Do you also subscribe to the OLD TESTAMENT belief in stoning blasphemers, adulterers?
Old Testament is one thing; I follow Jesus - when was HE baptized?
Oh yeah - not at 8 days.
If I remember my Bible history (IIRMBH) - at that point - Jesus was 30!!! It was roughly 3 years after that He was crucified.
So, if it’s good enough for Jesus, it’s good enough for me. I’ll stand in the gap.
No
with pool balls, though, maybe ...
Somebody suggested IHS got Baptized just as soon as he could.
I DO think that looking carefully at whatever differences material to the conversation there might be between circumcision and baptism would be helpful. The making of analogies to OT practices is not dispositively invalidated by mentioning that some other OT practices are no longer the thing to do.
The very first time the opportunity presented itself.
