Acts 2: 38 And Peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
也与太28:19一致
Mat 28:19 所以,你们要去,使万民作我的门徒,奉父、子、圣灵的名给他们施洗(或作:给他们施洗,归於父、子、圣灵的名)。
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
西2:12
保罗的意思是认为新约的洗礼已经取代了旧约的割礼。
新约的洗礼是圣灵的洗(重生,内在的割礼,与基督联合)之外在的记号与印证(罗4:11,sign and seal)
What then is the meaning of the phrase “in your baptism”? Evidently Paul in this entire paragraph (2:11-17)magnifies Christian baptism as much as he, by clear implication, disapproves of the continuation of the rite of circumcision if viewed as having anything to do with salvation. The definite implication, therefore, is that baptism has taken the place of circumcision.86 Hence, what is said with reference to circumcision in Rom. 4:11, as being a sign and a seal, holds also for baptism. In the Colossian context baptism is specifically a sign and seal of having been buried with Christ and of having been raised with him. It is, accordingly, a sign and seal of union with Christ, of entrance into his covenant, of incorporation into Christ’s body, the church (I Cor. 12:13). The sign of baptism pictures the cleansing power of Christ’s blood and Spirit. That vivid portrayal is very valuable (cf. Job 42:5, 6). The seal certifies and guarantees the operation of this activity of love and grace in the lives of all those who embrace Christ by faith. Baptism, therefore, shows us a God who tenderly condescends to the weaknesses of his people: their doubts and their fears. (Cf. Heb. 6:17; also for the sacrament of communion Luke 22:19.) Surely, Noah did not despise the rainbow (Gen. 9:12–17). Happily married couples do not think lowly of their wedding rings.
