1 | Can we stop preaching baptism? | John 3:5 | NLightNMe | 54386 | ||
Mcgracer, you did make your statement more clear to me, I agree that we need to teach what baptism REALLY means. However, I still believe that baptism is necessary for salvation, Mark 16:16 and Acts 2:38 makes this very clear. I know that water baptism itself does not save us, but it is a means by which we shall be saved. I recognize that there is a spiritual baptism and a water baptism. It is clear that both are necessary. There were instances in the bible where men were already spiritually baptised and they were commanded to be water baptised (Acts 10:46-48). Why would they receive a commandment to be water baptised in the name of the Lord if it was just ok for them to be spiritually baptised? I believe that the two go hand in hand. | ||||||
2 | Concerning the baptism topic.... | John 3:5 | NLightNMe | 53398 | ||
Why would Jesus specify that no one can enter into the Kingdom of God without being born physically? Isn't that obvious. What purpose would he have for stating that unless you are born or exist, then you can't see the Kingdom of God. That does not make sense to me. I believe that John 3:5 was referring to water baptism. The bible speaks on a new birth. That birth is the process by which we become dead to our sins through baptism (immersion, buried in water) and then when we are raised out of the water (ressurection) we are a new creature (2 Corinthians 5: 16-18). | ||||||
