Actually, the word in Greek only meant "to immerse". It did not mean to "wash" or to "purify". When Peter said repent and be baptized, he said to repent and be immersed. The word "baptized" was a made up word, taken from baptizo.
To the Jews of that day, "baptizo" had only ONE meaning.... to be immersed in water. Any other "definition" of the word is simply trying to make the original word say what YOU want it to say.

Paul immediately arose and was baptized.... immersed. The eunuch was baptized... immersed.. in the water they came upon while riding in his chariot. All of Cornelius' household were baptized... immersed, once the Jews saw they had received the Spirit.

The only other useage of that word was sometimes people used it to describe how pickles were made... by immersing them in vinegar.
It's still IMMERSION...... not a washing, or a purifying.

I still don't get all the "shadows" you continuously talk about.... Peter's message was very plain... very simple.... repent and be immersed....

Jesus did not tell the apostles to go into all the world and purify or wash people.... he said to IMMERSE them in the name of the Father, Son, and Spirit.

Amen. ONLY THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST can wash away and purify us from our sin.

The washing of The Word is the washing and purifying of our souls which involves renewing our minds so we can know the perfect Will of God. :love:(y)

Garee, another example of your BIZARRE THEOLOGY, which actually opposes the Bible. It appears that every post of yours is simply quirky, instead of being simply biblical.

So please tell us what was in the river Jordan while John was baptizing? And he is actually called John the Baptizer (or Baptist)?

Slow down brother. BIZARRE THEOLOGY, comes with those who who try and resurrect the "abomination of desolation" . .Kings in Israel, living in temples made with human hands . The last two were destroyed. Jesus made it desolate the moment he walked out. .Mathew 23. Got rid of ugly history men walking by sight. That time period was used as parable for the then time present.. The reformation has come. Christian are the temple of God. Christ in us.

Mathew 23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

How many times is enough for a person to confess the believers are the temple of God not made with human hands? a thousand? Learn what it means to walk with faith .Then you will not be forced to carry out the lust of the flesh the lust of the eye.

:oops: That's my baby picture.;) (to cute) Humans are the living temple made without human hands .God dwells in these temples of death bringing new life from within.

Why promote building another Abomination of Desolation? The time of reformation is long gone.

If you need more clarification ask again. . thanks
