Subject: What if you don't obey that command? |
Bible Note: A covenant is a contract between two. I willing made a choice after hearing the gospel. The covenant I made with God was that I believed that by looking to the Ten Commandments I realized I was a sinner and needed a savior. I believe that God the Father sent his Son through a virgin birth, who died, was burried, and rose again and took my place on the cross. Through baptism I died with Christ and was raised anew. I was filled with the Holy Spirit of promise. I agree to obey God and his commandments. Baptism was also my signature to the covenant that I have with God. Flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom of God. You have to be Spirit. My concern is for those who have excepted Christ and for the unsaved. Many have not heard the entire gospel. When they are not preaching the entire gospel, which is including if you "believe" you should be baptized. When or if a new believer reads their bible and see's the word baptism they will not know what it means or it can cause confusion. I have also been asking many teenagers who are in Christian families if their kids are baptized and they say no and we wonder why we have kids raised in a christian home and they have no power to live like Christians. These same kids say they believe. Where is the power from the Holy Spirit to lead them in paths of righteousness? |
