Subject: Water baptism the "one baptism"? |
Bible Note: Dear Searcher, The Holy Spirit baptism was a sign to the Jews. When Peter and the others saw the sign, then they sought to water baptize the household. If a person is not baptized for the right reason, as in the case at Ephesus (Acts 19), then they should be 're-baptized.' They were immersed once in John's baptism, but John's wasn't associated with receiving the indwelling spirit ['and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, Acts 2:38], so they needed to be baptized again 'in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.' God bless you, Disciplerami |
