Btw, where does the Bible teach that baptism:
1. Is done out of obedience?
2. Is a testimony for others?
Both statements are foreign to the Scriptures.
“Btw, where does the Bible teach that baptism:
1. Is done out of obedience?”
It is commanded of believers. If they don’t follow the command, they are not being obedient. I am not aware of any church that sneaks up on people and throws them into a baptismal pool
“2. Is a testimony for others?”
They stand in the presence of others and follow the Lord by obediently being baptized with water.
“Both statements are foreign to the Scriptures.”
