In our judgments of individuals, the Scriptures offer various binaries: one is either a child of God or a child of the devil (Jn. 1:12; 8:44; 1 Jn. 3:8–12; Matt. 13:38); one either has the Spirit of Christ or does not have the Spirit of Christ (Rom. 8:9); one either walks in darkness or in the light (1 Jn. 1:6–7). The visible way we distinguish between these persons is through baptism, beginning in the Old Testament (e.g., the Flood, the Exodus).
