"BAPTISM"
Conclusion To This Section
When all men's arguments fall, the Bible's teaching on this subject
is still the same. Ac 2:38 still teaches baptism is for the
remission of sins:
38 Then Peter said unto them,
Repent, and be baptized every one of
you in the name of Jesus Christ for
the remission of sins, and ye shall
receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Ac 22:16 still teaches baptism washes away sins:
16 And now why tarriest thou?
arise, and be baptized, and wash away
thy sins, calling on the name of the
Lord.
Mk 16:16 still teaches:
16 He that believeth and is
baptized shall be saved; but he that
believeth not shall be damned.
1 Co 12:13 still teaches that baptism puts us into the body of
Christ:
13 For by one Spirit are we all
baptized into one body, whether [we
be] Jews or Gentiles, whether [we be]
bond or free; and have been all made
to drink into one Spirit.
Ga 3:27 still teaches baptism puts us into Christ:
27 For as many of you as have been
baptized into Christ have put on
Christ.
Ro 6:3-4 still teaches baptism puts us into the death of Christ:
3 Know ye not, that so many of us
as were baptized into Jesus Christ
were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him
by baptism into death: that like as
Christ was raised up from the dead by
the glory of the Father, even so we
also should walk in newness of life.
Co 2:12-13 still teaches that through baptism we obtain the newness
of life:
12 Buried with him in baptism,
wherein also ye are risen with [him]
through the faith of the operation of
God, who hath raised him from the
dead.
13 And you, being dead in your
sins and the uncircumcision of your
flesh, hath he quickened together
with him, having forgiven you all
trespasses;
1 Pe 3:21 still teaches that baptism saves us:
21 The like figure whereunto
[even] baptism doth also now save us
(not the putting away of the filth of
the flesh, but the answer of a good
conscience toward God,) by the
resurrection of Jesus Christ:
The first time the gospel was preached, "They then that received his
word were baptized," (Ac 2:41). People today who receive the gospel
do the same thing. Friend, if you will believe in Jesus Christ, and
have repented, i.e., determined that you will live according to His
teaching, won't you confess His name before men and be baptized for
the reasons HE said while you have opportunity?
