Is Sorensen scripture, and how much did you pay for his book?
1 Peter 3:21 says: “baptism being of the like form, now saveth you also”. You cannot be taken seriously, sorry.
No, but that makes three commentaries that have stated the view that the scripture teaches water refers to the physical birth, not baptismal regeneration.
It is a multi-volumne commentary, not a single book.
1 Peter 3:21 says: “baptism being of the like form, now saveth you also”. You cannot be taken seriously, sorry.
And what part of 'figure' do you have a hard time understanding?
What cannot be taken seriously are the Roman Catholics on these threads who cannot handle clear scripture.
You guys get totally lost when you cannot make your final appeals to some Church Father, Council of Papal decree.
By the way, Noah and his family were not saved by getting in the water.
They were saved by getting in the Ark (a type of Christ).
Those who got in the water died and that is why water represents the grave (Rom.6:3-4), in the Baptism ordinance.
Water never regenerates anyone.
