To: Mr Rogers

as RR said, there you go again.

you introduce the unbiblical term “water baptism”, as if there is an “unwater baptism”. the Scriptures only use the term baptism, because there is only one baptism.

Peter flatly says baptism now saves you. he then explains it saves you not by the washing of the outward body, but of the washing of the soul.

“the Scriptures only use the term baptism, because there is only one baptism.”

The scriptures clearly discuss Baptism in the Holy Spirit. Jesus and Jesus alone baptizes us in the Holy Spirit, and it is the Spirit that marks us as a Christian.

Water baptism IS different and distinct. It also always follows belief. It is in recognition of belief, not the cause of it.

The scriptures have been pointed out, and there are many more. What you choose to believe is between you and God, and God will judge you for it, as he will me for my beliefs.

We’ve discussed this at length before, and I have no desire to beat a dead horse. He who has ears, let him hear.
