It's funny you should ask this question because my pastor explain this very thing today. Baptism is important because it buries the "old things". "Passed away" means dead and your old life is dead when you confess Jesus as Savior and Lord. When something dies and you don't bury it, it will stink and continue to remind you of it and that will make it hard to leave your past and "become new" if you keep the "old, dead" stuff alive. So, Baptism washes away and buries the "dead" stuff of your past. | ||||||

You are only a new creature when you are "in Christ". What we have to determine then is "How do I get into Christ?" Gal 3:27 says "For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ." (NASB) This shows that you must be baptized into Christ -- Can't find any other way to get into Him and therefore to become a new Creation. | ||||||

Another point: Romans 6:1 following shows that it is only by sharing in the death of Christ that we can share in His resurrection. And we die with Christ when we are baptized. Why are there so many "Christians" who cannot accept that they must be baptized to be saved? Satan has done a wonderful job of confusing us when we read the word of our God. |
