Bible Answer: The word water at John 3:5, has nothing to do with Baptism, it refers to amniotic fluid, and therefore physical birth, as opposed to Spiritual birth. In case there is any doubt as to what was intended to be undrestood, then verse 6 makes this clear, as it repeats verse 5, but uses the word flesh in place of water. Water Baptism follows Spiritual re-birth, it does not preceed it as is made clear at Acts 2:38, Please do not put the cart before the horse. |
