AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one [Holy] Spirit we were all baptized into one body, [spiritually transformed--united together] whether Jews or Greeks (Gentiles), slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one [Holy] Spirit [since the same Holy Spirit fills each life]. [Rom 3:22; Gal 3:28] |
Subject: Have you been baptized right? |
Bible Note: Let me argue with something in your post: Among the options cited: "(1) The baptism referred to here is physical only, and eij" has the meaning of “for” or “unto.” Such a view suggests that salvation is based on works—an idea that runs counter to the theology of Acts, namely" Wrong. "Such a view" DOES NOT suggests that salvation is based on works. Also, the Greek word EIS, is always prospective, never retrospective. The english "because" does not accurately depict the direction of EIS. "salvation is entirely a gift of God, not procured via water baptism (Acts 10:43 [cf. v. 47]; 13:38-39, 48; 15:11; 16:30-31; 20:21; 26:18);" No doubt, salvation is a gift, but it is received at the point of baptism. Give God the glory! |
