Why Be Baptized? For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection." Here the Bible clearly describes the baptism which was taught and practiced in the early church and which puts one "into Jesus Christ" as a burial. Paul said, "We are buried with him by baptism into death". Again, in Colossians Chapter 2, verse 12, we read that we are "buried with him in baptism". Nowhere in the Bible is the action of Christian baptism described as being anything other than "a burial", or an immersion in water. In Mark Chapter 1, verse 5, we find that John baptized in water. The passage reads, "And there went out unto him all the land of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and ... Baptism, according to the Bible, is not because we have already been saved. But Does baptism really wash away sins? Some say no! The Bible says yes. In other related scriptures we read that "Baptism doth also now save us" (I Peter 3: 20,21). The Apostle Paul adds that we are not ... ... https://www.bible.ca/g-why-be-baptized.htm

The Exodus Route: Goshen and Ramses ... The translation of the Septuagint was the seed that spawned the Synagogue system in 280 BC in Alexandria when spiritually thirsty diaspora Jews gathered in homes to read their new Greek Torah for the first time in their lives and pray to YHWH. Since Hebrew had been was extinct among the Jewish population since 500 BC, this became the standard "pulpit Bible" in the thousands of synagogues all around the world and was used exclusively in Judea at the time of Christ and the Apostles. Only the Temple Sadducees continued to speak Hebrew in their worship services to an Aramaic and Greek speaking audience the same way Roman Catholics today use Latin in English speaking audiences. These Jerusalem Temple approved scholars were the ones who anachronistically updated the ancient Hebrew place-names to reflect their current name.
