1 | Is this | Rom 6:3 | cjjeep | 80 | ||
Yes, this refers to water baptism. Read the conversion of the Ethiopian in Acts 8:26-39. Notice the reference to baptism and water in verses 36-39. Not only was water involved, but it's apparent that the Ethiopian was immersed in the water. If sprinkled, why did they go down into and come up out of the water? Also, referring back to Romans 6, you must be buried with Christ in baptism in order that you might be resurrected with him. This implies being covered by water and, when coming up out of the water, being resurrected a new creation. | ||||||

Acts is one of the books of the Bible where the author does not specifically tell us his name. But by comparing scripture with scripture, we can see that Luke is the author of Acts. First we will look at the Gospel account of Luke. We know that Luke was written by Luke. In verse 1:3 of the book, Luke says, "It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto theee in order, most excellent Theophilus" (KJV) Luke wrote this book to a man named Theophilus. In verse 1:1 of acts the author says, "The former treatise have I amde, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach." So here we see that Theophilus has two books written to him, The Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. So the author of Acts says that he has written another letter to Theophilus. He also says that this letter tells of all that Jesus began both to do and to teach. Since Luke was written to Theophilus and tells us about Jesus, we can see that Luke is the author of Acts. | ||||||
