1 | Yet another baptism question! | Col 2:12 | Huron | 131698 | ||
This is a cross reference from Romans 6:4. Now in Romans chapter 6 he is talking about sanctification. Here in Colossians chapter two, Paul doesn't appear to be when you look at this verse and include up to verse 14. My hunch is that baptism doesn't provide justification, but this verse does seem to point at justification. Secondly, how can you tell when the word baptism means "with water", and when it means "with the Holy Spirit". I appreciate all views on this, whether you agree with me or not. Regards, Huron |

2 | Yet another baptism question! | Col 2:12 | Praise Be To God | 131782 | ||
We were justified at Calvary, by Jesus' death on the cross. Baptism is an outward show that we, as Believers, make to God and to the world to say that our "old man" has died with Christ, and we are raised to life again together with Christ. The way you can tell whether the word "baptism" means with water or with the Holy Spirit, is to look at how the verse(s) read(s). For example, Acts 19 is obviously talking about the Holy Spirit. |
