Bible Question: Look at Luke 7:29-30! Our Lord taught more about baptism than you know. Mark 11:27-33; John 3:3-5;Matt28:18-19. If the scribes, the elders, chief priest rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being NOT! baptized of him. Then what are you those who believe like you doing to the counsel of the Lord Jesus Christ? John 12:48-50. |
Bible Answer: Hello Grace and Truth Luke 7:29-30 and Mark 11:27-33 each speak of John's baptism (baptism of repentance) and are not pertinent. We're speaking of salvation. Matt 28:19 commands baptism, but there is nothing about a salvific effect. John 3:3-5 isn't speaking of baptism at all. This is a reference to Ezek 36:25-26. Steve |
