1 | Is this about water baptism at all? | Acts 2:38 | sniper | 77374 | ||
justme, If water baptism is openly confessing Christ before men, then why do we see examples of baptism when surely few or none were present? The Ethiopian Eunuch was in the middle of the desert alone with Philip. The Philippian jailor and his household were baptized immediately after hearing the message in the middle of the night. When Ananias came to Saul, who had been blind and fasting for three days, he told him to go without delay and be baptized. And, Peter in I Peter 3:21 clearly states that baptism is an appeal to God for a clean conscience - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Please do not think that I do not understand your position. I am the son of a Baptist preacher who has a 4 yr BS degree from a Baptist college. I was taught your position every which way, and I followed it for many years. God bless, sniper |

Sniper: Thanks for replying. You bring a very interesting point to the dialogue. Perhaps, if the only living human to see your confession in baptism is the one doing the baptizing. Then again what if theoritacally some one had no one to baptize them and they went under the water themselves? I doubt that would happen but it's a thought. I too went to a baptist college and seminary, and we need to look at how others may think. No one has it all perfect. I sure don't think I've got it all worked out by a long shot. Thanks for your input. Peace and blessings. justme |
