Lesson 677

(Lesson 677)(06-27-13) The Next New Testament appearance of the term "baptized" is found in Luke 3:12-13, "Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you."

This application is only representative of the verbal message John's "baptism" provided and NOT the water "baptisms" he administered. This is evident by what John told those "Publicans" immediately after this reference to being "baptized" as it appears in this text.

The "baptism" John provided for the those publicans, in the very next verse says, "Exact no more than that which is appointed you."

Again, this application of the term "baptized" refers to the above message only and NOT a water immersion.~
