According to SCRIPTURE, why was Christ baptized?

[Christine]

1. To fulfill all righteousness (Matt. 3:15) Christ was the HIGH PRIEST under the NEW Covenant (Heb. 4:14)

To fulfill all righteousness meant that Christ had to be WASHED according to the Law of High Priests (Exodus 29:4)


2. Christ was baptized to make Him manifest to ISRAEL (John 3:15)


So, as you can SEE, we who are members of the Body of Christ are NEVER told to follow Christ in "believers baptism", because HIS baptism had to do with ISRAEL, and NOT with us at all!

The term "beleivers baptism" is not found anywhere in the Bible...but is made up by "churchianity" and the traditions of MEN.

Water baptism was REQUIRED of the nation Israel.

The ONE baptism of OUR salvation to enter the Body of Christ TODAY is found in Eph 4:5, and has NOTHING whatsoever to do with water. Heres another study for you to look into. You will enjoy it very much, Im sure.
