Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
Baptism is not to be trifled with.
“Baptism is not to be trifled with.”
Very true. But so often we wash the dirt off ourselves only to become dirty again. We must constantly wash ourselves again and again, daily until we are “Baptized by the Spirit.” Only that baptism will clean the soul as the water is somewhat limited to cleaning the flesh.
