Me-
Baptize means water???
You are the one who said water means baptize...And that is your proof that being born again includes baptism since the word water is in there...
Joh_3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
And now here you are back-peddling claiming water does not mean baptism...
You-
Er... no. Baptize means "baptize" (Gk: baptizein = "immerse, dip in water"); it's done WITH water. Just like "shower" doesn't mean "water"--it means "having water fall all over you, for the purpose of cleaning your body". Is this seriously new to you?
And being 'born' has nothing to do with baptism...'Born' is not baptism...
So now you clearly admit that there is no evidence of baptism in John 3:5...
And if scripture means anything to you at all, consider this:
Act 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
What it DOES NOT say is that the Holy Ghost will baptize you with water...
In one instance we are baptized (immersed) into water...In the other instance we are baptized (immersed) into the Holy Ghost (no water)...
Every time it says baptize/baptism in the scripture is no indication that water is always present...
'Born again' is the result of being baptized into the Holy Ghost...
