The purpose of this study is to show that the Bible teaches more than one type of baptism i.e. not just water. It will also help you to understand that water baptism was TO and FOR Israel in "Time Past". The only baptism in force or effect for this age is the baptism where the believer is placed into the Body Of Christ by the Holy Spirit of God.

The single most cause of confusion in churches today is a failure to follow 2Timothy 2:15. While all of the Bible is for us it is not all written to us. In our study of God’s word we must give to Israel the things pertaining to Israel and to the Body Of Christ the things pertaining to the BOC.

This study is designed to motivate you to further study of the word of God and is not intended to answer all baptism questions. Therefore we would enjoy time in God’s word with you.
