Bible Question:
When did God change the "mode" of baptism today from what it was in Moses’ day, and John the Baptist’s day? Seeing immersion (mikvah) still hasn’t changed for the Jews since it was instituted about the time of their exodus from Egypt. |
Bible Answer: Taleb - Without wanting to enter into the fracas about baptism I would like some clarification from you. It is my understanding that baptism was used in the Old Testament when one outside of Israel wanted to follow Jehovah; is this correct? If so, did the physical action of baptism make one an Israelite? In other words, if you took a white cloth and dipped it in red dye, what kind of cloth is it white or red? What was the purpose of baptism - has it changed? Thanks for considering my questions. mommapbs |
