Each of my six children were baptized when they came of age - repented of their sins, accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior and professed their faith in him.No argument from me. But I'm pretty sure those who do argue it are indeed baptized and have their children baptized.
Baptism is a rite of passage, marking the Christian's change in their life in obedience to God.Matthew's gospel ends with what many people call the great commission which reads as follows:
Matthew 28:16-20 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. (17) When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted. (18) And Jesus came and said to them, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. (19) Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (20) and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.'So, what does baptism do? It seems to be associated with making disciples. And after baptism comes teaching, or so it seems.
I place very little emphasis that circumcision has anything in actuality to do with Baptism. I don't see promises attached to circumcision as I do baptism. The similarity would be both recipients of circumcision and baptism are in a passive state.But our topic is baptism and even though circumcision has a relationship with baptism it is nevertheless not baptism.
Chapter and Verse please.Baptism is a rite of passage, marking the Christian's change in their life in obedience to God.
Chapter and verse please.Basically it's a self-delaration under witness that one chooses to follow Jesus Christ, or a self-nomination to be under the New Covenant.
And in 1 Cor 1:14 the HOLY SPIRIT says of Paul that I BAPRIZED none f you , EXCEPT Crispus and GAIUS .The question still is: What "Baptism" did Paul do for a few people but not a lot of people?
Chapter and verse please.
Non responsive.A summary throughout the Bible. Provide contradiction verse please.
So are you!Non responsive.
Have you ever wondered that Matt 28:19 does NEVER say WATER // HUDOR , BAPTISM ?Baptism in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
How will you explain Rom 6:3 that reads , Or are you IGNORANT , that as many were BAPITZED into Christ Jesus , were BAPTIZED into his DEATH !!Scholars and even those who know Greek do not have an issue for the word "water" not being used all the time. Baptism means immersion in something: the cloud and water on the sides when the Jews went through the Red Sea, the immense rain and flood around Noah's Arch, the water Jesus went down into and came out of when John the Baptist Baptized Him, the water the Eunuch went down into to be baptized and the Spirit on Pentecost.
Which "baptisms" are you saying Paul did do for a few people and avoid doing for others in Corinth (but obviously could have since he did for some)?
Did Matthew write his gospel in Greek?Have you ever wondered that Matt 28:19 does NEVER say WATER // HUDOR , BAPTISM ?
Wow! I guess my terse statement asking for a source for baptism being a "self-declaration" or a "self-nomination" was taken wrongly as intended.So are you!

What do baptism do?
Question: for those who believe in infant baptism and that Baptisim is the entrance to salvation.
If this is correct: is everyone who is baptized as an infant saved?
And how does an infant repent?
Water Baptism is the Sacrament of New Birth in Christ without which we cannot be saved.
Jesus was baptised, let's not read "immersed" into the narrative.Let me ask again,.... Jesus was water immersed, what did it do for Him?
The Greek word is properly defined as "immersed, cleansed, dipped." I don't use a transliterated Greek word that might hide the proper meaning.Jesus was baptised, let's not read "immersed" into the narrative.
The effect was
- Fulfilling all righteousness
- Heaven opened and the Holy Spirit descended
- The Father gave witness that Jesus is his Son in whom he was well pleased.
