Ephesians 4:1-7 KJV
1) I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
2) With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
3) Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4) There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5) One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6) One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
7) But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
What is this "one baptism"?
Romans 6:3-6 KJV
3) Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4) Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5) For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6) Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Something to take note of, "baptized" is not a translation, it is a transliteration, a rewriting of the Greek word in our alphabet. Following would be a translation including of that word,
Romans 6:3-6 KJV
3) Know ye not, that so many of us as were immersed into Jesus Christ were immersed into his death?
4) Therefore we are buried with him by immersion into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5) For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6) Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve si
One baptism. We are baptized, that is, immersed into Jesus Christ, which is to be immersed into His death. Being baptized into Jesus, into His death, we now are to walk in newness of life.
Much love!
