Subject: Concerning the baptism topic.... |
Bible Note: Why would Jesus specify that no one can enter into the Kingdom of God without being born physically? Isn't that obvious. What purpose would he have for stating that unless you are born or exist, then you can't see the Kingdom of God. That does not make sense to me. I believe that John 3:5 was referring to water baptism. The bible speaks on a new birth. That birth is the process by which we become dead to our sins through baptism (immersion, buried in water) and then when we are raised out of the water (ressurection) we are a new creature (2 Corinthians 5: 16-18). |
