Leaving opinion out of the subject(if that's allowed), Jesus said He must be baptized to 'fulfill all righteousness'.
I take that to mean "it's what God wants Me to do".
As far as baptism being nothing more than our reenactment of Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection, the bible doesn't even hint at that possibility.
In the Bible, weren't Christians told, "baptism doth now save you"?
It does indeed...but then it redefines baptism, doesnt it? I dont know but would like your input on what this means.
Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you-- not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience-- through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
So is baptism that saves actually an appeal to God for a good conscience-- through the resurrection of Jesus Christ ,or is it the waters of baptism?
