Bible Question: Baptism was used in OT times, I assume for new converts for becoming a beliver as a Jew. If a non Jew became a beliver as a Jew but was bot Baptized were they considerd as saved back then? All these fime lines in the last week has stirred some gray matter seeking answers. |
Bible Answer: Baptism started with John the Baptist, there are no known person who was baptized by another! Only Naaman the Syrian, was told to wash in the Jordan and be clean. And when God flooded the earth in the days of Noah, and when the children of Israel cross the red sea and the Jordan river, these were types of baptism. |
