Bible Note: Dear Kin, thank you for your evaluation as to what I know about baptism. The verse in Question and the main topic of this thread is I Corinthians 12:13 and has nothing at all to do with water. It is the indicative mood, aorist tense, passive voice, 1st. person of the verb, in the Koine Greek, EBAPTISTHEMEN and it is something, according to the passive voice, that we receive, not something we do; it is a reference to the baptism of the Holy Spirit which every believer receives at the point of salvation. Abraham wasn't under the New Covenant either, yet the thief on the cross and I were saved the same was he was. It is like you said though I will study some more, and maybe you can straighten me out later on another thread. Berakah, CDBJ |
