Bible Note: Scripture ... Mar 7:4, Luk 11:38, Act 22:16, Heb 9:10, Rev 19:13 ... God's day to you, revpete79, and welcome to the SBF, On your first point, I am pasting an old post of mine. Let me add something you may never hear from someone who grew up as a "Baptist" ... the word we translate baptize, baptism, et al may be better washing - our sins are washed away inwardly (Acts 22:16), so we need to show that our sins are washed away. Yes, I go back to the original for my support. Verses clearly shows that the word "washing" is a correct translation. Furthermore, there is no implication of dipping or immersion. For example, "tables" (Mark 7:4) are not dipped or immersed to clean them. These passages, therefore, show us that in the Bible the word "baptize" means to wash or cleanse or purify. Luke 11:38, the word "wash" is the Greek word baptizo which also ordinarily is translated as "baptize." Likewise, in Hebrews 9:10 we of divers washings. Revelation 19:13, where a derivative of the word bapto is used, as well as all of the other verses where we find the words bapto or embapto, give us no clue as to the meaning of the word "baptism." I have more. Do a serach for [bapt table divers] Searcher |
