So many think repentance is death, baptism is burial and Spirit infilling is resurrection. But the bible never said that. When Col 2 speaks about baptism it is clearly water, because the same thing was said about baptism in 1 Peter 3-4 and Romans 6.
Romans 6 says we're baptized into His death, not repentant into his death, for example. |
Romans 6:4-5 ...what raised Jesus up from the dead? The Glory of the Father. I propose that the Glory of the Father is the Holy Spirit, not water baptism. Just as we are to be burried with him (water baptism) we are also to be resurrected with him (spirit).
Romans 8:5-11
also a number of verses in John equate the spirit to life.
