Those that have repented and come in faith.. have put on Christ.. this is symbolized by our baptism ....
we have heard from men and women, let’s see what the Bible says about how we become “ in Christ”
Galatians 3:27
“for as many of you
as were BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST have put on Christ.”
Romans 6:3
“do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?”
( we know at least two who didn’t know this )
finally 1 Corinthians 12:12-13
for just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. for by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body - jews or greeks, slaves or free - and all were made to drink of one Spirit.
Let God be true and every man a liar.
care to show me one Scripture where we are told baptism is “symbolic”?
