You must be a believer and I believe you must feel the permission of God to assume this awesome task. There are no stated Biblical perquisites that must be met. |

the authority to baptize was given to the local church by Jesus Himself. (Matthew 28:19). The church then authorizes who may carry out the ordiance of baptism. Normally this is given to the pastor of the church. But if the church wants to they could authorize a deacon or a member of the church to carry out the ordiance of baptism | ||||||

It seems to me that anyone who goes out to "make disciples of all nations" has the authority to baptize. If I, for whatever reason, do not belong to a local church, then according to your logic the Great Commission would not apply to me. I am relieved of the responsibility to present the Gospel since I do not belong to a local church. That just does not sound correct to me. I do believe, as a Bible believing Christian, that I have a command to try to save people. Perhaps I just do not understand what your note means. It would not be the first time I had a wrong interpretation. | ||||||

JimWeber, I guess you can baptize--but not in a local church, unless they say so. Do you attend one? Weekly? A note of concern. Where does it say "a command for YOU to try to save people," I think we do not save, God does. We tell the world (Rom 10:13-15). Steve |

Dear Steve; Yes - several times a week actually. I do believe that the Great Commission is a command. Is it not? Are you being picky since we both know that I can not SAVE anyone. Are you just mincing words a little. You know what is meant by " [you] go out and make disciples.." do you not? Are you one of those Christians who lay in the weeds, ready to pounce? Please pray on it and chill. Chill with love of course. LOL. Jim |
