Christian ritual of baptism:
I doubt many of your fellow Christians will agree. It appears the Greek term translated as baptize is akin to "to dip" which conveys the concept of immersion. And, lest I forget to ask YOU; Just to clarify, you are saying that physical baptism is necessary for salvation, right?
“The church,” that is, the entire population of Christian believers, bears the earthly responsibility of holding up the truth of the gospel. The ultimate basis of that truth is Christ, not the proclamations or infallibility of members of that body. Paul is calling on believers to care for the structure that “supports” or “props up” our message to the world. First Timothy 3:15 cannot be taken to mean that the church itself is the source or standard for truth.
They called God the living God in the Old Testament, and I agree with you that it is members of the Church that are responsible for upholding the Truth through scripture. After all the Church is organized as a human being is. Those of who are in the Church and who are responsible for the Heart and the Mind of the Church, they would be the ones who keep the Truth accurate and meaningful.
The 1st century document The Didache (Teachings of the Twelve Aposrtles) clarifies this point:I doubt many of your fellow Christians will agree. It appears the Greek term translated as baptize is akin to "to dip" which conveys the concept of immersion. And, lest I forget to ask YOU; Just to clarify, you are saying that physical baptism is necessary for salvation, right?
