Mark 16:16[1] tells us that that we need to be a believer and also be baptized. But that baptism is apparently not just the water baptism of John the Baptist, apostles or the early Church.
John even tells us that he only baptized with water "unto[2] repentance".[3] This statement emphasize that it is repentance that is the goal, intent, and purpose of the outward ceremony.
Without true and sincere repentance the water baptism is meaningless. The rabbinical baptism of the Pharisees included registration with civil institution of Corban through the temple of Herod.
The Christian system of pure Religion was dependent upon charity while the leaven of Herod and the Pharisees was dependant on force.
Their system or tables of welfare were dependent upon the covetous practices of desiring benefits at your neighbors expense through men in government calling themselves benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other. [4]
Christians repented of those covetous practices which had always been a snare which would contribute to the Christian conflict with Rome.
- ↑ Mark 16:16"He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."
- ↑ 1519 ~εἰς~ eis \@ice\@ a primary preposition; prep AV-into 573, to 281, unto 207, for 140, in 138, on 58, toward 29, against 26, misc 322; 1774
- 1) into, unto, to, towards, for, among
- "For" (as used in #Acts 2:38 "for the forgiveness … ") could have two meanings. If you saw a poster saying "Jesse James wanted for robbery," "for" could mean Jesse is wanted so he can commit a robbery, or is wanted because he has committed a robbery. The later sense is the correct one. So too in this passage of 1 Peter 2 concerning peculiar people, the word "for" signifies an action in the past. Otherwise, it would violate the entire tenor of the NT teaching on salvation by grace and not by works.
- As a primary preposition eis indicates the point reached or entered figuratively with the intent and purpose of obtaing a result, etc. As with verbs it expresses motion both literally or figuratively.
- ↑ “11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:” Matthew 3:11
- ↑ Not exercise authority
- Matthew 20:25 "But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you:..."
- Mark 10:42 "But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. But so shall it not be among you:..."
- Luke 22:25 "And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But ye [shall] not [be] so:..."
