I had to research why I was saying, Symbolic, when I kept saying, in the
Water Baptism in Jesus Name Thread, it's for
a Good Conscience.
And thank God, Peter said the same thing:
20 ..........In that ark a few (that is, eight souls) were brought safely through water.
21 Corresponding to that, immersion now brings you to safety—not the removal of dirt from the flesh,
but a pledge to God of a good conscience—through the resurrection of Messiah
Yeshua.
It's a Mind thing!
I am not against Water Baptism, and was Water Baptized, and have Water Baptized Others.
It's just not a Salvation Issue at all, but a Conscience, Reliever!
And I do enjoy having a good Conscience
