THE BAPTISM








Before the crucifixion of Christ faith in it was sacrifice, after Him, in flashback, indicating His death. Belief in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ in BAPTISM ( Rom 6.3-8, Col 2.12, Gal 3.27 ).

This ceremony takes place in the old testament times ( Lev 14.6-9, 6.4; Zach 13.1, Num 19.17-19, Ps 50.9, 2 Kings 5.1-14 ).

 

Before baptism, you must:

1. KNOWLEDGE  - be rifle in the Gospel ( Matt 28.19, Mark 16.15-16,  Acts 8.34 ).
2. FAITH - faith in Christ ( Mark 16.16; Acts 8.12, 36-37 ).
3. REPENTANCE - ask and plead a sinner ( Acts 2.37-38, 3.19 ).

 

Baptism  ( greek  "baptizo" ) means "to immerse".
To be baptized is possible only where there are "many waters" ( John 3.23 ).

Baptism means the following:

1. Go into the water ( Acts 8.38 ).
2. IMMERSE in water ( Acts 8.38, Rom 6.3-5 ).
3. Get out of the water ( Acts 8.39, Matt 3.16 ).

 

The baptism is in the name of (and NOT in the names) of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
( Matt 28,19 ) :

- in the name of Father is from then God becomes our Father ( but not Satan - John 8.44 ), and that we wish to become His obedient children ( 1 Pet 1,14,15.22 ).

- in the name of His Son means that Christ is A Savior and His teaching It is a common rule of life ( Acts 4.12 ).

- in the name of Holy Spirit, then, to listen to and obey the Spirit in everything and believe in His gifts ( John 14.16-17, 26; 16.7-13 ).

 

Baptism is the remembrance of Christ's death, burial and resurrection and is an expression of faith in him ( Col 2.12, Rom 6.3-6 ).
