You are in desperate need for teaching of scripture. The phrase "baptized into Christ Jesus...baptized into His death" has nothing to do with water baptism. Paul is using the expression baptizo in the same way he employed it in 1 Cor 10:2, where he spoke of the Israelites as having been "baptized into Moses." Baptized into in that sense means "identified with," "linked to." Paul says, "All of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed youself with Christ"(Gal 3:27) He's speaking of union with Christ: "The who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him" (1 Cor 6:17). Coty; in order to apply the bible to your life, you must FIRST correctly interpret the scriptures of that bible. | ||||||

Christ taught that "Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." This would indicate a physical (water) baptism and the spiritual baptism that you mention. If he had only meant spiritual baptism then he would have only mentioned spiritual baptism. The baptism of Moses was through the physical water of the Red Sea. The baptism of John was with the physical water of Jordan. The baptism of Christ is with physical water (as witnessed by Christ, his disciples and the apostles) and with spirit. Show me your faith without your baptism, and I will show you my faith by my baptism. |
