Subject: Water, baptism and John 3:5/Titus 3:5 |
Bible Note: I have to agree with you on the main point of remaining silent where the Bible is silent and speaking up as the Bible speaks. Thanks for the reminder. As a matter of thoroughness, I neglected to address Mr. Huron's other question. I do think the birth of water and the Spirit are the same and not different. Being born again in a watery grave through baptism is exactly what Paul is talking about in Rom 6 but this is a process that is being executed by the executor of the Lord's last will and testament, the Holy Spirt. So you see, it really is one baptism, one birth in water and in Spirit. God bless. |
