There's no water in that verse...Not the washing of water...It's the washing of regeneration...
>>1215 This sacrament is also called “the washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit,” for it signifies and actually brings about the birth of water and the Spirit without which no one “can enter the kingdom of God.”7
There’s no water in that verse...Not the washing of water...It’s the washing of regeneration...
The word used in Greek in Titus is lutron, which I understand actually means “bath.” So there’s your water there.
The washing of water IS the washing of regeneration; because the Holy Spirit uses the water to do so.
