Have you Been Baptised by Immersion?

Question

I have, the bible tells us that we are buried with Christ through baptism, surely nobody is buried by sprinkling dirt on their head but being buried requires full body immersion which is true baptism in Jesus name. The Greek word for Baptism is "Baptizo" which means literally "Immersion". Alot of people are baptised by sprinkling water on their heads, they are not truly baptised and yes baptism is nessacary because without baptism, we are not buried with Christ.
When we come up from the water, that represents the ressurection. We mush all be baptised according to the word and not tradition of man, Come let us reason. God bless

Answer 1

Yes I have.

The New Testament was originally written in the Greek language. The Greek word we get the word "baptism" from, means to immerse.

Immersion is to dip down into the water. It is an overwhelming. The one being baptized is lowered into (until he is completely under) the water and then lifted up out of the water. It is not just sprinkling or pouring a little water on top of someone.

This can also be seen in Scripture.

John 3:23 says, "Now John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there. And they came and were baptized." Only immersion requires "much water".

Baptism is described as going down into the water and coming up out of the water. (Matthew 3:16-17, Acts 8:38-39) Only immersion has the one being baptized going into the water.

Also, baptism is described as a burial. (Romans 6:3-4, Colossians 2:12) Only immersion buries the one being baptized.

It's funny that the only place that people have trouble understanding baptism is in religion. If someone were to say they were "baptized in debt", would you think they had just a sprinkling of debt (a few bills)? No, someone described in this way is figuratively "covered up" with debt.

I saw a sports article that said the freshmen on a football team had an "early baptism". Of course it mean they were plunged into full sudden participation in the program. They did not just see a sprinkling of activity, but they were fully involved.

If we can understand this everywhere else, why not in religion?

"Thank You Jesus" GLORY!

Answer 4

Yes, in baptismal waters, the sins of my flesh were circumcized and I am now buried under the blood of Jesus, a newborn child of God. Hallelujah! Full immersion baptism is a necessary act of spiritual rebirth, not for proof to others, but as an act of obedience to God, the NT circumcision. Under the blood, we seal our covenant with God to obey and God in turn takes us as His children, opening the door to salvation.

Thank you Jesus for saving me! You are worthy of my praise!

Answer 5

ok nicely because of the fact i'm uncertain the style you investigate it, i think of I might want first of all what i've got faith the bible says approximately baptism. Baptism is an exterior way of displaying you have repented of your sins and function commonplace Christ as your savior. which you will stay your existence in any different case and paintings to maintain on with Christ. Christ grew to become into baptized and then began His ministry. It has no longer something to do with salvation or washing away sin. Biblically i do no longer comprehend of absolutely everyone who's baptized two times, yet this is to no longer say which you will no longer be. i assume you purely might desire to learn your self. it is the difficulty that could make me think of which you're ok. You mentioned you grew spiritually once you have been baptized and now experience such as you have a greater suitable information. this is not (to me) something that shows a elect for baptism, this is barely widely used strengthen and adulthood in Christ. 5 years from now you will experience an excellent greater effective experience of information and awe which you have been forgiven and an excellent greater suitable appreciation and information of what you're able to do to be a reliable follower of Christ. It does no longer recommend you're actually not doing what you may desire to now. To me a reliable reason to be rebaptized could be in case you have been saved and fell removed from the church for an prolonged time. you may exchange into baptized displaying you will get returned on objective and stay for Christ. If that's no longer the place you're then, i for my area do no longer see a reason, yet i could inspire you to communicate to a pastor or decon on your church and acquire their suggestion. I desire you each and every of the applicable and wish I helped.

Answer 6

Yes, come let us reason. Allegory is a powerful form of sharing tradition, thought, and meaning. Allegory and myth are used when the events surpass language. Our human attempts to define the numinous using language is akin to carving a roast with a toothpick.

Answer 7

Well, thank you for your input, I was baptized as an infant and I consider it to be completely valid. You seem to be pretty locked into a credo administration of the rite, so I won't argue. Congratulations if you were recently baptized, I think that's wonderful.
