Titus 3:5 is talking about how the Spirit regenerates and renews. Certainly you are not a baptismal regenerist are you?
Also, regarding the Ephesians passage, are you suggesting that water baptism sanctifies us? |
Water is water baptism and regeneration is Spirit baptism. It's a combination work written there. Water baptism and spirit baptism are considered as accompanying words to sanctify not one on its own in this context.
