Do you see water baptism in John 3:5? I know that this is the "official" position of the UPC- but no one can show where Jesus was talking about water baptism in John 3:5. |
You are welcome. I believe that
John 3:3 & 5 bring out the necessity of baptism. Jesus even modeled the behavior as our example. I was taught that the word of God does nto contradict itself and you must take all the word applied together. If you do this then you will see no other way. From the
John 3:3 & 5, 3:16, Matt. 28:19,
Acts 2:38,
Acts 10 [forgot the verse] and many others. In ordeer to accept God's gift of salvation you must do it His way...through baptism in His name [born of the water], and the infilling of his spirit [born of the spirit aeb speaking in other tongues]. Any man or woman trying to get in any other way is a thief and a robber
