Bible Question: If, has been suggested, that the reference to "water" in this verse means baptism. Do we have any other passages in scripture where the word "water" by itself means baptism? |
Bible Answer: YES, Act 10:47 Then Peter answered: Can any man forbid WATER, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Ghost, as well as we? Forbidding 'Water' is clarified as baptism in this verse. Dalcent |
