Bible Question: Is the one baptism refers to water baptism? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Angky! When we are baptised by water, we are publicly identifying ourselves as belonging in the body of Christ. I believe that the baptism of the Holy Spirit occurs at the moment of salvation, when we forsake our sinful way of life and confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. I believe that Ephesians 4:5 is speaking of water baptism, where we declare ourselves to be in unity of belief and spirit with the Body of Christ. I believe that Ephesians 4:4 is referring to the baptism of the Spirit (1 Cor. 12:11-13). Blessings to you, Makarios |
