Bible Question: IN CHAPTER 3 JESUS SAID THAT EXCEPT YOU BE BORN OF WATER AND SPIRIT, YOU MAY NOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. JESUS SAID THIS, SO THE CONTENT SHOWED THAT HE IS NOT TALKING ABOUT WATER BAPTISM, BECAUSE WATER BAPTISM IS A SYMBOL CREATED BY MAN(PHYSICAL REALM). |
Bible Answer: First JESUS didn't say you may not enter but you can not enter.To the question water baptism is not a symbol created by man.That is why when the pharisees and others remained silent when JESUS asked them whether the baptism of John was from GOd or men for they knew the truth. Jesus HIMSELF was baptized in water and it doesn't mean HE adhered to the traditions of men. However water in the bible can mean the word of GOD and the spirit in this case THE SPIRIT OF GOD.But water baptism is important as a sign of public confession of christianity. mobisa |
