1 | why is baptism important | 2 Cor 5:17 | Makarios | 22511 | ||
Greetings again Tim, Ephesians 4:5 is another interesting verse... True, the "one baptism" spoken of in verse 5 probably refers to the water baptism following salvation, which is a believer's public confession of faith in Jesus Christ. Spiritual baptism, by which all believers are placed into the body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:11-13) is implied in verse 4. Grace to you, Nolan |

No it is not. Now you are adding ANOTHER baptism. This brings the count up to 2 which does not equal 1. At least not in any school I ever attended. Tim |

Eph_4:5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism Eph 4 is speaking of unity in the Church. Verse 5 is talking about the ties that bind us together. "One baptism" can not mean that only one baptism in number exist, but rather is speaking of something believers have in common. We share in the same Lord. We share in the same faith. We share in the same baptism (spiritual, not water in my opinion) . Even if one views this passage as speaking of water baptism, I can't see one in number being a valid interpretation in either context or when we compare with other passages that clearly define more than one baptism. More than 1 baptism has and does exist. Act_1:5, Heb_6:2 (note: BAPTISMS, i.e. more than 1) retxar |
