Subject: baptismal regeneration - true or false |
Bible Note: Apollos "knew only the baptism of John." 'He taught about Jesus accurately in Ephesus.' Twelve men in Ephesus were baptized in "John's baptism." "They were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus" and received holy spirit only afterwards! (Acts 18:24-26; 19:1-7) 1 Peter 3:21 states: 'Baptism saves you.' Its a "search for a good conscience" toward God. (TCNT) Clearly, then, the baptism must be valid and the good conscience maintained. (Matthew 3:1-8; 24:13) Stokeyhk. |
