Keep this up and I’m going to become Lutheran …
When I began to doubt the Orthodox Church and wondered "Where am I supposed to go next?", one of the things that attracted me and led me to decide on the Lutheran Church was its simplicity, forcefulness when saying things. A clarity that only a doctrine based entirely on the Bible can offer. Far from the detours and tortuous paths of philosophy, but as Luther intended, sharing the message of the pure Gospel, in such a way that anyone, without needing to be literate, can understand and embrace it, as it was in the days of the apostles.
It's beautiful
It’s very telling that Jesus told Nicodemus that one must be “born of water and the Spirit” in order to “enter into the kingdom of God” (Jn. 3:5) a fairly short time after His own Baptism, which was VERY CLEARLY “water and the Spirit” (cf. Matt. 3:13-17; Mk. 1:9-11; Lk. 3:21-22; Jn. 1:29-34)

Great, clear explanation.
Awesome!
Thank you.
Baptism is the outward expression of what has happened inwardly. How does an infant understand Jesus's salvation and accept it?
What verse says that baptism is "the outward expression of what has happened inwardly"?
@@ShonkySquad What verse says that sprinkling water on a baby's head will keep them from going to Hell?
If infant baptism saves, then why didn't the Apostles simply set-up "baptism stations" all over town and peddle salvation that way? It would have been a lot easier than taking beatings and being executed. In 1 Peter 3:21, he wasn't talking about infant baptism because it didn't even exist yet. In 100% of New Testament baptisms, a person was baptized by full immersion ONLY after he heard the Gospel and believed the Gospel.
Too much bashing of "most protestants" without qualification, especially when it's historically untrue
Typical Lutheran sectarianism
