Bible Note: It is important when reading the Bible, not to read into it what is not there. There is no reference in John 3:5 to baptism. Remember, Jesus was talking to Nicodemus, a religious ruler. In answer to his question Jesus compares physical birth with spiritual birth. He shows that the action of the Spirit is not physical and that EVERYONE who believe in Him is saved. There is no mention of baptism anywhere in the chapter. Baptism was and is the evidence of the new birth. |
