Hebrews 6:2 of [the] doctrine of washings, and of imposition of hands, and of resurrection of [the] dead, and of eternal judgment; (Darby)

The word baptism is an English word. It most often means immersion, but sometimes means washing. Seeing this is the Book of Hebrews, and written to Hebrew Christians, it is likely that it refers to ceremonial washings, as the context also would bear that interpretation out. The Jews, especially, needed instruction concerning their previous ceremonial washings and how they did or did not apply to Christianity. It goes well with the "laying on of hands," a common ceremony used in Judaism as well.

 

Is this what you rejected:

The fact that you believe all before the resurrection are unsaved?
Jesus sent his disciples out twice. Once he sent the 12 out, and then he sent out 70.

Matthew 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
Matthew 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

Matthew 10:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
--These are the works of the unsaved??

John 6:67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
--Peter's testimony of the Lord. You think this is from an unsaved person?

 

Yes, it is plural. There many different ceremonial washings. However, the Bible specifically says there is "one baptism."

 

You are confused. Christ does not contradict himself.
There is one baptism. The Bible declares that.
Now what was the last command that Christ gave to the church?

Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

What baptism was Jesus speaking about?

 

You sure DHK is a "she"?

 

Yes. But I believe that every local church is "a body of Christ." I don't believe in "The body of Christ," as you do. I don't believe in "the universal church" like you do. That is why I have been stressing the importance of the context of the local church throughout these threads. In the explanation, for example, of Eph.4:11-13 he is speaking to a local church or assembly at Ephesus. As he speaks to that church we make applications to other Bible-believing churches or assemblies.
Look throughout history.
There isn't a Protestant denomination that hasn't used water baptism as a door of entry into the local church. Every church is a body of believers. Its foundation is Christ. Its head is Christ. The members (born again believers) are the building blocks, building on the foundation (the apostles and prophets, with Christ being the chief cornerstone). Eph.2:20

 

That proves you are a habitual liar.

I thoroughly read all your posts, as that is how I am able to respond to your vain imaginings and foolishness.

 

Asked and answered.
Can you read?

 

I have replied to the scriptures many times in my responses to you. If you can't reply to me without twisting my words and habitually lying, then stop responding to me. l
