The fact that they had
not even heard of the Holy Ghost told Paul that something was wrong here.
He knew already that they had been baptized, and apparently he had assumed
that they had been baptized in the name of Jesus.

DAVEH: Hmm...I did not expect that to be your answer.
it seems to me that you perceive the authority of the
one who does the baptizing as being very important.

No, I view the sacrificial rites of the Sinai covenant were not signs of the
covenant, but rather elements of the cove

With the Father in heaven. John the Baptist was a forerunner of the new
convenant that would come through Jesus. His baptism prepared the way by
helping people understand the elements of entering into this new covenant.
Therefore, hi
I believe that a covenant sign is
one reason that Jesus was himself baptized by John.

other purposes as well,

DAVEH: Again, thanx for the explanation. Do you feel that the OT

Yes, I view it in a similar light, but I would not use the words you used,
"it being a covenant." Circumcision is a sign of the convenant, actually
used for more than one covenant in history (both Abr
DAVEH: Once again, I thank you for your thoughtful answer, DavidM. Do
you view circumcision in a similar light as baptism...it being a

Well, in the case of Abraham, there was a blood covenant. So that would be
one other way there. With Jacob, there was wrestling with God. In terms of
coming into a relationship with Jesus, the waters o

Yes, I view it the same way. However, I view baptism as the standard
expression of faith for ratifying the covenant, not as the only way of
ratifying the covenant. In fact, baptism without faith
DAVEH: As you probably know, I associate baptism with such a
