Subject: Can we stop preaching baptism? |
Bible Note: I think there are some misunderstanding in this subject that we all need to look at. 1. Baptism came from God; Matt 21:25-27 therefore it's of grace! 2. When Jesus died Blood and water came from his body. John 19:34 God is trying to tell us something Here, are we listening? 3. John the Baptist's baptism was for the remission of sins. Mark 1:4 4. Peter Preached the same thing about Baptism Acts 2:38. 5. Paul was told to be baptized to wash away his sins. Acts 22:16. I could go on but I think that's enough to help us see God's purpose for baptism being in his plan for salvation. So when we view what God's word has to say about a subject, it would do us good to take all of it, and not leave out anything including baptism. Here's a little something about Eph 2:1-9 Who was Paul talking to? I believe they were all baptized for the remission of sins in the name of Jesus Christ already, so they knew what the grace of God was. Eph 1:2-13. Eph 2:1 "And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins" goes hand and hand with Rom. 6:3-4 Know ye not, that so many of "us" as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death: 4 Therefore "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. also vs. 17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have "obeyed" form the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. We must obey God!!! |
