• Baptism clearly signifies death, and it is not the baptizing but the coming out of the water which can be applied to resurrection. The giving of life is in no way the sense of baptism even as a figure, but leaving the life of Adam by death (the death of Christ) and entrance through that gate into a wholly new place and position.) (“Colossians 2” by J.N. Darby)
• The practical conclusion to Christ’s death and resurrection, as applied to believers, is that Christians (characteristically) are done with the flesh. Their “baptism” signifies this (vs. 12). They, therefore, reject everything to do with the flesh and now live unto God as entirely disconnected from that old order of life. (“Hindrances to Carrying Out the Truth of the Mystery: Colossians 2:4-19” by B. Anstey)
