Hi Hank In my opinion and according to the Word, I have come to understand that baptism is a step following repentance and salvation. According to the gospels this is a command from God. I believe that we need to follow God's word. God's word also says that the Spirit of God will give us peace about certain understandings we have regarding the word. So there are many more things I would like to learn more about in the word. This is an excellent way of finding out what others think about certain topics in the word. Much love in Christ Sherna |

Hi, Sherna... I always defer back to the old divines, although they were not always right on everything, they were men deeply immersed (if you'll excuse the pun) in Scripture. "Baptism and the Lord's Supper are ordinances of positive and sovereign institution, appointed by the Lord Jesus, the only lawgiver, to be continued in his church to the end of the world. (Matthew 28:19, 20; 1 Corinthians 11:26) "These holy appointments are to be administered by those only who are qualified and thereunto called, according to the commission of Christ. (Matthew 28:19; 1 Corinthians 4:1) "Baptism is an ordinance of the New Testament, ordained by Jesus Christ, to be unto the party baptized, a sign of his fellowship with him, in his death and resurrection; of his being engrafted into him; of remission of sins; and of giving up into God, through Jesus Christ, to live and walk in newness of life. (Romans 6:3-5; Colossians 2;12; Galatians 3:27; Mark 1:4; Acts 22:16; Romans 6:4) "Those who do actually profess repentance towards God, faith in, and obedience to, our Lord Jesus Christ, are the only proper subjects of this ordinance. (Mark 16:16; Acts 8:36, 37; Acts 2:41; Acts 8:12; Acts 18:8) "The outward element to be used in this ordinance is water, wherein the party is to be baptized, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19, 20; Acts 8:38) "Immersion, or dipping of the person in water, is necessary to the due administration of this ordinance. (Matthew 3:16; John 3:23)" From the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, Chapter 29 In Him, Doc |
