Baptized Unto Moses - 1Co_10:1-2

Baptized Unto Moses - 1 Corinthians 10:1-2.
Here is the word "baptized" again!  I wish the translators would have translated the Greek word "BAPTIZO," instead of just bringing it over and transliterating it with an English spelling.  "BAPTIZO" means "identification"; therefore, the Jewish people were identified with Moses as he led them from Egypt, through the Red Sea toward the Promised Land.  Moses, of course, did not baptize the Jewish people in the Red Sea, as they marched through on dry land.

"And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left." - Exodus 14:22 This has no reference to water baptism, whatsoever! Moses was never given the command to baptize, but was commanded to administer the rite of circumcision. Circumcision was to Israel, what baptism is to the church. Circumcision was established as a sign of the Abrahamic Covenant as given in Genesis 17:9-10...

"And God said unto Abraham...(9)This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised." (10) As Israel identified their faith in God by circumcision; they identified themselves with Moses as their leader. Therefore, "baptized unto Moses" is used, metaphorically, of Israel being identified with Moses, their leader; taking them through the Red Sea and under the cloud of God's protection.
