1 | Baptism-What Does the Bible Teach? | Acts 2:38 | BradK | 133384 | ||
Rowdy, It is not my attempt to argue your point on this matter. You appear to be saying something scripture doesn't say by your "better safe than sorry" approach as endorsed by our Lord with his parable about cutting off a hand or gouging out an eye". The context (in Matt 5:29-30) is dealing with personal relationships and specifically adultery. Where does Christ "endorse" this better-safe-than-sorry approach? I don't see baptism at issue here. Lastly, what of Galatians 5:2, "Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

2 | Baptism-What Does the Bible Teach? | Acts 2:38 | Rowdy | 133429 | ||
I almost forgot you didn't thoroughly address the obvious connection between circumcision and baptism. Before you dismiss me completely, think about what I'm saying. We're discussing two different dispensations: in the Jewish era dominated by the Law of Moses, there were provisions for allowing foreigners into God's family and that process included the men being circumcised. In the same vein, the process for allowing us Gentiles into God's family in this era includes baptism. In both eras, a person was NOT considered a actual legitimate member of God's family until he completed the whole process. Please respond to the logic of my argument here along with the other points of my earlier posts. I appreciate it and look forward to continuing our discussion. God bless. Rowdy |
