To me it looks identical to the second baptism you mentioned.

it is the same immersion referred to in 1Corinthians 12:13. For in one Spirit we were all immersed into one body - Jews or Greeks, slaves or free - and all were made to drink of one Spirit.

In Acts 2:38 baptism/immersion is just a word used to describe our entrance into forgiveness of sins upon repentance. It is similar to the baptism of the Israelites into Moses in 1 Corinthians 10:2. The Israelites were baptized eis/into Moses. They were immersed into the Law of Moses. Jesus...

Both verses tell us who they are written to. 1 John 5:1 says it is written for everyone. 1 John 5:13 says “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God.”

EternalFire If the answer you are looking for is forgiveness of sins, see my response below. Luke 24:44-48 ESV Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be...

1 John 5:1 ESV Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. Notice that this verse places the new birth in the past if you believe. What are your thoughts on this? I cannot see how this verse can be...

EternalFire Immersed into what? It doesn’t say into water. What if the immersion is into forgiveness of sins, meaning into the new covenant, just like the Israelites were immersed into Moses in 1Corinthians 10:2. See below for some background. I asked for comments on this last month. Have...

In John 3:5 the phrase ”of water and the Spirit,” uses the words “hydatos“ for water and ”pneumatos” for spirit. The word ”pneumatos” means wind or breath. So, if you see this as ”of water and wind” you see two metaphors for the Spirit being used. I am curios what others think about this...

Ahwatukee When I mentioned Strong’s definition I was wrong, it should have been Thayer’s Lexicon. Sorry for the mistake.

Thanks to all. Will be studying your responses closely.

Have your ever seen Acts 2:38 translated like this? I saw a similar translation online and I can’t get it out of my mind. Tell me what you think. Petros de pros autos, metanoesate kai baptistheto Peter then to them, change your mind and be immersed hekastos hymon epi to onomati Lesou...

Also consider Acts 11:1-18 Think about who “us” and “we” refers to in verses 15 and 17. It appears to refer to those to whom Peter was speaking, the “party of the circumcision“ from verse 2. Peter clearly refers to many people as having been baptized with the Holy Spirit.

Acts 10:44-47 ESV 44. While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word. 45. And the believers from among the circumcised who had come with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out even on the Gentiles. 46. For...

Immersion into forgiveness of sins is essentially immersion into the new testament (new covenant) as Jesus mentioned in Matthew 26:28. A similar immersion can be seen in 1 Corinthians 10:2. And all were baptized unto (eis) Moses in the cloud and in the sea.

Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Romans 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? The Greek words used here for baptized mean immersed, not immersed into water. So, the immersions...

Hebrews 9:8-10 By this the Holy Spirit indicates that the way into the holy places is not yet opened as long as the first section is still standing (which is symbolic for the present age). According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the conscience of the...
