There is only one baptism required to be saved, and its not getting dunked in water, yes water baptism is what a saved and cleansed person through repentance WILL do, but in no way does it remove sins, Jesus does, as His blood is for the remissions of sins, but we have our part to do in this matter:
For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter. 2Cor7:10-11
What Exactly did this Repentance Produce and HOW did it WORK?
It Produced:
1)Diligence and Zeal in the People Repenting
2)A Clearing of the Wrong Doing
3)Godly Fear and Reverence
4)Vehement Desire, with Zeal to DO what was Right!
It PROVED Them to be CLEAR in all things concerning the matter!
Thus the Biblical PROCESS of True Repentance! THE CLEANING Happens HERE, Not Afterward!
Note the Following Words:
Clearing: Apologia (Eng., "apology"), "a defense against an accusation," signifies, in 2 Cor. 7:11, a clearing of oneself.
Clear: pure, pure from carnality, chaste, modest, pure from every fault, immaculate, clean. Translated Pure in other passages.
The Pastors are WRONG! The Clean up DOES NOT Happen later, as they have all stated, but in the PROCESS of Repentance. In Fact, This is where the PURITY of Heart is derived the Bible Speaks of in Many Passages as the PURPOSE of the Commandment. (1Tim1:5)
If the Wrong Doing is made PURE, as this Passage Proven, by Repentance, then the Old man must ALSO be IMMEDIATELY Put to Death during this Process. WHICH Scripture also PROVES in Rom 6:4-6
The BAPTISM of DEATH or BAPTISM of Repentance! Rom6:6.
Rom 6:6 knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him in order that the body of sin might be destroyed, that from now on we should not serve sin.
INDEED, ‘IAM Crucified with Christ’ is shown to have been Completed in the Past, ONCE and for all, NOT to be Repeated! THAT is the CORRECT Translation of this Passage. It is NOT a Gradual Process that happens over time and has NOTHING to do with Sanctification. The old man DIES in Repentance, so the New man can be BORN into the Kingdom and Taught as a Babe the Ways of God with a NEW HEART made PURE in Love! courtesy standingthegap.org
