Did you ever notice that the references concerning water baptism in the following scriptures did not say, "I baptize you
in water," but rather said, "I baptize you
with water." Just thought it was interesting.
Mt 3:11* I indeed baptize you
with water unto repentance:
Mr 1:8 I indeed have baptized you
with water:
Lu 3:16* John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you
with water;
Joh 1:26* John answered them, saying, I baptize
with water:
Joh 1:33* And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize
with water,
And why did paul say this?
1Co 1:17* For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
