Subject: Is this |
Bible Note: When interpreting scripture we have to look at the usage of the word in the context of its day. When Jesus and His disciples spoke of baptism they understood this to be immersion in WATER. There is no evidence that this was ever anything else. In addition baptism is not something you do but something you allow to be done to you. You baptise others or are baptised by someone else. Jesus told his disciples to BAPTISE those to whom they taught the gospel. How could they do this with the Spirit? Clearly, however, this can and was done with water. Tim |
