Subject: Verses where water alone means baptism? |
Bible Note: Dear Tim, The statement "The Lord himself affirms that Baptism is necessary for salvation." is based I believe on John 3:5 - which we have all discussed rather a lot lately. What are you feelings on whether John 3:22's "After this" refers to the passage vv.1-21. Jesus (or rather his disciples) baptizes following the discourse; Jesus baptising occurs nowhere else in the NT. Personally I do not think this is a coincidence.
