Bible Answer: Baptism as doctrine has been before Christ.It is an outward show of repentance which must have taken place in the spirit man of all believer. Paul said, “John's baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” Acts 19:3-5 having been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead. Colossians 2:11-13 and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also–not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge [ Or response] of a good conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 1 Peter 3:20-22 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. Acts 1:4-6 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:7-9 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness. Acts 4:30-32 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? Acts 10:46-48 The Holy Ghost baptism was promised to all who believed. For power and boldness as in case of peter.This was the baptism John spoke about of Jesus. John baptism is for repentance while the baptism promised by Jesus is that of the Holy Spirit as in Acts 1:8. |
