1 | Is this about water baptism at all? | Acts 2:38 | matt2122 | 77426 | ||
You're right Ray..I don't see it defined as 'water', however, I do not know if in the context of their orientation 'baptism' would presume 'water'. Do you think the verse is referring to another baptism, like in the Holy Spirit? I know I've heard alot of different takes on this over the years. Pentacostal faith believes the baptism of the Spirit of God is a separate occasion from water baptism. I, personally, do not see enough scriptural evidence to make a hard case in that direction. Good question! |

I agree with you. The language used by Peter indicates that the gift of the indwelling spirit FOLLOWS repentance and 'baptism', whatever that baptism is. It would be pretty confusing to interpret Peter's word in the following way: "Be baptized (an imperative, command) with the Holy Spirit AND you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Baptism into Christ, which is a burial with Christ (Colossians 2:12; Rom 6:3-5), when obeyed in faith, brings forgiveness. Therefore the sanctified vessel is prepared to receive the indwelling Spirit. The most likely baptism in Acts 2:38 is water baptism. Good day. |
