Subject: MARK 16:16: Was it perverted? |
Bible Note: George how do you explain 1 Peter 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: ??? When we are baptized we are buried with Jesus. Romans 6:3 Without baptism that dead old man that died in REPENTANCE starts to stink. I like to think of it as a child who goes outside and gets covered in mud. He can wipe the mud off but he is not clean until he gets in the water. When we repent we should be ready to get that sin off of our life. And that is what baptism does. It washes away our sins. Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. Baptism is immersion in water. Acts 8:36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? Where is the scripture that says that Baptism #1 does not save us. and #2 that it is a sign for man? BTW maybe you should heed your own advice about 1 Timothy 2:15 AND 16 It is very important to read verse 16 too. |
