Subject: Water, baptism and John 3:5/Titus 3:5 |
Bible Note: Greetings Huron, I'd like to offer another perspctive on 1 John 5:8. Since Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our faith, how can baptism "save?" If it is ALL from Him, then the Spirit, the water and the blood must be too. "But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out." John 19: 34 Could this be the "water" that we have most usually associated with baptism? Chew on this too. Blessings, mommapbs |
