Bible Question: Which one is the correct way of baptism?some say pass under a flag, some say lets springle you,some baptise seven times, some three times,some once.Here are some of the scriptures that talks about baptism,Acts 2vs37-40,Acts 19vs1-6,Matthew 28vs19-20,colossians 3vs17.Matthew 3vs3-17,Mark 1-4,Acts 8vs14-17. |
Bible Answer: Not one of these scriptures says to be baptized more than once by water and every one is baptized automatically by the spirit, see Ephesians 1:13,14 for proof. The idea of infant batism stems from the erroneous belief that people get saved by the act of baptism apart from first believing in Christ (Methodist, Presbyterians)because of Acts 2:38 where it says to repent and be baptized for forgiveness of sins. So they believe that the act of Baptism does the trick rather than a true profession of faith in Chrsit. The idea of full immersion stems from dying down into the grave like Jesus and coming up out of the grave and rising from the dead like Jesus and usually the words, "baptized into the death and resurrection of Jesus" are used at a full immersion baptism. Kinda hard to go down into death while you get sprinkled... And kinda strange that getting sprinkled could have the power to save without going down into death fully and rising from the dead fully, which is one reason why the Church of Christ refuses to baptize young children(besides that children can't confess Christ which they do believe has preliminary power leading to salvation by baptism), but they do believe the dunk in the water does the saving... |
