as a sideline issue in that, the subject of baptism came up.
baptism in water, peter makes clear, is symbolic.
ie - the meaning of it is more important.
and what he says it means is basically what john the baptist was about.
repent, turn, clean, or clear, your conscience.
1 peter 3:21
- which also prefigures the baptism now saving you, not a putting away of the filth of flesh, but the demand of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, -
(that's the berean literal version, it translates it best, i think, other versions don't say prefigure, they say symbolizes, but that it is a demand is the better understanding)
the water 'just' symbolizes this.
this clearing of the conscience, in conjunction with the baptism of the Spirit, which is not symbolic, but literally inspirational, never mind in which order it takes place, as the Word also makes clear, is the essence of both baptisms.
just my take on it, but also just what i read.
