Baptism

• Who needs to be Baptized

2
Which Baptism is Right?

• Ephesians 44-6
•  4There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye
  are called in one hope of your calling
•  5One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
•  6One God and Father of all, who is above all,
  and through all, and in you all.

3
The Body of Christ is One

• 1 Corinthians 1212-14 
•  12For as the body is one, and hath many members,
  and all the members of that one body, being many,
  are one body so also is Christ.
•  13For 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.
•  14For the body is not one member, but many.

The Purpose of Baptism!

• Romans 63-5 
•  3Know ye not, that so many of us as were
  baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his
  death?
•  4Therefore 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.
•  5For if we have been planted together in the
  likeness of his death, we shall be also in the
  likeness of his resurrection

Shows Confession

• Mark 13-5 
•  3The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
  Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths
  straight.
•  4John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach
  the baptism of repentance for the remission of
  sins.
•  5And there went out unto him all the land of
  Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all
  baptized of him in the river of Jordan,
  confessing their sins.

The Method of Baptism

• Acts 837-39 
•  37And Philip said, If thou believest with all
  thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and
  said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of
  God.
•  38And he commanded the chariot to stand still
  and they went down both into the water, both
  Philip and the eunuch and he baptized him.
•  39And when they were come up out of the water,
  the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that
  the eunuch saw him no more and he went on his
  way rejoicing.

Our Example is Jesus!

• Matthew 313-15 
•  13Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto
  John, to be baptized of him.
•  14But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be
  baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
•  15And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it
  to be so now for thus it becometh us to fulfil
  all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

Pleasing unto the Lord!

• Matthew 315-17 
•  15And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it
  to be so now for thus it becometh us to fulfil
  all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
•  16And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up
  straightway out of the water and, lo, the
  heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the
  Spirit of God descending like a dove, and
  lighting upon him
•  17And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my
  beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Personal Acceptance Public Confession

• Mark 1616He that believeth and is baptized
  shall be saved but he that believeth not shall
  be damned.

What are you waiting for?

• Acts 2215 
•  16And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be
  baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the
  name of the Lord.

The Lord is calling YOU!

• Acts 237-39 
•  37Now when they heard this, they were pricked in
  their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest
  of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we
  do?
•  38Then 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.
•  39For the promise is unto you, and to your
  children, and to all that are afar off, even as
  many as the LORD our God shall call.
