You still can't see it or you just don't want to see it?
Jn 3:5-----------------water
John 4:10,14-------------water
1Cor12:13------------baptized
By
one Spirit -----------baptized into
one body, not by H20. Matthew 3:11 - I
baptize you with
water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He will *
baptize you with the Holy Spirit* and fire.
Tts 3:5------------washing of regeneration
This is spiritual washing/purification of the soul, accomplished by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God at the moment of salvation. Plain ordinary H20 has no power to regenerate man. You are confusing the symbol with the reality.
Eph 5:26-----------washing of water
Washing of water by the Word. What water is that? (John 4:10,14; 7:38,39). Water baptism is not the only "water" mentioned in Scripture.
When comparing these 4 verses that all deal with the new birth, you cannot see (refuse to see) how water is made equivalent to baptized that is made equivalent to washing of regeneration that is made equivalent to washing of water?
When comparing these 4 verses that all deal with the new birth, you still cannot see (refuse to see) how
living water is made equivalent
Spirit baptism, that is made equivalent to washing of regeneration/
spiritual washing/purification of the soul that is made equivalent to washing of water
by the word.
Jesus clearly stated in John 4:10 - If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a
drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you
living water. Compare with 1 Corinthians 12:13 -
..drink into one Spirit.
John 4:14 - but whoever
drinks of the
water that I will give him shall
never thirst; but the
water that I will give him will become in him a
well of water springing up to eternal life. Living water is not water baptism. So where does living water fit into your theology or is it simply ignored?
