:::::This is not a case of a simple mistake or misunderstanding; it has serious consequences for those who believe him, and believe others who teach the same error of false interpretation.

:::::The Greek word here in Titus 3:5 — '''λουτροῦ''' ''loutrou'' "<nowiki>[the]</nowiki> washing" — means "a washing, a bath, a cleansing bath (of water, not the vessel), water for washing, washing". It doesn't mean anything else. The word is used twice in the New Testament (Ephesians 5:26; Titus 3:5), and has been used for more than a thousand years by ecclesiastical writers to the time of the Reformation, as a synonymous figure of speech for "baptism", "the bath of regeneration" ("washing", a bath, figurative, baptism)—the word "washing" itself in Titus 3:5, '''λουτροῦ''' ''loutrou'' (a cleansing bath of water, washing) is not figurative.
