Did Paul ever water baptize ?

[TrevorL]

Greetings again dan perez,

And you say that WATER BAPTISM places all believer into the BODY OF CHRIST ?? And Gal 3:27 says and we should CLOTHE OURSELVES , with Christ , and WATER can do THAT , you say ??

Galatians 3:26-29 clearly teaches that it is faith in the Gospel coupled with water baptism that unites a person with Christ and his salvation.

Kind regards
Trevor

And gal 3:26 were BAPTIZED / BAPTISZO into Christ have clothed themselves with Christ and WATER BAPTISM and you are always saying WATER / HUDOR when the Greek word WATER /HUDOR is NOT used in many verses .

So explain 1 Cor 10:2 And all were BAPTIZED together unto Moses in the CLOUD and in the SEA ??

How did that HAPPEN ??

[Mattathias]

If Paul was given a new message , why water baptize ??

I question the premise. Paul wasn’t given a new message.The message he was given to preach is the same message that Jesus and the other Apostles were given to preach.

Jesus commanded baptism in water and we find in scripture that that is what the Apostles (and even Jesus himself) did. Paul didn’t minimize the importance of water baptism. He was obedient to the command of Jesus.

1 Cor 1:17 says , For Christ did not send send me to Baptize but to preach the Gospel .

How does any one reconcile verse 14 and verse 17 ?

That’s the right question to ask.

“Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John (although Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples were), …”

(John 4:1-2, NASB)

Just as Jesus had, Paul used his agents - disciples whom he had made through preaching the one and only gospel - to carry out the baptizing in water for him.

Paul is imitating what Jesus had done. Paul is Christlike.
