Water baptism.
Baptists love to divide baptism into sub categories so as to explain away its significance unto Salvation.
Eph. 4:4-6 should correct that silly notion.
“Baptists love to divide baptism into sub categories so as to explain away its significance unto Salvation.”
Ummm...have you ever read of being baptized in the Holy Spirit? Have you read that Jesus never baptized anyone in water?
What does anyone expect to gain by baptizing an infant? Should we go into prisons, and forcibly baptize prisoners so the prisoners will all convert and be saved?
” There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.”
Yes - there is only One Spirit, and only one baptism that saves us - and it is NOT water baptism. If you have not been united to Christ, then water baptism is simply a rinsing of the flesh. God is not a genie, and salvation isn’t about magical rites.
“This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?”
Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
