Bible Question: This is beyond me, but would love to read some views...any takers??? |
Bible Answer: Dear Happy, As I have said, I am new to this forum. The open folder indicators seem to direct the principle question to one series of answers. Mine was meant to interject another possibility : Could baptism in the 'fuller' sense indicate that there was a progression of office in using a name ? that to baptize in the name of JC indicated a higher source that would consecrate an individual ? and that the holy spirit acted as a force rather than a personage in the application of that consecration -- esp'ly since the Grk rendering indicates an 'applied' gender, rather than gender to indicate a definite article representing a personage. Thus, in the name of JC would allow intersession between the head of the Christian congregation and the God and Father to whom thanks was being rendered ? Again, if I am using this forum incorrectly, forgive me. I would like to resolve my feelings. Thanks ! |
