From the Apostle Peter: 1 Pet 3:18 For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit, 19through whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison 20who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water, 21and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also--not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22who has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand--with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him. Also Rom 6 and Acts 2 I acknowledge there are a few verses that are not quite as clear as these above but the point is we're taking a chance when we stand on such questionable verses. The net result of the NT as a whole very clearly gives baptism as the place where we contact the blood of Jesus through grace and faith and it's there where God washes away our sins. There's nothing in the NT more humbling than submitting to Him in baptism on His terms for the reason as stated in Acts 2:38. God bless. --Rowdy |

Since you refuse to read post 113478, I will repost it for you ............................ Scripture ... Jhn 5:24, Rom 3:28, 1Co 12:13, 2Co 3:17, Gal 3:26-27, Eph 2:8-9, Heb 11:7, 1Pe 3:18-22, 2Pe 2:5; 3:6 ... "For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, in order that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit; (19) in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, (20) who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water. (21) And corresponding to that, baptism now saves you—NOT the removal of dirt from the flesh, BUT an appeal to God for a good conscience — through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, (22) who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him," (1 Pet. 3:18-22, NASB). The key word is the Greek antitupon, "corresponding to that," NIV translates as "symbolizes," and the KJV as "like figure." 1 Peter 3:21 shows that baptism is a symbol of His death and His death does save us. Remember that Noah and family didn't get wet, those who died did. It was Noah's faith and obedience that saved him (Heb 11:7). Peter refers to the flood waters as the means of destruction of the ungodly (2 Pet 2:5; 3:6) What like is the figure? The ark in (vs 20). The water didn't save Noah's 8, nor did it remove of dirt from the flesh, unless they were outside while it was rain. Could it be that "corresponding to that" (vs 21) refers back to "safely" (vs 20)? “Not the putting away of the filth of the flesh”--not a bath, not physical water! But the answer of “what”? A good conscience toward God. Then, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. 1 Pet 3:21 talks about the conscience and says this is not about removal of dirt from the flesh. I see it is baptism by the Holy Spirit through Christ's resurrection. Does the baptism refer to water baptism, or that by the Holy Spirit (1Co 12:13, 2Co 3:17 and Gal 3:26-27)? The Holy Spirit. It is by faith alone that we are saved (Jhn 5:24, Rom 3:28, Eph 2:8-9 ... and more) Also read posts 2608 2607 --- end of repost --- Also read posts 45673 45674 |
