Hennie Peter was preaching the gospel of the salvation of Jesus Christ to the Jews and then they asked him the following - Acts 2:37, 38 Now when they heard this they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do? Peter said to them, Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Once they heard the gospel message they were convicted of sin and it grieved them so they asked what they should do about it. Peter tells them to repent of sins and be baptized. Jesus told the disciples to go out and baptized disciples - Mathew 28:19, 20 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I command you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. It is a command of Jesus that disciples of Christ, those who come to believe in Him and repent of sin, that they get baptized. Baptism is a symbol of going down into the death and grave of Jesus Christ because He died for your sins by going down into the water and you dying to sin, and coming up out of the water, out of the grave and of death and of your sin, to the resurrection of life in Jesus Christ as a symbol of His resurrection from the dead erasing our sins. Because Jesus was resurrected we too will be resurrected. Baptism is a public declaration of what you have done in Jesus, repented and been born again into eternal life by Him. If you have been saved, you should obey Jesus and be baptized by a body of believers and join a body of believers and learn more about Christ by fellow shipping with them. blessings abound, bowler |
