Randy:


what do you mean by 'fresh?' AS in new or novel?

Yes, I meant fresh as in newer. I have heard similar teaching before but don't remember seeing it put that way before. It may have been stated that way but I just might not have paid attention before. It isn't something in the early church that I had read about concerning baptism . Of course what I have read concerning the early church is just terrible doctrinally. Baptismal regeneration, baptisms based upon necessity for salvation (imminent death), and the teaching that your sins are forgiven by baptism are out there in my opinion. I understand where the teachings came from but they aren't biblical.
