John_C said: When NT writers use the phrase, look on your baptism(or something similar), what does it imply and what does it not imply?
Perhaps, you are referring to what is stated in Romans 6:3-11. Your old man has been crucified with Christ that you should walk in newness of life. But, after regeneration, the old man continues to be rebellious after the flesh. The old man must be crucified in repentance, that a new man may come forth in righteousness and holiness (Eph. 4:22-24). Therefore, you should look to your baptism unto Christ and return to it whenever the Holy Spirit is pleased to work repentance and faith through the Word.
What the NT writers do not state is that you should look to your baptism apart from faith that lays hold of Christ (Gal. 3:26,27).
