Subject: being baptized |
Bible Note: Rex: Thank you for pointing out that what saves us is not "a removal of dirt from the body", but "an appeal to God for a good conscience". And, as you have reminded us, we are not baptized INTO the Holy Spirit. Instead we are baptized BY the Holy Spirit INTO the body of Christ when we are born again. NASB 1 Corinthians 12:13 "For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit." "Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His" ( does not belong to Him) Romans 8:9b. My prayer is that God will bless you and guard you while you are serving in the military in Afghanistan. As a war veteran myself, I have the greatest appreciation of and respect for you and your service to our country. Grace and shalom, kalos |
