God’s Plan of Salvation (5)
• Βαπτίζω (baptizo) –
• “to dip in or under” (Kittel)“1. to dip repeatedly, to immerse, to submerge (of vessels sunk) 2. To cleanse by dipping or submerging, to wash, to make clean with water…” (Strong’s)
• Note: When considering this word in English, be careful with definitions – they might include things different than Biblical teaching. Also, some denominational sources define the word with a doctrinal slant.
• The word is actually a transliteration (the conversion of a text from one language to another)
• The Bible clarifies what baptism actually is.
• And so will we!
• The great commissionMatthew 28:18-20Mark 16:15-16Luke 24:47, “repentance and remission of sins.”
• The book of Acts
