To: one Lord one faith one baptism

Ah, you keep making the same claims over and over and over. They remain wrong.

You’ve attempted to use an invisible baby as a prop.
You’ve attempted to make this about anabaptists as a distraction.
You’ve attempted to claim Apostolic tradition as a source, without Apostolic action, nor evidence in Scripture of a command.

I’ll stop there.

“This is totally unscriptural as the Bible is clear there is only ONE baptism, just as there there is only ONE LORD and only ONE FAITH.”

There is just One Lord Jesus.
There is one faith that unites all believers of all time in this Savior.
There is one baptism in/with/by the Spirit that places every believer in Christ into the Body of Christ.

Water baptism is an outward expression of this inward reality.

I an only assume your study of the Scriptures has been limited up to this point.

I wish you the best. Be like the Bereans and continue to study to show yourself approved.

Water baptism is an outward expression of an inward reality.

Wrong wrong wrong.

I notice no Scriptures are ever cited for these assertions.

Clearly the bible never uses the term “water baptism”. That should be the first clue a man made tradition is being taught.

Baptism is for the remission of sins. Acts 2:38, 22:16, Ephesians 5:26, Titus 3:5 among many other passages.
Baptism is for receiving the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38, 1 Corinthians 6:11 among others.
Baptism is for being placed into Christ. Romans 6:3.

We will just get crickets from those who teach:

Water baptism.......????
Spirit baptism........???
Baptism for obedience........????
Baptism as symbolic.........????
Baptism as a public testimony........???
Baptism as an outward sign of the salvation which has already taken place.....?????

No one saw any of these things in the Bible for 1,500 years for a very good reason............they aren’t there!
