1 | does one need to be baptised to be saved | John 3:5 | Morant61 | 130381 | ||
Greetings Doc! Thanks for the response my friend, even if it did include a bad pun! ;-) I have no problem with your interpetation at all. I also would have no problem with seeing the phrase as a reference to physical birth. The only reason I responded was because I have read some commentaries that make it sound as though physical birth is a 'loony' option! :-) But, I think a good case can be made for it from the context. The only position I cannot accept is that the phrase refers to baptism! :-) There simply isn't any reference to baptism in this passage whatsoever. Just as a side note, have you ever wondered why the phrase 'born from above' was translated as 'born again'? :-( I never have figured that one out! Keep up the excellent work, I enjoy both your's and your wife's posts. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | does one need to be baptised to be saved | John 3:5 | DocTrinsograce | 130437 | ||
Hi, Tim... Thank you for the encouragement! I agree with you... this verse is not talking about baptism any more than Luke 17 is talking about the rapture. Sometimes people don't deliberate over a passage, but too quickly take someone else's interpretation. I know because I've done it! :-) I rather suspect the "born again" translation might have had some sort of outside influence. I wonder how the Geneva Bible translated this verse? |
