Disciple baptism?

[exrockstar]

However, you feel as though one has to go through the water baptism motion to show that one understands the symbolism?

Before I answer, I have a question - do you take Communion?

Catholics take the eucharist which they consider a Holy Sacrament, communion or the Lords Supper is usually Protestant terminology

Actually, I have a reason for asking the question - because how you answer will determine how I answer the question. I don't mean this to be a trick or a trap - I just don't want to answer based on an assumption.

No, I don't mean "catholic style" - I've never taken Catholic communion.

Simply put, do you celebrate the "the Last Supper" - partake of "the bread and the wine" - whatever, something?

Really, I do intent to answer your question, I just need to understand where you are coming from a bit better.

P.S. If I don't answer right away it's because I've got a lot of work to do right now....

I can't speak for Neb, but yes I do, not doing so after Jesus telling his followers baptize in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, show He placed emphasis on it, to not do so shows a stiff neck and eyes and ears that do not see or hear.

i know where you are going with this.

yes i do partake of the bread and wine. Once a month.

So i suppose you are going to tie both of those different concepts and place them under the same blanket?

are they really in the same ballpark?

i'll await your answer from my previous question.

And I ask by what possible reasoning could you NOT place them under the same blanket? Both where commanded by Jesus to His followers, so you cherry pick what you want to do as opposed to what Christ commanded.

I'm not sure you do.

I guess that depends on what your concept of the blanket and the ballpark are.

i'll await your answer from my previous question.

Please bear with me - I need to understand you a little better before I can answer. You'll understand - I think?

Why do you partake of the bread and the wine?

And does it hold any meaning to you? Or is it like having turkey on Thanksgiving - just the thing to do?

Seriously, I need to know your context before I can explain.

just explain.

don't let my answers or reasoning affect how you can deliver your response. just say it.

that's alright. thank you for the conversation.

Most Christians take communion. Christ and the last supper is our example.

Mar 1:7 And he preached, saying, "After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.

Mar 1:8 I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."

Mar 1:9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

Mar 1:10 And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.

Mar 1:11 And a voice came from heaven, "You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased."

If it was good for Jesus, I guess it is good for me.

and again, - Do this in remembrance of me."

Luk 22:19 And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me."

Luk 22:20 And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.
