    About this ebook

    John's water baptism has been almost universally accepted as applying to the worldwide Church, however the details of its application also generate as much controversy within the Church as almost any doctrine. This controversy makes it even more ironic that so many questions about John's water baptism have been left unasked and unanswered.

    + Was John the Baptist’s water baptism under the jurisdiction of the Old Covenant or the New Covenant?

    + What differentiates John the Baptist’s water baptism from other purification rituals of the Old Covenant?

    + Is it reasonable to believe that John and his disciples immersed hundreds of thousands of people one at a time?

    + Is it reasonable to believe that the Jews dragged their furniture down to the river to immerse it before each meal?

    + Wasn’t John’s water baptism described as a type of temporary repentance?+ Wasn’t John’s water baptism described specifically as a preparing of the way of the Lord so that the Jews could recognize the Christ?

    + Why would the Church place water baptism after salvation when John provided water baptism before salvation?

    + Why does the Church view water baptism as a permanent cleansing when John’s water baptism was described as a temporary purification?

    + Why did John lose his ability to recognize the Christ?

    + Why did Christ not order any that He ministered to be water baptized?

    These are just a sample of the the questions answered in regard to John's water baptism in MetaChristianity IX - Unlocking Baptism Bible Mysteries.

    Author

    Jim Autio

    As a polite polemist, I dabble in human studies and other topics that catch my fancy, combined with an exploration of ideology and American politics as a major interest, and reasoning out the Bible as another. This has led me to develop a unique method of research that has so far produced 22 ideology essays (see my website on my profile page), and the ongoing MetaChristianity book series which is available here at Smashwords. Fate was gracious with me. While having avoided the indoctrination process of higher education and Sunday morning sermons, I have still managed to maintain a thirst for solving problems and acquiring new knowledge - some people are just lucky I guess. My wife calls me the ultimate tweeker, because I am forever changing things, at least until I settle on an ultimate solution (I prefer to think of it as a devotion to excellence [wink]). Along with a stamina for dogged research, my only real talent seems to be an ability to reason out ideological and theological arguments into practical, reasonable conclusions. The MetaChristianity book series bears this out, as you will see.

      WHERE WAS JESUS BETWEEN HIS DEATH & RESURRECTION?

      Mar 10, 2023

      After Jesus said, “It is finished,” on the Cross, “he bowed his head and gave up his spirit” (John 19:30). His dead body remained on the Cross until it was taken down and placed in a nearby tomb (John 19:40–42). His spirit, however, was elsewhere. Th
