Bible Note: Brad, Since I assume you do not mean by your comment there is more than one way to contact the blood of Christ, the issue remains how do we know water baptism is the final step towards salvation. We, of course, have the very first instance of preaching the gospel by Peter: Acts 2:38-39 38 And Peter said to them, "Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. NAS We must be baptized into Christ. Since baptism by the Holy Spirit was only for the Apostles and the first gentiles, the only other Christian baptism mentioned in the NT is through water. Ephesians 4:4-7 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. NAS 1 Corinthians 12:13 13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. NAS Galatians 3:26-27 27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. NAS Hebrews 10:19-22 19 Since therefore, brethren, we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. NAS Acts 22:15-16 16'And now why do you delay? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.' NAS Best regards, AO |
