    What say the scriptures?

    I've always seen in the Greek sins as misses, as in missing the mark. Are you saying that Baptism in Jesus's name is for the purpose of removing ignorance of the spirit world and was mistranslated as remission of sins? And if so, can you give a scripture reference? Thank you.

    What say the scriptures?

    Fascinating, but there's nothing in this text linking Jesus's baptism to baptism in His name that He commanded after He was resurrected. Do you know of a scripture that explicitly states a connection between these two baptisms?

    What say the scriptures?

    Thank you for answering my question to the best of your ability. I did not mean my question as a cross examining, just as a clarification. But I will say I do not get the purpose that you are alluding to, sorry.

    What say the scriptures?

    Nope. Acts 18:24-26 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. [25] This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the...

    Thank you. Acts 11:15-18 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. [16] Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. [17] Forasmuch then as God gave them the like...

    What say the scriptures?

    Thank you, The Acts 2 passage does state a purpose. So, so far we have Romans 6:3-4 and Acts 2:38 as stated purposes. Any more?

    What say the scriptures?

    That's a lot of good information on baptism but it doesn't provide a "get baptized for the purpose of..." .

    What say the scriptures?

    Thank you. What about baptism in Jesus's name which began after Jesus's resurrection, and was a different baptism than John's? What is the scripturally stated purpose for that?

    What say the scriptures?

    There is no purpose stated here, and it does not make reference to baptism in Jesus's name, which is in water acts 10:47-48.

    What say the scriptures?

    This verse mentions baptism, but like the Acts 19:5 reverse I cited earlier, it does not state a purpose.

    What say the scriptures?

    Acts 19:5. That verse doesn't State the purpose, but it is an example of baptism in the name of Jesus. You can also look at my last post on page one for a more full description.

    What say the scriptures?

    Fair enough. This calls for a bit of clarification. I'm not approaching this question as someone who has never read the scriptures and is asking others to fill me in where I lack knowledge. But it is for the purpose of discussion. I believe that the christian community needs to be able to answer...

    What say the scriptures?

    No, it only says there's a likeness. It didn't say why they got baptized. You're inferring the rest, what does the text Romans 6 or any other passage say is a purpose? It is a verse which states purpose, but again, symbolic is not in the text. The verse does, however, say "Buried with him in...

    I didn't say I was seeking the answer. I said this might be a difficult question to answer. Thank you for participating though.

    What say the scriptures?

    I'm asking for written verses that state a purpose in the text, not an interpretation or commentary.

    What say the scriptures?

    The verse doesn't say "symbolize". What does it say? And what are any other verses that say the purpose?

    What say the scriptures?

    Good question, I am not asking to find a scripture that says in the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit. As there is only one verse that states that states that. But since acts 10:47-48 establishes that baptism in Jesus's name is in water, then any verse that either refers...
