SUPPOSED CAMPBELLITE PROOFTEXTS

John 3:5 "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be

born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of
God."

Catholics also use this verse to prove the "sacrament" of baptism (i.e. infant
baptism) is part of salvation. They are willingly ignorant of the context.
The "water birth" is explained in the very next verse:

John 3:6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born

of the Spirit is spirit."

Compare verses 5 and 6:
water and Spirit = flesh and Spirit

Your first birth is of the flesh (i.e. a WOMAN made of flesh). The "water"
is obviously the water in the AMNIOTIC FLUID in your mother's womb.

That's why when a pregnant mother goes into labor, some of the fluid leaks
out, and she exclaims "My water broke!"

Romans 6:3-4 "Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into
Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried
with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from
the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in
newness of life."

This is obviously the baptism of the Holy Spirit, not water-baptism. Paul
explains it in 1 Corinthians 12:13a "For by one Spirit are we all baptized
into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or
free..."

Ephesians 4:4-6 "There is one body, and one Spirit,
even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith,

one baptism,
One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you
all."
