Hey Dave I have a couple of questions. 1)In sunday school the lesson was on being baptized and they said that when you get baptized you are following Jesus in the death, barial, and resurection. But what I don't understand is Jesus was baptized befor he died and so where other people. Did it mean the same thing then as it does now? 2)I went to see THE PASSION OF CHRIST (which was really good by the way) and I woundering if Mary knew that Jesus was going to die on the cross befor it happened? (e-3/2/2004 12:43:15 PM) The answer to question 1 is: No, baptism did not mean the same thing as it does now. Baptism is a sacred rite that signifies purification, initiation, or identification of an individual with a leader, group, or teaching. There are 6 types of Baptism mentioned in the Bible: Jewish Baptism: a ceremonial cleansing prescribed for both people and items (Mark 7:3 - ceremonial washing of hands; Exodus 19:10-14 - washing of clothes; Leviticus 8:6 - washed the people; Hebrews 9:10 - various washings) John's Baptism: a preparatory act in which Jews expressed their belief in the imminent coming of the Messiah and their desire to turn away from sin and live righteous lives. The baptism of John the Baptist was not Christian baptism, nor was that which was practiced by the disciples previous to our Lord's crucifixion. John's baptism bound its subjects to repentance, and not to the faith of Christ. It was not administered in the name of the Holy Trinity, and those whom John baptized were rebaptized by Paul (Acts 18:24-19:7). Christ's Baptism: an act of ceremonial righteousness. By being baptized, Christ was not admitting sinfulness but consecrating Himself for His ministry. Christ had to be formally inaugurated into the public discharge of his offices. For this purpose He came to John, who was the representative of the law and the prophets, that by him He might be introduced into His offices, and thus be publicly recognized as the Messiah of whose coming the prophecies had for many ages said would happen. Spirit Baptism: the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit by which believers are joined to the body of Christ. At TBT we believe this happens at the moment of Salvation. Christian Baptism: a ceremonial act instituted by Christ (Matthew 28:19) and practiced by the apostles (Acts 2:38) that depicts a believer's union and identification with Christ in his death, burial, and resurrection. Baptism by fire: a possible reference to the judgment at the Second Coming or to the coming of the Spirit at Pentecost (Matthew 3:9-12; Luke 3:16-17) Sources: www.ChristianAnswers.net Nelson Study Bible - NKJV Mary was a special woman. She pondered all the things that had happened to her (Luke 2:19). She knew her child was supernatural, she was told He would be the Messiah (Luke 1:26). Jesus must have stood out among Mary's other children. The Bible just does not give us enough information to know Mary's inner thoughts on the matter of her foreknowledge of the cross. Jesus told His disciples and others publicly about the cross point blank (Matthew 27:63, Mark 8:31, Mark 10:32-34). So Mary could have known about the cross but, the Bible doesn't make it clear if she did or not. We can only speculate. |
