Delta here's something interesting for you to ponder. Read Roman 6:3-11, there it speaks of water baptism and its symbolism.

Is the baptism spoken of in
Romans 6 that puts us into Christ, water baptism?
Or is it a work of the Spirit that happens when we believe in Jesus, of which water baptism is only a picture/figure/shadow?
Is saying that water baptism is necessary to put us into Christ confusing the shadow with the substance and trusting in the shadow/symbol/picture for salvation?
Was first century burial done by digging a hole, placing a corpse into it, and then covering completely with dirt, or was it placing a corpse in an above ground cave to allow the process of nature to take its course?
