Water baptism is a practice that religous people, ie the tares among the wheat, see as important to salvation, for such peoplenaturally seek to obtain salvation through the acts of themselves. However the Children of God understand that it is only Baptism into, and of the Holy Spirit that points to ones true Election.
The Bible teaches that Baptism goes hand in hand with Salvation, and this is true, as all who are of God must be Baptized into the Spirit of Jesus to enter the Holy , of Holies. Lowered with Him in Death, and Risen up into New Life, for only Jesus , The First Begotten of the Dead is able to enter Hell, to conquer it, and to raise up out of it into New Life.
To the unregenerated, and carnal man this appears to be a baptism in water. Such men are decieved into thinking that their act of allowing another individual to dunk them in a baptismal pond, pool, or water makes them set for eternity. John, The Levitical Priest, who baptized in the Jordan summed it up best when he told the religous Jews that water baptism was not meant for them, and that it would not save them.
Sad as it is, such men, according to Jesus are under a "strong delusion" , and will follow the lies of the great deciever satan who will teach that water baptism earns one their salvation. The man who seeks a water baptism is , like the religous Jews, and child of satan, simply looking for a work, or deed to earn salvation.

Those with an ear, will indeed hear!
You might want to look in the mirror 1st to make sure you are not a tare. Remember, there are those whom "think" they are wheat,and they think they are the only one who is right, BUT THEY ARE TARE!!! Jesus was baptised in a river and what about you?

Actually the Blood of Jesus gives me blessed assurance, but thanks for your concern.

Very true. These are the people that believe being baptized in a pool, pond, or river saves them. The ones that God says are under a "strong delusion".

Jesus was Baptized in River because He was Lamb that had to be washed before the Slaughter. I on the other hand was fullu immersed in the Blood of Jesus for my Baptism.
Your baptism in the river may have washed away the physical dirt on your body, but your sins were not washed away. You must be washed in the Blood of the Lamb. I hope that occurs one day.

It has already occured my friend. You see, my baptism was in Jesus Christ blood and the river baptism is the symbol of what change has taken place.
Remember BLsig, I mean Kodyak, I can counsel you and teach you if you are willing to come out of denial.
