10.How many kinds of water baptisms are there?

Back to Study the Book of Ephesians


Back to Chapter Four......


One.

In water baptism we were "planted together in the likeness of his death" (Romans 6:5). It follows that we shall be "also in the likeness of his resurrection."

How powerful, how unifying, are the bonds that bind the members of the Body of Christ into one Spirit-filled whole! Each of us has been united with Christ in His death and His resurrection. The mode of our baptism in water, the words that are pronounced as we are baptized, is not nearly as important as the fact that by faith we have entered His death on the cross and His resurrection and ascension to the right hand of God.

It is this common death and resurrection that makes the Body of Christ one living creation in the Presence of God. How could there be any division in the one Vine, Christ, Head and Body, that fills the heavens and the earth?
