Cleansing Baptism
Humanity Baptism
Repentance Baptism
Israel Baptism
Spirit Baptism
Total Baptism
Noah (Genesis 6-8) and the flood spoken of as baptism (1 Peter 3:21). All humanity dies except those of Noah’s family in the ark. Humanity was “washed” in the sense that the old humanity died and the new humanity in Noah’s family raised through the ark. Noah and his family were saved in this baptism because they were the new life.
Christ is the new Noah and the new ark. All who are found in Him, as it was those in the ark, are the ones who are saved. Those not found in Christ are dead. The old humanity, us before Christ, is dead. The new humanity, us in Christ, are raised in him. C.H.R.I.S.T. baptism must raise us to be a new humanity in Christ.
