Tit 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
There is no water there...We are washed by regeneration, not water...
There is no water there...We are washed by regeneration, not water...
The word in Greek is lutrou, which means bath. Titus literally says “bath of regeneration.” Sounds like water to me (and the Church, too - it’s always been understood as a reference to baptism).
