Given the verse examples I included in my earlier post:
Matt 3:11 - EGW MEN hUMAS BAPTIZW EN hUDATI EIS METANOIAN
Matt 28:19 - BAPTIZONTES AUTOUS EIS TO ONOMA TOU PATROS ...
Matt 26:28 - TO PERI POLLWN EKCUNNOMENON EIS AFESIN
hAMARTIWN
Mark 1:4-5 - KHRUSSWN BAPTISMA METANOIAS EIS AFESIN
hAMARTIWN (also Luke 3:3) ... KAI EBAPTIZONTO hUP' AUTOU EN
TWi IORDANHi POTAMWi EXOMOLOGOUMENOI TAS hAMARTIAS
AUTWN (also Matt 3:6)
Acts 2:38 - METANOHSATE, [FHSIN,] KAI BAPTISQHTW hEKASTOS
hUMWN EPI TWi ONOMATI IHSOU CRISTOU EIS AFESIN TWN
hAMARTIWN hUMWN
would you then say that, per Matt 3:11, baptism is the process of
moving the individual from the unrepentant state to the repentant state,
and per Matt 26:28, baptism is the process of moving the individual from
non-Father/Son/Holy Spirit state to the Father/Son/Holy Spirit state?
