Rom 6 - What Kind of Baptism?
•
Ed Stevens
There is a wide variation of views on baptism among the various Christian traditions. That is no less the case among preterists. Rom 6:3-4 is a good text to study if you want to see how various interpreters explain baptism. Some preterists understand it as water baptism, while others see it as "spirit baptism" or some other metaphorical concept. Some Collective Body interpreters see the baptism here in Rom 6:3-4 as having some kind of connection to the collective body of Christ. Tom Holland is an example of a futurist who advocates a Collective Body baptism here in Romans 6. He calls it "corporate baptism." We take a critical look at his view, and show that Paul is instead talking about water baptism of individuals, and what that implies about our individual sanctification.
