Good morning Lance. Looks like we're up at the same time of morning. I hope your coffee is warm.
You gave "one man's understanding." Is this your understanding or is it someone else's? If someone else's, could you tell me who? -- slade -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Lance Muir Sent: Tuesday, 06 July, 2004 05:47 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] question Terry:Here is one man's understanding:"..in his baptism in the Jordan the incarnate Son of God received the Spirit upon the humanity he had taken from us, not for his own sake but for our sake.That is to say it was our humanity that was baptised, annointed, sanctified and sealed in him.Thus when he was baptised for us we were baptised in him.Our baptism in the name of the Holy Trinity, therefore, is to be underrstood as a partaking through the Spirit in the one unrepeatable baptism of Christ which he underwent, not just in the Jordan river, but throughout his life death resurrection, on our behalf. That vicarious baptism was the objective truth behind the 'en Baptisma' (Greek) in the creed in which its depth of meaning was grounded." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Terry Clifton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: July 05, 2004 22:16 Subject: [TruthTalk] question > Was just sitting here minding my own business, and a question popped > into my head.
