had not New Testament in his hands it is logical that he referred to a concept that was known to him, because he said: "You are a doctor of the law and you don't know that? So, it is to be clear that the new birth was prophecied, but in other terms that was supposed to be understood to a man like Nicodemus. This is for this reason that not only he said born again, but he (Jesus) added born of water and spirit. These last two terms were those known by the Old Testament teacher as him. You must grasp the context and the connection to understand the passage, otherwise the criminal on the cross would not have any chance to be saved, because not baptism for him. Ponder on it my friend. | ||||||

Hello Rick_01 I agree with you that John 3 is tied to Ezek 36. To me, it's obvious. Steve |
