Entrance into HIS DEATH is what baptism is about.
Fact remains we're baptized into Christ's death, and all the types in the Old Testament require a plain statement in the New that stands as it santitype.
Entrance saw destruction of the wicked.
Romans 6:6 KJV Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Colossians 2:11-12 KJV In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: (12) Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
Nope. When we read baptism SAVES that means it's part of it. I'm only quoting bible. Nothing more. It is part of what DELIVERS. Without it something is missing. |
No one is saying baptism does not represent those things in scripture, what I am saying is that is all they do, represent deliverance, and being buried, etc.
One might want to remember that the religious leaders of Christ day got all their traditions from quoting OT scripture too, yet Christ told them that was all they were "traditions of men".
