Bible Note: Dear Ray, Greetings in Jesus' name! You wrote, "I think that the Jeremiah 4:4 quote goes well with Matthew 3:11..." Why do you think they go well? Please look at my reply to Searcher and Nolan, and tell you what you think of a connection with all three baptisms; water, Spirit and fire. This would seem to be more consistent with your verses from Matthew. As I said, It is very difficult to 'shut out' water baptism from these verses in Colossians, due to the reference to burial and resurrection. Thanks for your input. In Christ Jesus, charis |
