1 | How Does Baptism Save? | 1 Pet 3:21 | sniper | 78336 | ||
Do I detect humor? That is actually funny, good answer. I am not sure if there is any theology in that or not. Don't be so literal. The eight were brought safely through the water and baptism corresponds to that (type/antitype-the idea is that one is a shadow of the other not that they are exactly the same). |

Wow ... if I am not to be literal, am I do be figurative? I doubt there is something between ... but maybe you go through the middle. I only am figurative, when the literal does not make sense. To me it make sense to take may view on Noah's 8 and the Israelites. Why wouldn't you be so literal in this passage? Searcher |

I explained. Type/antitype. Shadow of the real thing. Reading the passge literally and understanding the type/antitype relationship will give a proper understanding. | ||||||

Go back to post # 77597 ... In part ... "Corresponding to" or "symbolizes" (NIV) or "like figure" (KJV) is the Greek word antitupon. It means copy, a thing formed after some pattern, a thing resembling another, its counterpart. Baptism is a copy of or corresponds to something else. What is it? We need to look at the context. I see two choices - the flood or the ark? Which saved Noah and his family? It was the ark. -- Does the baptism have to be water baptism, or can it be being baptized by the Spirit? Remember Noah's 8 didn't get wet. |

True, Noah did not get wet. Noah was brought safely through the water though, and that is where the similarity is. God bless and have a good weekend:) |
