AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 3:6 and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, as they confessed their sins. |
Subject: being baptized |
Bible Note: Emmaus, I am not saying that Paul was not baptised in water as a Jew. Paul was not sent to baptise but to preach the gospel. Baptism in water is the religion of Israel and not really essential for believers today. Paul was sent as the Apostle of Grace, in which age we are now living, so our baptism is by the Holy Spirit. What was said by Jesus and His twelve disciples regarding water baptism was intended for the Nation Israel and not to believers today. Ken. |
