Subject: Verses where water alone means baptism? |
Bible Note: Emmaus, The debate is less about what Catholics understand baptism to be than about what they understand it to atually do. As far as I know, Protestantism has no theology of "original sin", so the relation of water to washing to being born is not clear. Do you agree? If so, could you explain original sin and its relation to baptism? Colin. |
