1 | Baptism in the Old Testament times? | Acts 2:41 | justme | 50847 | ||
Baptism was used in OT times, I assume for new converts for becoming a beliver as a Jew. If a non Jew became a beliver as a Jew but was bot Baptized were they considerd as saved back then? All these fime lines in the last week has stirred some gray matter seeking answers. | ||||||

You wrote: "Baptism was used in OT times, I assume for new converts for becoming a beliver as a Jew." Not exactly. To become a full participant in the covenant, males had to be circumcised. Baptism arose in the inter-Testamental period as a means of a secondary type of membership, but I am not nearly knowledgeable enough of that to go into any detail at all. Jews and non-Jews alike were baptized upon professing faith in Christ. It wasn't a question of "when should I be baptized?" All converts to Christianity were baptized, so there would be no notion of a "non Jew [who] became a beliver as a Jew but was bot Baptized." --Joe! |
