[COLOSSIANS 2:12 KJV] 12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with [him] through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
This baptism is not water baptism. It is the baptism by the Spirit.........[1CORINTHIANS 12:13 KJV] 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether [we be] Jews or Gentiles, whether [we be] bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
That we would be dead and buried with Christ was not revealed before Paul. Not only were we dead and buried, but we also have been raised from the dead.
[COLOSSIANS 2:20 KJV] 20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, ........we have been determined to be dead with Christ and to be raised to walk in newness of life.
[GALATIANS 2:20 KJV] 20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me........That we have been crucified with Christ, and risen with him was not found outside of the revelations given to Paul.
It is only thru Paul that we could know this.
