hebrews 6v2

[cyberlizard]

1Therefore, leaving behind the elementary teachings about the Messiah, let us continue to be carried along to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, faith toward God, 2instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3And this we will do,e if God permits.



please can people not resort to quoting other authors and commentaries....

what do you all make of the term 'baptisms' (which is in the plural in greek). Why is it in the plural, and to what do these baptisms refer???

Luke 3:

15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;

16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and (or) with fire:

17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.

There are three possibilities:

Firstly, it is possible the author is referring to instruction on both water baptism and spiritual baptism.

Secondly, it is possible the author used the plural because the church performs such an abundance of baptisms as part of its normative ministry.

Thirdly, it is possible that translations like the NASB or CSB are correct to interpret [FONT=Symbol, serif]baptismwn [/FONT]as "washings". Thus the ordinance is not in view. This position is thoroughly reasonable, given that [FONT=Symbol, serif]baptizw [/FONT]literally means "I plunge".

If you're asking, I hold to the third position.

Unknown. I did not embolden the word in my original.

How baptism is to be done. Why it was done. The teachings of baptisms. Who got it done.

There were the PreRunner of immersions in the Sacrificial law times, there were John the Baptist, and there were of the Apostles s directed by Christ FOR the remisssion of Sins.

of immersions

a foundations we all shall do...

and beware, least you backslide and become a thistle to be burned in the end.


The word is also here:

Hebrews
9 10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

& Here

Mark
7 4 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.
...
8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

Commandments of men vs those of True God of the Bible. Choose this day whom you will serve.
