Baptism which corresponds

It is effective because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. American Standard Version which also after a true likeness doth now save you, even baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the interrogation of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ; Aramaic Bible in Plain English For you also are saved in it by that simile in baptism, not when you wash the body from impurity, but when you confess God with a pure conscience, and by the resurrection of Yeshua, The Messiah, Contemporary English Version Those flood waters were like baptism that now saves you.

But baptism is more than just washing your body. It means turning to God with a clear conscience, because Jesus Christ was raised from death. Douay-Rheims Bible Whereunto baptism being of the like form, now saveth you also: not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the examination of a good conscience towards God by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. English Revised Version which also after a true likeness doth now save you, even baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the interrogation of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ; Good News Translation which was a symbol pointing to baptism, which now saves you.

It is not the washing off of bodily dirt, but the promise made to God from a good conscience. Baptism doesn't save by removing dirt from the body. Rather, baptism is a request to God for a clear conscience. It saves you through Jesus Christ, who came back from death to life. Acts At that hour of the night, the jailer took them and washed their wounds. And without delay, he and all his household were baptized.

Improve this answer. Nigel J Nigel J Never should 1 Peter be separated from v Both verses should be quoted together: v20 who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. The water of Noah's flood in which the survivors were NOT immersed is used as a symbol of water of Christian baptism in which believers ARE immersed , which in turn us used as a symbol of, according to the above verses: pledge of a clear conscience toward God Resurrection of Christ is what saves us Note that literal baptism is NOT what saves us but it is a an outward sign of an inner change of heart - a "clear conscience toward God" and the hope of final resurrection on the basis of Jesus' resurrection 1 Cor You are correct.

Typologies are never meant to be fully correspondent. As you point out which is pointed out in scholarship in detail , Noah's flood did not save nor wash Noah and his family or save nor wash everyone outside the ark. And If the flood washed, it was in a destructive way. Therefore, the washing in Noah's flood starts something anew a new world under Noah just like [ here is the typology ] baptism in the NT starts something anew a new life. That only is what makes baptism save: the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

For Mac's Musing, see context; this shows salvation is a stake as it likens baptism to "the days of Noah" and passing through the waters of the Flood waters above rain and below flood water to be saved at that time [thus immersed in water]:- NASB 1 Pet.

Ethos, I was not sure if your answer is complete. Gina No. Belief in those things would move a person to dedicate themselves to do God's will because he did that form them. This does not answer the question - Heb does not mention baptism so why do you quote it?

Now, in terms of Paul's usage in Romans ESV : 3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

Also, you must instruct the one who is to be baptized to fast for one or two days beforehand. XegesIs XegesIs 2 2 silver badges 15 15 bronze badges.

Simply because someone can read English does not make them an English interpreter or professor or lexicographer of English. Simply because someone can read Greek doesnt make them a lexicographer.

Baptism does not always signify immersion. Immersion may be conveyed only when the context demands it, not otherwise. This is not my opinion Gina.

This is well known in linguistics, Hebrew and Greek semantics. Your overall answer is indeed correct. However, you make a few blunders and run away with it. No one in evangelical scholarship would agree with you and for extremely, very good reasons. Also, there are more passages in the entire New Testament where salvation is explained in detail and phrased in a sentence where baptism is not referenced whatsoever. Salvation is solely based on faith.

We are not saying, however, that no one should get baptized. Of course, you should get baptized if you're supposed to obey God. But, this doesnt prove your points. You also reference very suspicious resources. It's ok. I've been there, done that. But, it's not right.

We're in and every believer should start to learn to take advantage of the Internet the right way. Please, read serious, careful scholarship--at least, start to learn doing so. In this case, I recommend you read Ph.

Candidate Benjamin J. Snyder : asburyseminary. The aim of Christ was to overcome the alienation brought about by our sin and to bring us to God, a theme found yet again in Romans and Ephesians The difference between these two options is minimal. Such Greek categories of thought are foreign to the NT. Neither do these terms refer to the two natures of Christ, human and divine.

Rather they refer to two modes or spheres of existence. His earthly life ended, but that was succeeded by his heavenly life. He died in the earthly, temporal realm, a realm characterized by flesh, and he was made alive or raised to the heavenly, eternal realm, a realm characterized by spirit. Since the latter has in view the resurrection of Christ, what follows in verse 19 must be an experience subsequent to his resurrection, not prior to it.

As we will see below, the verb here describes the same event: the ascension and exaltation of the risen Savior. There are three primary competing views. This does not exclude the possibility entirely, but it casts strong doubt on it.

On the other hand, the noun pneuma is frequently used in the NT for angelic beings. Thus it was the preincarnate second person of the Trinity, before he became human flesh in the person of Jesus, who through or in or by means of the Holy Spirit preached to disobedient people living in the days of Noah just before the flood. Christ was not personally present at that time but by means of the Spirit spoke to them through Noah. From this some have concluded that he was giving them a second chance to be saved after their deaths.

The most likely view is that Peter has in mind those rebellious angels demons who sought unnatural and immoral unions with female humans. This is the incident recorded in Genesis —5 cf. It was to these demonic spirits that Christ proclaimed his victory and their judgment, after his resurrection and likely at the time of his ascension.

The likelihood is that the term is used figuratively to make the point that these demonic spirits are in some sense confined or restrained by God until the time of final judgment. Christ went to the prison of the fallen angels, not to the abode of the dead, and the two are never equated. Two other texts likely refer to this same event cf. This sin was not the original demonic rebellion, for why, then, would only some be confined and not all?
