Keener has specific commentaries on Matthew and John that I'm sure give more detail. I know his pneumatology book, The Spirit in the Gospels and Acts, Keener gives much more detail on these passages (and others, of course) in Matthew, Mark, and John, as well as source citations.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

ETA: I'm not married to one view or the other but Keener (at least in what you quoted) certainly doesn't seem to be making a STRONG case here...using qualifying words of can and should and could...I think it's an interesting conversation though.Last edited by Littlejoe; 03-06-2017, 07:45 AM."What has the Church gained if it is popular, but there is no conviction, no repentance, no power?" - A.W.

Originally posted by Littlejoe View PostWell, looking back at your quote, Keener says "Could be", so saying he believes water to be Spirit is reading more into his words that he actually says IMO.
FWIW, in that tome he also cites Gary Burge's Johannine pneumatology, The Anointed Community, and from what I can glean from that equally highbrow and teeny-fonted book, Burge holds the same view vis-a-vis Spirit and water in John 3.
Jesus' disciples did indeed baptize his followers/new disciples as evidenced in the very next chapter.
I've just started skimming through his stuff to see what he has to say about Xian baptism specifically. So far I haven't found much.Geislerminian Antinomian Kenotic Charispneumaticostal Gender Mutualist-Egalitarian.
