Re: Theoretical question about baptism
Amanah, Baptism simply does NOT wash sins away. The Blood of Jesus washes sins away when a man or woman repents and asks God to forgive them - HE DOES! RIGHT THEN AND THERE!
People that put more emphasis on Water instead of the Blood and Baptism instead of Repentance - need to read the Word of God. People were repenting and God was forgiving them LONG before anybody got baptized in the Name of Jesus or any other way!
Baptism is a covenant between You and God to take on the Name of Jesus Christ and be a disciple of His. We all know there was NO WAY the thousands baptized in the early days of the NT church knew anything about any "Oneness" doctrine or the argument between being baptized in the Father, Son & Holy Ghost or in the Name of Jesus Christ. They simply were cut to the heart and wanted to identify with and follow the Lord Jesus Christ and be baptized into the body of believers. They did not get baptized to remit their sins!
