NASB | 1 John 5:6 This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 5:6 This is He who came through water and blood [His baptism and death], Jesus Christ--not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. It is the [Holy] Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. [He is the essence and origin of truth itself.] |
Subject: What does baptism consist? |
Bible Note: Things have gotten harder(different is probably a better word). Today we must believe in the Death Burial and Resurrection of Jesus. He is the "only" way to the Father. The thief did not have the priveledge of hearing the full Gospel message of the D,B and R. and that one could recieve the gift of the Holy Spirit. Remember the Spirit wasn't given until after He was glorified. One could possibly argue we are saved in a slightly different way. The Gospel is new and the chance to receive the holy spirit is new. |
