Baptism isn't Baptism? There are many accounts of it (in water) throughout the NT. This is quite easy to establish.

Our clearest example remains Jesus' own Baptism; if we think we don't need it, we can always look at Him! He clearly didn't need it but did it anyway, as an example for us.
a can of worms has be re opened by allowing this thread to continue.. no body has said one does not need baptism it is a command but if by some chance a person is not physically able to be baptized or they pass away before baptism. IT DOES NOT nor will not keep them out of heaven ..this seems to be the debate /discussion yes there are 3 baptisms mentioned in the Bible . is there any way to just move on with out the i am right you are wrong post ..
 
I have pretty much given all I can to this discussion and feel I have given that of what I believe in what the scriptures present as many of us are going to agree and now only repeating ourselves.

God bless all of you and have a great evening.
 
I will say one last thing is that what we disagree on more than anything is where it says word and Spirit. The important thing is that we are Spiritually born again so we can enter the kingdom of God as we prepare ourselves to be the Bride of Christ when He returns for us.

To say Jesus baptized with water in John 3:22 would be a contradiction with John 4:1-3 and I'm sure John would not have contradicted himself.

Any baptism in water up to the time of the crucifixion would not have been done in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit as Jesus was not yet glorified nor the Holy Spirit sent down.

Now when you read John 4:1-3 John says Jesus never baptized anyone, but His disciples. One can only assume the disciples were already baptized in water as many of them were disciples of John the Baptist until Jesus came to be baptized of John. It was only a rumor that the Pharisees heard that Jesus was baptizing more than John the Baptist, but yet Jesus never baptized anyone in water, but His disciples were the ones baptizing in Judea.

OK, now I am done..............maybe!!!
 
Why was Jesus baptized? to become saved? NO, it is to fulfill the law. In Leviticus 16:4 we find that the high priest had to completely bath himself before putting on the high priest attire. In order to fulfill that law Jesus had to be baptized before he could become the great heavenly high priest.

He shall put the holy linen tunic and the linen trousers on his body; he shall be girded with a linen sash, and with the linen turban he shall be attired. These are holy garments. Therefore he shall wash his body in water, and put them on. Leviticus 16:4

The priest had to bath before he put on the priestly garments.

Aaron was baptised in the Red Sea, along with everyone else.


Since Jesus was not from the tribe of Levi, but was a high priest after the order of Melchizedek, His priesthood was not according to the law.


Therefore, if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be called according to the order of Aaron? For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law. For He of whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no man has officiated at the altar.
For it is evident that our Lord arose from Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood. Hebrews 7:11-14


It was right that Jesus submit to the heaven ordained ministry of John the Baptist, demonstrating that all need to submit to this baptism, as His example demonstrates.

hello JLB, dirtfarmer here

Scripture states that Jesus didn't come to do away with the law but to fulfill the law thereby making it useless( not applicable). So for the law to be fulfilled he had to do the whole law and the high priest "washing" before "putting on" the garments of the high priest was part of the law.
 
Christ is our High priest and as it has been already said the most important thing is the new birth .as the song says the only thing that matters is our name is written in the lamb book of life... every thing else is dung.. at th nw birth we learn about our spiritual life. which is never ending. if anyone thinks they know it by degree or =what ever method of study or denomination belief is fooling them selves . i my self have learned a few things in this forum lots of back ground history ..which i have no sources of

Brother, the Priest’s had to wash every time they were to enter the tabernacle.

Baptism in water is once, and was typified by the Red Sea, which included all of them, including Aaron.

Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 1 Corinthians 10:1-2


As you can see, it was the crossing of the Red Sea, that typified baptism in water, not washing before putting on his garments.

Aaron was already baptized in the Red Sea before he began to minister in the tabernacle.

Aaron did not need to be baptized in Water again.


Aaron was already High Priest before he washed and before he put on his garments.

He did not become High Priest because he washed and put on priestly garments.


Washing before putting on priestly garments and washing with the water from the laver does not typify baptism.

Again, Jesus is a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek, not according to Levi.


Jesus fulfilled the law, (Torah) and the prophets, which include Genesis, not just the law of Moses.
