Subject: Teacher, when were the 11 rebaptized? |
Bible Note: Greetings One! It saves you without dealing with the filth of the flesh? Isn't salvation supposed to deal with sin? Why does Peter hasten to add that it does not cleanse the filth of the flesh? Is it done to get a good conscience from God? Is it done as a response of a good conscience? Is it done as a pledge of a good conscience? Is it the water, or the resurrection of Christ which actually saves? What exactly does the word 'save' mean in this verse? Healing, deliverance, freedom from sin? I asked these questions to simply point out that there is nothing 'simple' about this verse. Most of not even sure how to translate it, let alone how to interpret it! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
