1 | being baptized | Matt 3:6 | Emmaus | 118319 | ||
Ken, Why was Paul baptized according to Acts 22:16? Was that particular baptism a rite of the religion of Israel; being baptized by a NT, post Resurrection, post Pentecost disciple of Jesus? Below is a list of NT verse where the Holy Spirit and water are linked. Just something to think about since this ground has been worked over so much. Matt 3:16 After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him, Matt 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, Matt 28:20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Acts 10:38 "You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. John 3:22 After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He was spending time with them and baptizing Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:41 So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls. Acts 9:17 So Ananias departed and entered the house, and after laying his hands on him said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit." Acts 22:16 'Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.' Acts 9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he regained his sight, and he got up and was baptized Acts 10:37 you yourselves know the thing which took place throughout all Judea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed. Acts 10:38 "You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. Acts 10:47 "Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?" Acts 10:48 And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days. Acts 11:16 "And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He used to say, 'John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.' Acts 16:15 And when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay." And she prevailed upon us. Acts 16:33 And he took them that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household. Emmaus |

Emmaus, I am not saying that Paul was not baptised in water as a Jew. Paul was not sent to baptise but to preach the gospel. Baptism in water is the religion of Israel and not really essential for believers today. Paul was sent as the Apostle of Grace, in which age we are now living, so our baptism is by the Holy Spirit. What was said by Jesus and His twelve disciples regarding water baptism was intended for the Nation Israel and not to believers today. Ken. |

Ken, My point is that Paul was not "baptized in water as a Jew", but rather that like even Gentile belivers he was "baptized into Christ" (Romans 6). Baptism into Christ is a Christian rite, not a Jewish. Ask any Jew. There are many Jewish antecedents to Christian practices, but they are peculiarly Christian in their meaning and purpose in the Christian context. Thay all relate to Christ, whom non-believing Jews then and now reject along with the Christian rites regardless of their Jewish antecedents. baptism is the circumcision of Christ". Phil 3:3 for we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh, Col 2:11 and in Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ; Col 2:12 having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. Col 2:13 When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, Baptsim is the "working of God".

Emmaus, My sincere apologies I completely misread what you had written and agree that Paul was baptized in Christ (Rom 6:3KJV)"Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?" Baptism is the working of God as you have stated. Do you agree that there is no importance to water baptism in this age of Grace ? Ken. |

Ken "Do you agree that there is no importance to water baptism in this age of Grace ? " No, I do not agree. I believe that baptism is an intrumental means of grace. I believe that Paul was baptized into Christ in this age of grace and that the very fact that Christ commanded baptism in the great commission and spoke of its necessity in John 3:5 (this interpertation of John 3:5 is an article of faith for Catholics)in and of itself must mean that baptism is important rather than having "no importance." Here are several of my previous posts on the subject and below the post numbers is a link that explains in great detail where I am coming from. 76663 84282 92173 93194 98259 110267 http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p2s2c1a1.htm Emmaus |
