Remember, the wages sin pays is death, Romans 6:23, so when a person dies, he has paid the ultimate price for his sin. He is not punished again for his sins, of his past life, Romans 6:7.
Romans 6:7 (ESV Strong's) 7 For one who has died has been set free from sin.
Please explain how you can take those 11 words out of 3 paragraphs and say they refer to a physical death when the rest is referring to death by baptism?
Romans 6:2 (ESV Strong's) 2 By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?
Romans 6:3-4 (ESV Strong's) 3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
Romans 6:6 (ESV Strong's) 6 We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.
Romans 6:7 (ESV Strong's) 7 For one who has died has been set free from sin.
Romans 6:8 (ESV Strong's) 8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.
Romans 6:11 (ESV Strong's) 11 So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
I know witnesses believe that baptism is putting to DEATH the old worldly self, that's what verse 7 is referring to, not a physical death, death by baptism into Jesus' death.
For the life of me, I can't understand how witnesses get Romans 6:23 so screwed up.
This is what you said,
"Remember, the wages sin pays is death, Romans 6:23, so when a person dies, he has paid the ultimate price for his sin."
You don't see anything wrong with that comment, do you?
You said the wage sin PAYS is death, the you said, when a person dies he has PAID the price for sin.
If sin PAYS the wage of death, when someone dies in their sin, they have RECEIVED the wage of sin, they don't PAY the wage by their death.
