Baptism

The point here is a symbolic reenactment of rebirth will not save anyone, until
he is really reborn in the spirit. So the only condition for salvation remains to
be "born again" and nothing more. What is the point in being of flesh
(material water) again?
"For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers, that our
forefathers were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea.
They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. They all ate the
same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from
the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ."
The baptismal process is the common experience of pain and suffering,
starvation and thirst they underwent. As they were united with Drinking Jesus,
we are all One in Christ Jesus. We are not one because of sacrament or
ordinance. In these cases there were no real baptism with water at all. Not
only that not a drop of water fell on them
Ex. 14:22 And the people of Israel went into the midst of the sea on dry
ground, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
But as for Pharaoh and his horse who were immersed:
Ex 14:28 The waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen
and all the host of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea; not so much
as one of them remained.
So we see that Israelites were saved from the waters. As for the cloud, this
cloud was not water cloud. They were not rain clouds
Ex 13:21. And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead
them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, that they
might travel by day and by night; 22 the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of
fire by night did not depart from before the people
When the Pharaoh’s army surrounded the Israelites the clouds separated them
and protected them. The cloud was associated with the Angel of the Lord and
the Angel of the Lord was indeed Jesus.
