Subject: Verses where water alone means baptism? |
Bible Note: Tim, In Catholic theology original sin is distinct from the sins of the flesh. Catholics view baptism as a sacrament (in that it effects what it symbolizes) that washes us clean of the former; the latter remains for us to struggle against with self-examination and confession. That struggle is integral to our sanctification. Interesting. Colin |
