Numerical Growth Is Not A Sign Of Revival...

Oh common Mike, where do you think baptism originated from?

Where does the bible say baptism originated from Mikvah? Show me one verse in the New Testament, as there are several about forbiddance against fornication being carried over in the new covenant from the old, in regards to baptism.

I am saying baptism is something entirely new BECAUSE IT PUTS US INTO THE DEATH OF JESUS. So, I asked you what in the mikvah corresponds to putting us into Christ's death?

Do you think John came on the seen demanding baptism if they did not already know about baptism?

Yes!

When John came preaching repentance and baptism, baptism was not a new thing. It was derived from the Mikvah washings of the law.

Again, how is baptism into Christ's DEATH similar in any way to mikvah? You never refer to Romans 6:3 which is the highlight of the entire concept of baptism int he New Testament.

Once, again please answer my question.
