What are the most important life events regardless of culture, regardless of time period? Are they not birth, marriage and death? It is not surprising then to find baptism/immersion into Christ compared to all three in various parts of Scripture. The mere fact that baptism/immersion is compared to these life-altering events should not be lost on us when we seek to find where the "Holy Bath/Washing" fits into the conversion process. Each of these events marks a change in state/status. The next few entries will consist of a 3-part series on those topics with the related verses. Please read over them in preparation for the study:
The tomb:
Romans 6:1-11, Colossians 2:9-14
The womb:
John 3:1-8, Titus 3:3-8
The bride & groom:
Ephesians 5:25-27
Be strong in the grace,
Fenton
