No, I havn't read the whole thread, but to deny that Jesus was speaking about baptism in John 3 is an argument ad ignorantia IMHO.... (TIC)
Too bad I didn't get in on the discussion though... |
Why would Jesus be preaching something to Nicodemus that couldn't happen to him? Peter didn't preach Baptism and the Holy Ghost was not poured out until later. Just doesn't make sense to preach something that was not available to the person you are preaching to.
I take
John 3:5 to mean that every man must be born of the water and the spirit, not just those after Pentecost.
