Most people here are just plain weird!

Here is a good type / anti-type for baptism: 1 Peter 3:18-22

I say "good" because "anti-type" is the very word Peter uses in the text.

Kindly,
Don

All of this discussion is good. The closest of type/anti-type relationships with regard to NT baptism I can think of are the laver/basin in the OT temple, Ex. 30:18, for washing of hands and feet of the priests, and also 1 Cor. 10:2, "...baptized into Moses...", which seems by the context to spotlight submission. NT baptism is expressed as "washing away sins", Acts 22:16, and also as an act of submission, Rom. 6:17, c.f. Rom. 6:1-5.

I noticed I failed in this post to list the word: "antitypos". Some translations render it "the like figure". It is literally the "anti-type".

Better late than never......

Glad to see you actually go back and read posts. Why did all the rest of us miss that? You are just too good Don..err Kerux!

Yep, I try to get back to old post to make sure I follow through on what I said I would. There is a thread in the "private study sections" that I noticed I did not provide the "recap" I said I would. I need to get to that!

Brotherly,
Don
