Interesting that one confessing the so-called believer baptism would not recognize one when he sees one.
So now omniscience is not a unique attribute of God? Angels have it as well???
He announced to Mary that WHICH WOULD BE because it had been ordained before the foundation of the world. There was no question of its accuracy.So how could that be so sure if Mary had the free will to say no?
But God's irresistible grace had preceded that announcement, her will had been changed by that grace and now her will was aligned with Gods.
Mary, however, did consent, as the Bible teaches us, in verse 38 of the scripture you quoted.
She acknowledged her agreement with the plan because God had ordained it to be so. The agreement was not an independent act for which Mary is due accolades. The agreement was an act of Gods grace in her for which He should get glory.. not her.

So now you are calling this a baptism? Why would Mary need to be baptized you do no believe she had original sin right?
