This is beauty in understanding the better promises of the new covenant from both angles.
No one has argued that baptism is a must ... as are many of the slew of commandments in the bible. Romans 6 in no way refutes the statements I've made. When we are immersed into the Spirit of Christ and his blood we receive the benefits spoken about by the writer in Hebrews.

I added your thoughts, with my responses, about baptism i nthe thread about
Acts 2:38 and the first few chapters of Acts.
However, I am saying Hebrews is teaching how the high priesthood applies to believers. I am taking Hebrews' lead here, not adding my own thoughts. What say ye about Hebrews' context in the passages I mentioined?
