Steve,
Run the race FINISH the course..
Know what a standing stone is?
Joshua 24:26-27, Samuel 7:12,
Know what a passover was, and was it marked?
Exodus 12:26
Has God not always used ""markers"" ""remembrances"" over the years?
1Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
1Peter 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
Very clear...very clear.... it is the resurrection of Jesus Christ that saves us.... the baptism??.......the ANSWER of a good conscience towards God.
What a standing stone it is!!!!!!!
I heard it put this way.....
" Jesus LEFT all heavens glory and the praise of angels...for a stock barn and the scorn of men.... was flailed, beaten, made to carry his own cross to Golgotha, and was spiked to a tree. Why??? LOVE ..... LOVE us He does.........He did all that for you. and you say you will not be baptized for fear of work? there is no work to do. I submit that if that is your stance,, the problem is with the heart...not baptism..."
