Hi to all and water baptism will always , keep many people WET , so they think !!
In John 1:31 it reads , And I knew Him not , BUT that He should be manifest to Israel , therefore am I come BAPTIZING with WATER !!
#1, The first Greek verb is KNEW which is in the Greek , PLEPERFECT TENSE which means , that the times of John's ministry and that stopped at John death or it was completed !!
Since the PLEPERFECT TENSE APPLY'S only for John the Baptist ministry , IT IS NOT FOR TODAY !!
#2 , John was to MAKE Jesus should be MANIFEST to Israel and NOT to the B O C , so BAPTISM is OUT !!
#3 , Any one that checks the Greek texts will see that 22 times the Greek word BAPTISM is NOT in the Greek text and it is really the GREEK word BAPTIMA , and this means under the MYSTERY there is ONLY one BAPTIZER , THE HOLY SPIRIT !!
This means that also Tongues , Prophecies , and the Gift of Knowledge all in the Greek FUTURE TENSE as written in 1 Cor 13:8 , because we believers of the MYSTERY walk by FAITH !!
